Time to Reflect
Working on a jigsaw puzzle does give time to reflect. The first days of the new year always brought my uncle Norman and his wife Florence to my folk’s home for a day of playing Pinnacle. Many of those traditions have long gone by the wayside.
Thinking on my mom and dad these last several days always brings sweet memories. My parents had pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, many times over the years. They were there just as many times to help the four of us kids.
I take pride in having done the bootstrap thing from time to time for myself. Hopefully I will pay it forward in whatever way I can during the days and years to come. It brings joy.
Have a great weekend as the weather is being kind to us . . . for now.
