Magnetic Words: Two for One
Posted on 19. Jul, 2009 by Deb in Observations
I’m well aware that I missed writing about my word of the day yesterday. It wasn’t that I was ignoring it, I just chose to spend time with my daughter and as much time with The Boy as we could manage. I took the words of Scarlett O’Hara to heart, though, and thought it would be best to think about it tomorrow.
I couldn’t exactly not think about it, though. The word echoed in my heard throughout the day and I went to bed with it ringing in my ears: Sculpture. it followed me into my dreams as my dreams were filled with marble and paintings and sculpture and a monastery. I think it was Philadelphia.
This morning, I pulled my word, and was laughing before I had my first sip of coffee: angel. Now I knew why I had procrastinating a day: The Angel Sculpture.
This sculpture is in my parent’s back yard. I can’t recall if it was a gift for my mother’s birthday or Mother’s Day, but I do know that I purchased it in 1988. My mother is far from perfect, but she introduced me to a love of books and from that grew my love of words.
I love this little angel. I wish I could find another one for my yard. In the meantime, I’m happy to gaze upon her sweet little face on my computer.
