Another butterfly for my butterfly album collection. 9-10-2018 Perryton, TX
I have many butterfly
pictures that I have taken in my butterfly album collection, but not
any two are alike. Today I saw this yellow butterfly with wings wide
open like it was posing for it's picture to be made. What a thrill,
since most of them don't want their pictures made. Every time I see a
butterfly I think of the butterfly quilt my grandmother made by hand
with every white block having a different color butterfly embroidered
on it. It was gorgeous. I would give anything I have to get my hands
on that quilt. I have no idea where it's at, but surly it hasn't been
trashed because even the age of it would be priceless to me. My
grandmother was a beautiful, talented lady. She passed away at age
74, and I was 14. I slept in bed with her many of nights, and it took
me years to quit crying for her. I had a good mother, but grandmother
was my second, best mother. I see her now in that long, pepper, and
salt hair pined in a coffier bun on the back of her head. I have put
it up for her many times. She had plastic brown marble hair pins to
hold it in place. I still dream about her a lot, and have hopes of
seeing her again someday. I never saw her in any kind of dress but a
long dress, or a flannel nightgown. Sometimes she would wear an
apron. She was always slim, and would have made a great model. She
was fun, and told me funny, almost nasty jokes. But I might add her
jokes wouldn't even be considered nasty at all today. I loved that
pretty lady with all my heart.
I went to the Center today
for lunch. I had not been in a month, and I found several things had
changed. Not to my desire, but life is made to change from day to
day. I will have to work on myself now to accept those changes, and
develop a positive attitude about them. I'm afraid that will take
some time, since many things you don't question, but just wait for
answers to come to you. I've always heard when God closes a door he
always opens another. I'm waiting for that door to open. In the
meantime I am happy to be well, and safe at home. My dreams are still
the best part of my life. Some day some of them will come true. I am
yielded to whatever God wants me to have, because I know He is the
answer to all confusion, and the creator of all joy. My laughter
hasn't stopped, and I do plenty of it every day. Sometimes I get the
message that others are laughing with me. Let us keep it up, because
it is the best medicine on the market. I'm sending out my love to all
fun seekers, and to all who are not fortunate enough to laugh at this
very moment.
God Bless
