Just got back from a most heart-warming vacation with family and friends. It was a reunion of sorts after a couple of years of not getting together. The kids are all grown up. Some have just joined the workforce. Others are in college, some in high school. They talk and dress differently now. While we adults have noticeable white hair now and need to have our blood pressure checked every so often. And yes, conversation seems to veer towards our health.
I came home nourished in soul because of the warmth of friendship that never wavered. Reconnecting the strands of our lives was easy, like we just missed a day. It is a blessing to find ourselves kept in the hearts of each other no matter the paths we have taken, the time that has elapsed... the good, the bad, the funny memories evoked.
The snapshots I took of the Coral Vine and the Desert Rose this holiday represent just what I have brought home with me in mind and spirit.
The color pink, created by combining white and red, is the color most often associated with girls, especially babies. In 1597, Shakespeare used the word pink to describe a feeling. "In the pink" is a phrase that means feeling good and doing well. - www.ehow.com
