My sister Joyce gave me these earrings to wear in her wedding in 1969. That marriage has ended. But I still have these lovely earrings and am wearing them today. For me, they symbolize something enduring: My sister’s love, my faith in life, my dedication to joy. While the occasion for which she gave them to me might have resulted in divorce, it also gave her a beautiful daughter, my niece Lisa Corley Davis, a gift of unassailable beauty. When I wear these earrings, I cannot help but think of my sister and my niece, and the thought of them pulls a smile to my face regardless of what else I might be facing. Because of these earrings, I don’t associate the color blue with sadness, but with the comfort of family and the peace of knowing I am loved.
Can’t wait to see them!! They are lovely, as are your thoughts.
Gratitude is a magic key to happiness. Enjoyed this share very much!
Pat & Cindy: Thank you both!
What treasures — the lovely earrings and even better — the wonderful women!
