Not "Just Rocks"

Today's challenge was to open a storage box in your home and take a picture of something that's in there and explain why you're holding onto it.

I took a picture of these rocks.

You see, many years ago, my nephews realized that there were rocks in the creek behind their home.  And they thought that they should gather them, paint them, and sell them.

As a sucker for anything remotely entrepreneurial, I thought this was wonderful, so I purchased one rock from each of them.  This picture shows them.

These are not "just rocks."  These represent the  intelligence and ingenuity of two young boys who were (and still are) very dear to me.

Today they are young men.

One is a software engineer, having earned a Master's degree in just 4 years.  The other is  finishing his second year of college, where he spends most of his time in the music studio and on the Dean's list.

They have no memory of these rocks... but I do.

    Hello and Welcome to my blog!

    I'm a grown up "church girl" who is bouncing back from some hard blows, including an ugly divorce, financial hardship, and dreams deferred.  Now, more than ever before, I am embracing the idea of transformation and beautiful new beginnings. 

    Won't you take this journey with me?
