I was at a clothing store and saw hopscotch on the floor (literally, right there…in the middle of the store) and it did my heart good.
As soon as I saw it, I smiled, walked right over, hopped my way down and felt downright good about it!
Hopscotch was one of the fun pieces that filled my childhood days.
This life…here, as we know it, St. James says, is like a vapor; gone so quickly. In less than a month, death came to three families I know. I cannot begin to describe the sadness this brings. I’ve cried many tears.
Hopscotch was a reminder to fully embrace the little delights that each day brings…to savor the moments…to keep childlike fun at the forefront.
Find your hopscotch ~ some seemingly small delight that in reality is BIG/good/healing for your heart!
Common Day Hero: A short two weeks ago, at a wedding reception, you looked at me and said, why isn’t anyone dancing? I said, Aunty, you have to get out there and show them how it’s done. And then, you did! You got out on the dance floor with your eldest son and showed us all how it’s done! From all the stories already being shared, it’s evident that you showed us how it’s done in many areas of life ~ faith, family, fun and a fierce dedication to service; always…a heart of service. Thank you Aunty! As we mourn, grieve and process this deep loss, I remember the words of your son Shaun, Heaven gained a giant! Indeed! Sarojnee (lotus ~ emerging from murky waters, to the surprise of all, with clean petals; rising above!) Devi (goddess) Naidoo (typically Telegu), Warrior turned Angel, I dedicate this post to you.
