:: How Did She Know?

tall shiny jar of glitter in the sunlight


How easy it is to keep me entertained… you simply shake things up (good therapy) and set the jar down in a sunbeam. Next you lean in close and watch the sparklies spin.

After they settle, you shake the jar, position it once more in the sun and be mesmerised. The only bad thing about it: the glitter settles too swiftly.

At this point repeat until marvellously calm or your sweetie asks for the nth time, “What are you doing?”

(Surreptitiously shakes the jar one more time.) “Nuthin' ”


tall jar full of liquid and golden glitter

My daughter-in-love had this shiny little bottle for me at Christmas. Full of gold, green and brown glitter. She knows me well. Actually, there are times when we wonder how she got my brain. Same panic hand movements, same happy dances ... same meltdown when our husbands inexplicably say no to us ...


Take time to enjoy the simple things, love,
Zuzia

Stay Calm, Be Brave, Watch Something Shiny!!
