patience / wishes



This is embarrassing - these one-sided posts. But here I am with nothing to show and nothing to say either.
"Our patience will achieve more than our force." - Edmund Burke /

i bought a watch today at potter's house, a local thrift store. the battery was dead and i could choose any time i wanted to have on its face forever. two dollars seems a small price to pay for eternal wishes. 11:11, always."

True story: mom posts the blog with a one-sided photo, a little frustrated that she didn't get an image from daughter... again. She wishes she didn't have to remind her to send a photo each day, but she decides that she just needs to be patient with daughter - knows she is busy with school work and has little time for this blog. Maybe once a day is too much to expect. So she's getting ready to turn in for the night and a beep comes on her phone - email coming through. As she is reading the email from her daughter, she looks at the clock, it is 11:11pm. How crazy is that? A smile comes across her face. Goodnight.

This is my favorite so far. Perfect post. Perfect story. Perfect glimpse into who Taylor is, in all her dreamy glory.

I live for moments like this, when the universe is handing out gifts, and smiling when we receive them.

Love this!

PS - I've linked to this on my blog. It's on my left sidebar, under Peeking Elsewhere.

Hope that's okay!

If you care to visit, I, Leslye, have another blog - AutumnSun where I ramble around different paths and pleasures of my own.
