The Light Within

The irises down the street were so gorgeous and blooming. I couldn't resist a snap when I saw the light inside them, the light within. I desire to be so obviously filled with light, joy, inner beauty.

But I'm just an old prune...my daughter told me so yesterday at lunch. It went down like this:

We were eating lunch and I told Clara to eat her prunes. "They are too sticky," she says. "Well you are sticky, so that's perfect." I joked. "Well you're a prune!" she retorts. Guess my age is showing more now, like I feared. An old prune.

I did prod her as to what she meant by that and she said that my eyes are the color of a prune. Way to backpedal there, Clara;-).

Happy weekend, my friend. Hope that yours are full of beauty and joy!

I shouldn't laugh, but your story did make me chuckle! My grandsons keep calling me old, but I'm young at heart and still wearing red lippy! Beautiful purple flower, nice thought for Cathy.
