Little Pink Hearts

Its a gray day, which I hope will be the end of a gray weekend. Dont get me wrong; I appreciate Mother Nature and the need for rain. Really I do. But its just gray! Couldnt we have rain on a bright sunny day? It happens in Florida and Florida is right next to Georgia so whats the big deal? Is there an invisible Sunshine line along the Florida/Georgia border? South of the line sunshines OK. North of the line no way!

Since its such a gray day, with gray rain, gray skies and gray clouds, I gave in to a gray mood. Everywhere I look, things appear gray. Yes, I replaced those rose colored glasses with gray tinted goggles. My clothes look gray. Into the washer they go! The bathroom tile looks gray, out comes the Clorox cleaner. The walls look gray, so here comes the paintbrush. Hang on – cant paint in the rain! Never mind. The bed linens look gray. Strip off the blankets, then the sheets and pillowcases. Toss them into the wash. The mattress pad looks gray too. Cant strip it just yet the washers full right now. So I sat down on the gray bed in the gray room to flounder in my gray mood. Gray, gray, gray theres so much gray!

I looked down at my hand on the bed expecting to see my skin had turned gray. My skin wasnt gray, but my nails were definitely gray tinged. And there, on the mattress pad, just at the tip of my fingers was a tiny speck of vivid pink. Pink! Not gray! What manner of joke is this?

I looked closer. It wasnt just a speck of pink, but a teeny tiny wee little pink heart. A brilliant pink heart in a sea of gray. I was dumbfounded. Where had it come from and how did it get buried beneath my sheets? I racked my brain. Nope, nothing there. That came out wrong. OF COURSE theres SOMETHING there just nothing that related to a little pink heart buried in the sheets. Im fairly certain Id have a quite clear memory of any activity on my bed that left little pink heart remainders.

Regardless of the fact that I could find no reason for a little pink heart to be on my mattress pad, there it sat. And so I did the only thing a right-thinking woman trapped in a gray day could do. I smiled a bright smile, left it right where it was and made the bed over it. Then I thanked the faeries and blessed their little bright pink hearts..

interesting to say the least. perhaps ur daughter helped those fairies?

what activity would you liked to have had happen? I like how you write.

quite a nice reminder that when everything looks gray… somewhere, most unexpectedly, there is that little surprise glimmer of hope….

What a sweet reminder of brighter days. Hey, one thing you could change if you’re tired of gray — the background to your diary. I like it, but I’m just sayin’…. RYN: Absolutely, use the prayer. I like it because it’s short and sweet and covers all the bases. Blessings,

Wow! You’ve been writing and writing! My old spot was deleted including my favorites list and all the other Free OD amenities. I think I can add Free OD people to my OD Faves…I just have to go find out how. At any rate, I’m glad to see you! BTW, this is a really cool entry…~:) ArtImp, nsi

I’m going to have to go check my bed, I need some pink hearts! 🙂

Hi lady! What a great entry! I love the little surprise splash of vivid color PINK in the ending. I would have made the bed over the heart too!! I’m going to post my lemon sugar cookie recipe so you can make ’em too. Sure to brighten a gray day. Have a good day and thanks for your note…I want spring and sunshine here in Iowa too!

i like that, wish i could find one on my gray days.. it’s the same way here,if it rains it is gray, or black….thunderstorms are black, but if they are noisy enough i kind of like them…:)

It is nice to know you have been visited by fairies! And left a nice pink heart. Re My sad poems..I do not go about each day sad although I do get depressed on grey days too. I encourage you to go even if short of money . never wait because it may be too late! We all go around thinking we have unlimited time here. We do not and it could end any time as I have discovered in Pain filled ways. Alex

*big smiles*

ryn .. rmn … plural? {smile} do write it… i want to read it… that is if my invite is not in the mail… {smile}

The Watcher

It was probably from Torin, leaving a pink heart on your sheets. That way you know he’s thinking of you.

fabulous entry and I think that pink heart was a reflection of your heart that manifested in the middle of the night…and the fairies sat and watched it happen and were of course filled with delight. They will be back and that heart will grow bigger and will deepen as well and we will all have delight enjoying the depth and love that comes from the heart of Sunshine wolf huggles you tight

I am happy to find out that inspite of your gray, gray, gray, everything gray, you are able to find something different and of course the smile that bears in the unfoldings. Nice written OD. Take care. Hugs.
