Dedication
To: Family!
To: Life! To: Love!
(When it comes
to “Family!” We won the Lottery-of-“Life” with “Love!”)
November
25, 2016, in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary, a “Golden”
jamboree which we managed to spread out over two days (and, then some), our
dear girls gave us several gifts: a tri-photo frame for us to complete with
family pictures and a delightful “creative” offering filled with a “life-time”
of memories: a “cookie jar” stuffed with 365 individual slips of paper, each
imprinted with a short inscription reminiscing an event from those half-a-century
of “special” events which we turned into awesome adventures to span a lifetime
of love.
This
book-creation utilizes those “loving” vignettes with added comments by the
author.
What
a very delicious idea our Caty and Becky-girl came up with for our special
celebration.
Z.
Tyler punked Chevy Chase’s “Christmas Vacation” with an appropriate
instantaneous quip stating: “It’s the gift that keeps on giving, Clark!” while
Miss Lauren and Miss Lexi shed a solemn tear at the nostalgic-beauty of the
gift and our pistol, Anna Marie, betrayed the tiniest bit of disappointment
that the “cookie jar” contained only little notes on paper, No! Cookies! The young lady looked
hungry, but, in the spirit of the moment, giggled and laughed adoringly.
I
will also use these gentle “nudgings” as a basis for my daily blog:
trinitytrace.blogspot.com.
Thanks!
Girls! For the focused impetus aiding my blog posts celebrating my cherished
mantra: Faith! Family! Freedom! I
pray it waves proudly unfurled on a golden-staff gonfalon as a beacon inviting
eternal multitudes to emotionally experience: Live! Love! Laugh!
I
begin this journey to create a loving “Thank you!” to Miss Beth and Miss Becky
the day after our epic celebration, November 26, 2016, in hopes of completing
the “tome” within a year ago that we might bestow the effort on our daughters
as gifts on Christmas, 2017. Good luck!
The
compilation of this work will be a “Blessing” in disguise: a re-living of a
fabulous life!
So,
let the games begin! I intend to add: excitement, creativity, love, insight
with purpose.
Some
“Rhyme”-thoughts:
Good! Is just enough
of effort
Better! Is born of
focused intensity
Best! Is conquest-love of pinnacle summit
Live!
Love! Laugh!
Focus contemplate!
Vigilant be! No
one future is ever late!
Faith!
Family! Freedom Might
just be all there really---Is!
In one
eternal instant the only mercy-blessing
will be…His!
