It took me only seconds to think what that would be for me, as I wear a gold thumb ring on my left hand. The only time I take it off is when its forced (like for surgery; when that happens, my best friend 'holds it' for me until I return).
But more than a picture of the item, what fascinates me are the stories behind how it became some sort of talisman to a person. Was it something that was found? Is it associated with something, or someone, for a reason? Of course, my thumb ring has its own story.....
After my divorce, I was worried, and a little depressed, about being alone, having to start over, afraid no one would want me again. (typical feelings for that situation, I hope!) When I started chatting with my friend, my Prof, my mentor (You know who you are!!); he convinced me that I needed something to symbolize my freedom, to remind me I'm a good person, that I can do anything I set my mind to... in short, the Goddess within me!!! So after some discussion, we settled on the thumb ring -- something I can wear that doesn't get in the way, and is always there to remind me that I'm special!
A short story, but simple and effective. I never go without my thumb ring, and when I'm having doubts, a little nudge with my other fingers and I know its there, not letting me forget my Goddess within!!
What's your lucky charm or talisman ???
HUGS to everyone!!
