Pocket Change

The weather turned cool here in the Valley of the Sun, and early this morning I slipped into a jacket, stuck my hand in the pocket and found treasure! It's always a nice surprise when you wear a fav pair of pants, or a coat that's been put away for a while and come up with some kind of pocket change!

Today, however, it wasn't pocket change, but a seashell collected at the beach in June when I visited with my granddaughter. I folded my fingers around it, closed my eyes, and imagined I was standing at the ocean's edge again, the soft rippling foam at my feet, the roar of the waves as they rolled in, every now and then, a seagull's cry in the distance.

Sometimes, its the little things, the little moments in time that give us the greatest pleasure when we look back at them. Have you checked your pockets today?

HUGS to everyone!
