It's Pink Day Again

Once again it's Pink Saturday.

Please join all the pinkies at 

Beverly's.

 

Thank you so much, Beverly,

for hosting this meme every week.

This week while at the airport,

yes, I know I'm there a lot,

I sat beside a young man.

I picked up my knitting and he turned to me and said,

"Good afternoon."

I was shocked.

I thought he might be talking on the phone,

but, no. 

He was talking to me.

He proceeded to tell me, at twenty,

this was his first time flying

and he was frightened.

I told him my story about the little girl

who sat beside me and was also on her

first flight.

I told her I fly twice a week -at least -

and had been flying that much for 

fifteen years.

She nodded and asked me,

So how many times have you crashed?

The young man laughed with me.

I encouraged him all would be well.

On the plane a very nice older woman asked to sit beside me.

She had an overstuffed bag and when she 

leaned over to dig something out

I thought perhaps yarn?

But no,

she dug out 

her rosary.

Then she proceeded to pray and cross herself.

For a brief moment I wondered,

if I was being told something.

But no, the flight was uneventful.

But both people were looking for something.

The young man, confirmation that 

following his dreams was a legitimate choice.

My opinion: Always follow your dreams.

The older woman, an encouraging word.

She was flying to Texas to be with an ailing mother.

My opinion: Always follow your heart.

In return,

I too received something.

Blessings from them both.

The only thing I had to do, was

follow my dream, follow my heart and then open my mouth..

 

I hope your day is filled with blessings.
