MAY I        YOU

Even though I live with my head in the clouds and my feet in cotton wool, I have a hard time reading between the lines.

I don’t really “get” sarcasm. Innuendoes are lost on me.

“Why don’t you just say what you mean?” goes through my mind when confronted with clever talk.

...

Nah. Not a leprechaun.  The other one. He has a number of names.

• Envy.

• Jealousy.

• Dismay

• Dislike

• How about malcontent?

No, nobody would like to have a “little guy in green” label.

It signifies something you do not have.

Might never have.

It was on impulse that I checked May I Hug You to see from where my “followers” hail.

I expected the United States and a couple more English speaking countries.

I’m blessed with an amazing daughter-in-law.

One of my childhood highlights was the Annual Agricultural Town Fair.

• Horses and cows and sheep and goats to be judged.

• Knitting and sewing, embroidery and painting.

As Advent hustles us towards Christmas and we eagerly await the birth of the Christ Child, my mind once again turn to his mother.

What do we really know about her? I think about her as I go about my day. I dream about her.
