I got a SURPRISE for YOU!

Curly Straws? Yep I use them now!

Yesterday as I was pouring my juice two little feet ran up to me and out of this toothless grin came the words...
”I got a SURPRISE for you!”
and the sweet little hands reached into the pantry and pulled out a
PRIZED POSSESSION...


Five Curly Straws!!!
that were obtained by using
PERSONAL FUNDS
(that little bit of hard earned money from commission/pay day)
My first reaction was to THINK “Thanks, but no thanks
I am all grown up now and those are kids things.
Anyway don't germs get stuck in the loop t loops of those things!”


But the grin started to appear on MY face and the grin slowly became an all out laugh,
joy and excitement...
My big hands
reached for the straws
and I heard my voice say,
“Thank you, how thoughtful,
I will use the Pink AND Yellow one TOGETHER!
One for me
and
one for the child in me that didn't get to drink out of them enough...
??? I guess. :)


Anyway I DID IT!
I drank out of those curly straws alllllllll day
and let me tell you
it was FUN!
I kept thinking things like...
“These straws make this glass a bit top heavy,
I hope this grape juice does not spill all over the carpet!” :)
But I went back and back again getting glasses throughout the day
and
YEP EACH time I added the straws!
I took a CHANCE...
I RISKED making a MESS....
and I SURVIED :)


The little feet, hands, and toothless grin was so PROUD of me
and
I will always remember those TWO SMILES
those HUGH SMILES
one I saw
(and one I felt
on my own face)
when I put the straws in MY glass!


Here's Hoping you go out and get some TODAY
and
have a bit of FUN!
Or better yet
ask the little feet, hands and toothless grin in your life
to let you BORROW one of theirs
and WATCH them SMILE
and feel YOUR SMILE.
