Slow Down

It's time for me to slow down. I know this because I lose things when I multitask quickly for several days in a row. This morning, I was about to leave for Noon Prayer service when I noticed that one of my favorite necklaces was not around my neck where I thought I had put it.  I remembered taking it out of the jewelry box. I hadn't moved from the room, but the necklace was nowhere in sight.
"It has to be here. I haven't left this room!" I whispered. After a few minutes of searching the room, I sat down, laughed and spoke out loud.
 "Now I know why my third graders used to look so genuinely bewildered when they couldn't find their pencils, even though they hadn't left their seats. I haven't left my room and I can't find my necklace! I've become my third graders!" 
Then, I found the necklace on the table near my jewelry box.  It's a good thing I was heading for Noon Prayer service. I needed to be there, sit still, and think about only one thing for an hour.

A Sweet from Memory Lane

I attended a Book Club meeting last Saturday. Our host served a special dessert that took all of us back to our childhood days. We shared our memories of the tasty cold treat. Long ago, some of us got  a sweet like this from an ice cream truck and some of us got it from the neighborhood corner store. All of us remembered that it cost only a couple of coins back then. We remembered it by different names: Dreamsicle, Creamsicle, Orange Cream Pop. It was a happy dessert on a Saturday afternoon for a group of lady readers. Maybe you remember this sweet or one like it from your childhood time?😊
