Possibilities
This antique window sits in our front hallway, visible to all as they enter. Age has worn it down, and it shows. I only see beauty in the peeling paint, cloudy glass, and splintering wood. I rescued it while browsing at a flea market many years ago. I didn’t know exactly what I would do with it, but I had a feeling that it still had use and more life in it. I brought it home, cleaned it up, painted the back of the cloudy glass, and added a quote I found that spoke to me. “Always believe something wonderful is about to happen.” I have no clue who first wrote it, but it came at a time when I needed that reminder. There are days when I walk right past and don’t even notice it’s there. Other days, I stare at it and ask myself if I truly believe in what it’s saying. Many days, I walk past and think, YES, the world is full of possibilities, and I choose to believe something wonderful is about to happen. I’m not sure how it’s already here, but this is my last year in my forties. Like the wind...
