things that reflect who we are...

As we head out to Long Island this weekend a funny memory came to mind. My sister and I had gone for a walk at the beach club where we've summered since we were children. We were randomly collecting rocks and I said that the rocks we choose are a reflection of who we are.

Mine were craggy, textured & multi-colored. My sister's rocks were smooth, clear in color and soft in color.

On our return, we asked our father to tell us what he saw if the rocks we chose reflected our personalities. He asked us to place the rocks on the table. My sister took each rock and gently placed the rocks on the table in a line. I let my rocks tumble to the table. He told my sister that she is organized, neat, calm, quiet yet every once in a while you surprise all of us with a sharp quip! To me he said I was outgoing, spontaneous, chaotic somtimes, talkative, gregarious. He was right on target with both of us.
