Symbols and images can evoke pleasant memories. That’s what happened to me today, when I was in the midst of searching through my photo files, looking for a summer-appropriate shot. The one depicted in this post was snapped in the outdoor area of a little souvenir hut in Cape May, at Sunset Beach, the spot where Cape May Diamonds are found, and where you can view the famous WWII cement ship, aground in the green offshore waters.
Those seven little guys shown above all hanging neatly in a row against a gray, weatherworn fence seem quite content soaking in the summer sun and taking life easy, waiting perhaps, for someone to purchase them for a home decoration. Personally, I think they look perfectly happy just chilling out, enjoying the natural benefits of a Jersey Shore sun-soaked day. I hope they are still there the next time we come for a visit.
They don’t have to worry about taxes, Iraq, frozen government in Washington, tricky goings-on in Trenton, and talking heads on TV who fill in air time with hot air.
Ah! . . . I suggest emulating those little guys in the picture and forget about all your cares for a day or two this weekend – take a break from problems you can do something about and forget the rest.
