Anybody know what time it is? Anybody care? About time!
Singing in my head. Today is COLUMBUS DAY.........where would we be without this brave adventurous man and his bunch of buddies? It is about time we all consider the possibilities of what, who and where we would be if history has not fallen in the exact pattern that is has.
As a small child, I was always fascinated by the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. I could recite the poem "1492" and sing each note of the song we all had to learn. The day October 12th was a fascinating day for me every year. Then as I grew up and out of the "hung on history" stage of my life, I decided that the standard holidays of Christmas, Halloween and the yummy Thanksgiving had more festive entitlement.
Oh but how untrue......How untrue because in 1981 a more spectacular event occured in my life and yes indeed, on Columbus Day, the arrival in my life that gave me a new world. I did not even have to get on a ship to start this journey or all of the wonderful adventures that came with October 12, 1981. Since that day, I have realized that it was destiny for me to be so enamored with Columbus sailing the ocean blue in 1492, because exactly 489 years later i would personally experience a "trip of a lifetime" that to this day thrills me every moment.
Thank you for the adventure, for being my TRIP and for always savoring the moment. God Bless You today and always.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to someone Very Special in my life.
