I was thrift shopping with my husband, something we often do. As we walked in, he went left, and I went right.
My gaze swept over the shelves and was immediately held.
I felt like she called me over. I didn’t make eye contact right away. I looked at everything around her before I allowed my eyes to fall directly on the figure.
Elen.
After I noticed Elen, the next thing I noticed was that she had antlers. Well, she had antler, singular. There was a left antler and then there was the space where the right antler used to be.

Imagine my surprise when I found another one very much like it at a Goodwill Store a couple of weeks ago!

In my defense, over the more than 10 years I have been engaging in the My One Word practice, I discovered that it’s very helpful to keep your word front and center by placing it in your field of view when it’s practical to do so. I love and drink a lot of coffee and tea on a normal working day, so a mug makes the perfect vehicle for my word.
I saw this mug at a local yard sale last week.
I was walking up and down the rows of tables when the bright yellow color beckoned. [Disclaimer: Yellow is my favorite color, so my eyes are always primed to see it.] Keep reading
