Today The Bright Side Project posed this question, “What would you pack into your satchel?”  Seeing how they also asked for creativity, I imagine they wanted something like sunshine, for a cloudy day – or maybe a Yak named Jack.  But I pondered all the same.  As I head out on this journey called life, what would I want in my satchel?

*a bible, as my guide

*a passport, for unexpected adventures

*an umbrella, for when the rain falls

*bandaids, to cover hurts

*a tissue, to wipe away tears

*a song, to sing

*journals, sketch pads, and pens, with which to capture imagination

*a book, to take me away

*hair band, with which to pull back my hair and get to work

*chapstick, for that unexpected kiss

*bread, to share with a friend

*champagne, to toast the good times

*a camera, with which to save memories

*dancing shoes, to be foot-loose-and-fancy-free

*marbles, in case I lose mine

*candles to light the way

*seeds, to plant flowers where there once was but weeds …
