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 …
