One day I came across a ceramic angel while I was shopping at Ross. On the angel's dress it said, "Remember the past, Live for the Present, and Dream of the Future."
I thought, "how amazing??" I find myself focusing too much on my past, not enough on the present, and I tend to forget to dream of the future. This little angel was exactly what I needed.
I kept the angel in our main bathroom. I wanted to see her often as well as anyone who came to visit our home. I wish I had taken a picture of her cause one day I knocked her over and the her wings fell off. I was so distraught. But, she still looked like a woman with a wonderful message on her dress, so I kept her. The breakage wasn't noticeable.
Until the day I knocked her over again.
She went head first into the sink and her head fell off.
That was it. The end of my angel. I was so sad.
But the message remains. "Remember the Past, Live for the Present and Dream of the Future." Something I'm working on daily. I hope I can one day find another angel, just like her, to remind me of what is important.
