love, love, love
this old (1959) framed wall map
(it's huge)
i found junkin' on saturday at an estate sale for $5
I love that it's previous owner
used orange push pins
to show the trail of his life
we will continue this map's tradition
and add to it - our own life trails
his = black
mine = green
from my 'childhood' files
i love my mother beyond words but
i can clearly trace
every fear i have in life
back to her irrational fears
that one of her children
would die or leave:
Here's my top 10 list
choking - grapes, peanuts, fish bones, marshmallows etc
standing or sitting too close to the edge of anything
heights: (see above)
cars - esp. driving too fast around corners
machinery - operating or standing too near
(anything from a lawn mowers, tractors, weed eaters,blenders, etc)
knives: sharp knives, dull knives or butter knives
drowning: oceans, swimming pools or buckets of water
big animals or animals with teeth: horses, cows, dogs or enclosed zoo animals
getting lost: although we did walk over a mile to get to school and crossed a busy hwy?
growing up & leaving: moving: far away from her
some of these fears were actively reinforced
some were learned through association
and yes
i did pass
a few of her fears & 'concerns'
along to my own kids
what can i say
i am a
'safety mom'
and I
learned from the
best

garden thoughts ...
