Adornments

This assortment of costume jewelry lies in my kitchen window. I should put it away but I just love looking at it. The colors and structure make me happy. Not expensive pieces, but so like art. I don't want to hoard it away. I want to enjoy it, if not on my arms, then here in my window sill.
We were reminded today how brief and uncertain life is. One of our choir members died of a heart attack last night. Suddenly. Without warning.
The reality of death is looming large in my heart today. I will strive to make the most of each moment , each person I encounter.
And I will enjoy looking at my little baubles on my windowsill.
