Thinking of you
The other day, I came across a picture of a cardinal on facebook. It reminded me of a former coworker of mine, who had once shared that her mother loved cardinals. Now I think of her whenever I see one, or a picture of one, and I shared the picture on her wall.
A friend of mine from Girl Scouts always enjoys hippos, and I think of her every time I see one.
And this is how it goes.
An owl reminds me of a former friend of mine that is still dear to my heart. A dragonfly, a friend that always wears a dragonfly necklace. A turtle, a close cousin that I grew up with. An eagle, another cousin. My friend’s husband wants a pot-bellied pig for a pet, so I think of them when I see one. The list goes on.
And apparently someone thinks of me every time she sees Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
(She knows me well!)Isn’t it amazing what associations we form about other people, that seeing something makes us think of them? What (other than ice cream and tie-dye shirts) remind you of me? What do you think reminds other people of you?
