Anthropomorphic me…

Hears voices…wandering through thrift shops…Goodwill…little whispers wafting up from the shelves…

Pick me…choose me…love…me…the oddest items reach out…mugs…figurines…not the beautiful vintage glass pieces…but the cast offs…

The unnoticed…the ones destined for the bin in two weeks…stopped at a yard sale…more like a clearing out of a barn…that used to be an antique shop…

Glanced at an art piece…you need that…called the vendor…five bucks…got it from the artist…years ago…

You need that…not really…it’s big…quirky…covered in dust and lots and lots of spider pooh…

But then…heard the call…you need me…colorful…whimsical…that flying cat…a little TLC…and it would be…perfect…yes…just perfect…

And so we end these two weeks of favorite things…with that which embodies…the favorite of all favorites…

Loving…the unloved…hearing the call…seeing the need…searching…finding…and then…lovingly…embracing…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
