Sometimes All It Takes

---

​This old gal…

After a Ramblings comment…stopped to take notice…like really take notice…of that little tortilla rolling pin…

Cute…colorful…dainty…not a nestler…seven years…hard to store…rolling in the drawers…used maybe once…to crush crackers…for meatloaf…

Little Pin…came with the marriage…along with the man…that love me…love my little rolling pin too…kind of thing…

Never thought much about it…didn’t care…figured it was picked up…at a store somewhere…

But no…Little Pin…is different…unique one of a kind…asked that tortilla making man of mine…where he got it…

A mop…or maybe a broom handle…came the answer…like everyone everywhere…can look at a a mop handle…and see a rolling pin…

And aren’t we all…a little bit like that mop handle…who we are…what we should be…determined perhaps…by certain circumstances…

But sometimes…all it takes…is a new set of eyes…to see the beauty…to see potential…to see a future…you never…dared dream…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
