Day 774 Souvenirs

 

No fancy souvenirs needed when there's lucky rocks just laying around waiting for me to find them. This rock was so incredibly perfect, I couldn't resist scooping it up and bringing it home. A few quick strokes with a sharpie and I had a spectacular memento from the trip to Maine that will undoubtedly bring me good luck forever. When I first saw my rock, along the shoreline, still under water, I immediately knew I needed to have it. Pant legs rolled up, shoes kicked off, I waded into the cold water to retrieve the precious stone. The white stripe running perfectly through the middle all the way around is the trademark for my lucky rocks and this 12" stone had a perfect line! Other folks might explore souvenir shops but I  prefer a little something from nature. Every time I see my rock I will remember the beautiful seashore, the chill of the cold water, the rocks under my feet and my family laughing at me as I snatched up my rock (I'll even think of the squirrel). Well, the jokes on them now since I'll have all the luck as well as an amazing rock on display, fitting right in with my decor. My next trip is to Florida, not sure I can pack a rock in my suitcase, I might have to find a smaller token to bring home. I'll be thinking of a wish for my giant rock, to put all that luck to work soon. For now, its only job is making me smile, with wonderful memories of a great trip and an abundance of good luck coming my way.
