A Pink Button and a Birthday

The button jar is a H I T. The girls visited last night and asked to choose a button for today even though it was a day early. I let them. It was Natalies turn and the button she chose is small and smooth and pink. Pink is not my favorite color. It feels pale and wishy washy to me, all bubble gum and tutus. I decided to look it up The first definition was true to my feelings. Pink, a delicate color that means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness, is associated with bubble gum, flowers, babies, little girls, cotton candy, and sweetness. It did go on to say that the color pink is the color of universal love of oneself and of others.
Hmmmm. I looked at the meaning on a deeper level and came up with this. Pink represents compassion, nurturing and love. ... Pink is intuitive and insightful, showing tenderness and kindness with its empathy and sensitivity.
Today is my Aunt Nancy's 86th birthday. I was fortunate to be able to worship with her in our church today. Aunt Nancy is the epitome of the perfect aunt. She lived next door with her boys so I was the apple of her eye. She is a nurse and is the reason I became a nurse. I love her completely.
After church, I bumped into Natalie in the grocery store and asked her if I could write about Aunt Nancy and the pink button today. Her response was sooooo 8. "yes, and about me too." she said.
Easy Peasy. Natalie is definition number one. Sweet, nice, playful, cute bubble gum, flowers, cotton candy. I hope she grows up to be just like Aunt Nancy - definition number two. Aunt Nancy is compassionate, nurturing, loving, intuitive and insightful. She has been a blessing in my life and I wish her a very happy 86th Birthday.
