I am inspired to write in this journal. I have time on my hands so here I go...

Today, as I was making salad, I picked up an apple that had a little leaf attached to the stem. I was stunned!!! Could this be? Finally an apple the way it is drawn in children's story books! I always drew my apples with leafs on the stem as a kid, but I don't ever remember seeing one. The stems were always leafless. Well, there was the time we went apple picking, but those apples don't count. I'm talking about store bought apples.
Oh well, I had to throw that stem and leaf away so I could chop up the apple for my salad. But it was a very thought-provoking incident. It reminded me of the way I used to see the world as a kid. All pretty and perfect. So much hope. I'm still hopeful, but a little cynical too. The apple made me realize that I should never give up...

There you have it, my philosophy for the day. How profound... rolleyes
