All I Know Is That I Can Do This

Cufflinks o’ the Day can’t take their eyes off Bow Tie o’ the Day and Shirt o’ the Day. I think Cufflinks have a crush on the other two attire stars here. I was pleased I managed to introduce our Halloween black and orange to the Breast Cancer Awareness Month pink. I knew they would all hit it off.

I have never tried to be a matchmaker of people. And with clothing, I purposely strive to NOT match as many articles of any outfit as I can. That’s my style. Neither do I claim to be clairvoyant, but I do have an uncanny “gift” for knowing people. Specifically, I am almost perfectly accurate about couples who marry or live together. I can “see” which couples will stay together for the long haul. And I can “see” which couples do not have a chance in hell or heaven to stay coupled. I can “see” more about it than other people can.

I would never say anything to any couple whose future I “see.” I could be wrong about what comes to me, although I’ve mostly been right. And I don’t want to risk jinxing a relationship. I’ve had the same mostly accurate “sight” in AA rooms: I have a mostly accurate inkling of who’s gonna make it to sobriety and who isn’t.

I don’t try to “see” these things. They just occur to me. And I don’t treat people any differently than I would if I hadn’t glimpsed this stuff. In fact, this “gift” is something I would really rather not have. And I wonder this: Why do I have this ability? I believe gifts and talents have some kind of purpose. I believe they should be used for good purposes. But I can’t imagine what positive purpose my “seeing” stuff like this has. The only thing my “seeing” is to me is a bigly weight I carry. I carry the “gift” itself and the question of what I’m supposed to do with it. I have a hard time thinking it’s somehow just for me to know something about these things. I’m stumped. 🔮 👳‍♀️

Families Are Forever

Tie o’ Yesteryear joined in for a family picture. Guess which one I am. I believe I am the one with the hat, shades, and tie. It’s difficult to tell who is who in my family because, for some inexplicable reason, we all look alike. 😉

I’m pretty sure we were at a wedding when this photo was snapped because I am wearing my couple-kissing-passionately tie, which I do generally wear to weddings. I’m sad you can’t see it better. Maybe another time.

The point I hope to get across to you by presenting this pic is this: I love my loving family and the love we have for each loving other, and the love we love giving to each loving other. Even the loving words “love” and “loving” don’t begin to express the loving love we love each other with. Did I emphasize the words “love” and “loving” enough for you to get at least a hint of the love I love that we have towards each loving one of us? Love R Us. 💙 ❤️ 💜 💛
