Challenge for self: describe your life in a single sentence.
I would say my life started in an opera when I met my husband. The first thing he said to me was "Wow. Look at that huge pillar over there" as we were role playing for an opera scene. He remembers seeing me in my yellow dress, spotlight on, singing an opera duet. He knew he was supposed to marry me.
I remember the evening after we ate at Sammy's when he took me outside and into a small brick alleyway. He kissed me and gave me a small pearl necklace. It was a black pearl entwined in a metallic vine-like design. I wore it everywhere. It gave me confidence when I had to deal with difficult people at school, made me feel like a beautiful princess when I wore it on our wedding day, and gave me a constant reminder that he is always my soul mate.
Maybe it sounds like a cheesy story if I leave out all of the difficult evenings, family interference, and separation. But to me, it would sum up my life, the real beginning of my life, to remember an opera and the pearl necklace I wore.
And did I mention chocolate? I love chocolate.
Opera, chocolates and a small pearl necklace. Those are the pieces that make up my beautiful life. At least they do so far :).
