leaving trails...

...behind

when you're gone -

when you're here, too...

i was just thinking - as i saw this plane vapor trail in the sky today - about legacies - the mark we leave as we walk the planet... in deed - in effort - in striving to do and be the best we can be... does it make a difference - will it be remembered - how do we want to impact the world... who do we want to impress with our lives - how we live... how we move forth every day...

what if one has no children - is there then no legacy to leave? no footprint left behind? will i be remembered for the efforts of my life - if there's no one to carry on once i'm gone... who will remember me? i don't mean to be morose - these were simply thoughts as i watched the contrail dissipate through the air... i want to be remembered - i long to be known as a kind, caring, compassionate human being - who had love for others - attempted to bring simple joy into the path of those lives i crossed... i pray i am successful - but my child is my little princess diva - a kitty who adores me, i'm sure - but to leave a legacy to her is humorous, right? although i think there are some eccentrics who do that with their pets - i haven't gotten there yet...

soooo - food for thought... another interesting pondering brought forth by a mere glance outside - into the sky... nature's constant surprise - keeping me on my toes - never a dull moment - making for...

a

happy day.....
