Velvet Verbosity is headed back from a much deserved vacation but she left us with the challenge prompt of “myself”.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hours ago I had rescued a box from the chaos of a storage closet and upended its contents onto the floor. Hours ago I began the task of turning disorder into some semblance of logical arrangement. Now as I straightened with a groan, I surveyed my work happily. Friends, family, twenty years of smiles and laughter of varying degrees were displayed before me. Sure there were tears between these photos. Of course there were angry words and slammed doors and drama enough for Broadway. But in essence the moments spread in colorful array represented everything that molded me into myself.
