Happy Birthday, happy day

I spent the day with my family today. A good day for divine relationship.
It was my middle sister's birthday, so my mom, both my sisters and I went out for lunch (we were accompanied by my nephew, but at 13 days he had little to add to the conversation).
It was a good day to reflect on family, especially where we were. We went to a potter's workshop that we have frequented for years. It has become a tradition when you get married, you get pieces of this pottery (this includes my cousins). One of the sources of inspiration for this potter are pieces of pottery that were made by my great-great grandfather. The potter knows of our family connection to the pieces. Over the years, my sister has become better acquainted with this potter, and when he saw her, he let her know that he had just gotten 2 new pieces of g-g-grandpa's pottery, and brought them out to show. On the bottom of one of the pieces, g-g-grandpa had wiped the glaze away, leaving his fingerprints. We were able to get a picture of my nephew's tiny newborn hand touching the finger prints of his great-great-great-grandfather. A 6 generation span actually touching, in a manner of speaking.

So a lovely day spent visiting, with a opportunity to reflecton on generations past, present and future.

Happy Birthday, B.
