Gift of Self-Discovery

Gordon was my age, lived next door, and during elementary school was probably my best friend.  Our yards backed up against an open sewage ditch that remained a drainage ditch after they laid in a sewer system.  Playing in our ditch, we learned about Louisiana snakes, lizards, salamanders, exotic insects and plants.  Life was an adventure that I shared with Gordon as I learned about myself.  It is through the giving of ourselves, the relationships we form with others that we discover who we are and who we can become.  Thank the Gordon’s in your life today for the gift of self-discovery.
