OLive OLove

We were recently in Gloucester, walking along Good Harbor Beach.  This lovely lady approached us and started talking about what a wonderful day it was, so blue, so perfect!  She told us it was her 89th birthday that very morning, and that we had so much to look forward to in life.  "Always be open to whatever comes your way," she said with a smile. "This is how I sign my name," she said suddenly.  She drew an O with the word "live" in the middle.  "But when I was 60, I signed it this way."  Chuckling to herself, she wrote "love" inside of the O.

Here's to you, Olive/Olove--may you have many more birthdays and walks on the beach!  Thank you for making our morning extra special!
