Tis my real estate now. By Suzy Theme
Where Did My Plum Fish Come From?
Hello, Themers. My plum fish began on a Sunday afternoon at Lake Lorraine, after a long day of swimming, diving, and floating on the big tubes. I swam close to shore and got my swimsuit cover-up on. Then something in the water caught my eye.
It was a fish, glimmering in the sunlight. I reached my right hand into the water, stretching for it. “Come here, little one,” I whispered. My left hand swirled the water, trying to guide it closer.
Did I Ever Catch That Fish?
The fish twisted and darted through the sunlight and ripples, teasing me, playful and quick. I held my breath and stretched, plunging my hands deeper into the lake. The sun sparkled on its scales, and the water spun around me. For a moment, it felt like the whole world was right there.
Whether I caught that fish or not, the moment lingered. It still does. Sundays were full of wonder and adventure, and that reach into the water holds all of it for me.
Why Is My Hand Reaching for a Fish on SuzyTheme.com?
That moment became my logo. It’s my hand and a fish, with SuzyTheme.com lettered beside them, framed in plum. Every time I see it, I’m back at the lake, reaching for something quick and shining.
Writing feels the same way to me. Every time I sit down to write, I’m reaching into the water for the right word, the right story, the right moment. Sometimes it slips away, and sometimes it comes right into my hand. Either way, the reach itself is the joy.
What Do Others See When They Look at My Plum Fish?
Some folks have had their fun with my plum fish. That’s all right with me. I know where it came from, and I know what it means.
I don’t mind one bit. Fish out of water, fish on a bicycle, gator in a lounge chair... you’ve spent a whole evening thinking about me. Now that’s my real estate. I spent mine writing. Now go get some clothes on, Emperor.
It is a beautiful day to love and write!
