olives...


(Update: Let's just say olives are a symbol of apologies and forgiveness leading to new life.)

Part of my story can be summed up with a jar of olives.
No, I am not a fan of the olive...
do not like them...
but -

it was the olive that started the conversation....
and it is the olive that continues to be
a symbol of,
for me
atleast,
assurance, joy and hope.

There's a jar of olives in our house...
telling our story,
then,
now and
tomorrow.

I don't share a valentine heart today....
I instead offer an olive.
Happy Olive Day!

Love the painting. Is it a LP original?

Will you someday give the background to Olive Day? Inquiring minds want to know!
