FIRST GOLD

  • Mood:
  • Finding Gold
Can you recall your first Gold? Well, I sure can. I see it in my friends' eyes and face every time they see theirs. Just that little flake or small nugget can turn a crappy day into a beautiful day full of  sunshine and excitement. Nature took millions of years in the making, carving, moving and depositing that glowing piece of metal in such a vast part of earth just so you can discover it. Your first gold will always have a a certain comment attached to it. My comment was "OMG, it's a monster!" Scotsman's was "Ya gotta see this, Greg!" and Scotwoman's was "YAAAAHOOOO". But just recently I was introduced to another saying by my friend Gold Digger and that was----you ready?----"Ohhhhh, it's so cute!".. Hummm, I guess to each his/her own when the mood strikes you. I've posted the picture below just to point out the physical signs to look for. Notice the posture is stiff with excitement. Then there is the pointing of the finger (just in case nobody can see it). Then of course the ever present eyes laughing, teeth showing, and face-cracking smile. This effect is present in all of us, big or small, young or old, rich or poor. So get used to it, because you will remember it for the rest of your life.

May your Gold glow like a summer sunset.
