Sign Language

I've often stumbled through life looking everywhere for signs. Literally and, probably more often, figuratively I'm constantly searching for definite signs to provide a definite message.

Today, though, I realize that some of those literal signs are just as powerful as the figurative ones I'm seeking.

Remember back when I was quitting teaching, and I got annoyed that I wasn't able to take my welcome-to-my-classroom sign down? Well, once again I'm realizing how final the taking down and putting up of signs are. Today, Devante (my truck, in case you were unaware), began sporting two new "For Sale" signs. Although I'd posted ads online and in my office before today, this just seems so much more final. And for every moment I'm in my dearly beloved truck, I'll be constantly reminded of the fact that he's no longer mine. I know it's silly and that I really shouldn't be this attached to a vehicle, but I can't help but feel a bit sad and helpless.

I just hope he goes to a good home.
