Named after me

Today I am asked if I could have something named after me, what would it be?

People like having things named after them for some reason. I think it makes them feel like they are immortalized somehow, just by having a street or building named after them. I actually don’t buy into that idea. Roads and buildings are not eternal either, nothing in this world is. I also don’t really know those people. They might actually be terrible individuals and unworthy of remembering.

I also question what they really had to do with the thing that carries their name anyway. Did they build it themselves? This blog carries my name, and I wrote every line you read. That doesn’t seem so bad to me. If you breathed life into it yourself, then it makes since that it carries your name. It came from your soul. It is a part of you that you shared with others. I guess that’s what I would want to be named after me. The things that came from my soul. Anything else would just bragging about my good fortune.

What would you like to have named after you? Do you currently have something named after you? Are there other ways of being immortalized? Is there something you see every day that bears someone’s name? Do you put your heart and soul into anything? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!

Finders keepers.

When I was growing up, the kids I knew always had this saying they said when they found something valuable enough to keep. The prompt for today brings that childhood saying back to mind. The saying was “finders keepers, losers weepers.” It basically meant that if you lost it, that’s too bad for you, because it’s now fair game for the finder to claim as their own. The lost property was usually just a coin or dollar that fell out of someone’s pocket by accident. The saying wasn’t applicable in cases where the owner could easily be identified obviously, but a finder’s reward was always appreciated.

The only thing I picked up recently that comes to mind was when the broken lock fell out of the sky at my feet, which I posted about earlier. I didn’t keep it though. Before I put everything together, I wasn’t sure if it was something I should actually keep. I try to distance myself from anything supernatural, unless I feel confident that has a good origin.

Have you found anything lately? Has anyone ever returned a lost item to you? Have you ever heard this saying? Do you remember how exciting it was to find things as a kid? Let us know your experience in the comments, and don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe.
