It occurs to me that writing is a very solitary activity, but the things that we surround ourselves with remind us of the people in our lives, and that we belong to a community. And that's a nice thought. :-) Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-30077749640651578232016-05-12T15:55:21.301+10:002016-05-12T15:55:21.301+10:00I have a collection also, Michelle, and many are g...I have a collection also, Michelle, and many are gifts from special friends which remind me of them...and what a gift my life is. There is a heart made by a favourite niece many years ago and I have a collection of smooth, shiny stones which, like Annie's hippo, are perfect for holding and stroking while thinking about the next words. I have a snow globe with pictures of some special writing mates and that makes me smile. And a good-luck elephant and a ballerina and a wind-up punk mole which dances while singing Pink's "Get The Party Started."Bronwyn Jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720477786460767921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-44675090118915136872016-05-12T08:44:11.884+10:002016-05-12T08:44:11.884+10:00Love my good luck piggy, Annie. :-) And I love the...Love my good luck piggy, Annie. :-) And I love the sound of your smooth, round, PINK hippo! I subscribe to the theory of whatever helps get the words written -- and it seems that pigs and hippos have a proven track record. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-64872414043135631282016-05-11T17:30:40.878+10:002016-05-11T17:30:40.878+10:00Hi Michelle!

Fascinating to see the notes other writers post for themselves and their trinkets. <br /><br />Hey, I'm so chuffed my little good luck new year piggy keeps you company as you write. I've got a tiny menagerie myself on top of my hard drive. But the one that gets the most attention is a very cute, very round pink hippo who's smooth and cool to the touch and just perfect for stroking while I think!Annie Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804740491737358014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-31617678673812580942016-05-11T15:48:52.362+10:002016-05-11T15:48:52.362+10:00Oh, Helen, you just took me back!

What an odd thing to have made...which, of course, makes it the perfect keepsake. :-) <br /><br />I love your story about your dad and his lucky stones. What a lovely thing that you and your siblings split them all up among you. I think that's a great way to be remembered. :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-74673524167158597582016-05-11T12:57:37.353+10:002016-05-11T12:57:37.353+10:00Hi Michelle
