anyone have any little things they do that they generally don't tell everyone? i don't mean anything embarrassing or illegal,,,just things you do that you don't generally talk about?
there's one thing i do that i'll share. when i go to water the plants of my loved ones at cemeteries, if there's no one else around, i'll spend time watering every plant between the one i'm there for, and the water pump. i generally only do that at the local cemetery, there are two others i visit, but i only water my own plants there. but,,,,i also am the girl that leaves things at cemeteries,,i don't even need to know the person:-) a few years ago, shortly after someone i knew OF died, i left a fishing lure on the grave. at a different cemetery, i noticed that someone had clipped a $1 instant ticket to something at a grave. this intrigued me,,i figured that person must have really enjoyed playing the lottery,,,so i started leaving $1 bills clipped under the ticket...hoping that they would perhaps buy a ticket or two with the cash i had left. i don't know what they ever did with the money, i probably left a total of maybe $12...they stopped leaving the tickets, so i stopped leaving money.
it's fascinating, and oftentimes sad, to see what kinds of things people leave at cemeteries for their loved ones.
does this all sound weird to you? hahaha,,that's why i'm calling it a quirk, or eccentricity:-)
why do i do it? i don't know. maybe it helps soothe my feelings of uneasiness at death. maybe it just makes me feel like i'm doing something to honor a life,,,,i don't know. do any of you know why you do the little quirky things you do?
share.
