The Handwriting on the Wall

When we use the expression, "I can see the handwriting on the wall", it usually means something bad. It means that we can foresee the future and it may not be good. My son sent me a picture the other day that puts a positive spin on that expression. It was a photo of my granddaughter with a box of crayons, scribbling on their kitchen wall. The kitchen is gutted out and the cabinets will be replaced this week. On the wall space that the cabinets will cover, she has drawn pictures. They signed her name on them. They will be tucked away, hiding for many years to come. They will be our little secret. In 40 years, when the kitchen is remodeled again, the artwork of a 21 month old little girl will be revealed.
