Musings on a Lifetime

By Kathleen E McCormick

I ONCE WENT TO A PALMIST TO HAVE MY PALMS READ. To my surprise, she said: "Your hands show two very different lives " She explained that one hand represented my life as it was supposed to be, and the other as it would turn out. The palmist predicted that I would live a long life and would have a strong, positive character.

As fate had it, one hand showed my life as it would have been if I had emigrated to America in 1901, and had grown up with my family on a Montana farm; the other hand showed great sacrifice and a stricter up-bringing - like my childhood with my grandparents in turn-of-the-century Ireland.

Separated from my family at two years old, I was grateful to be reunited with them over 50 years later.

When we reach a certain age, and have time to sit and dream, our thoughts slip back to times long ago and events - trivial at the time, but in childhood of great importance, and so they remain as musings on a lifetime....
