Why Green String?

Why Green String?

Good question, why indeed. As you will know if you have been following this blog I had written an Inspirational Poem and was at a quandary as to what title to give it. Up to know I was using a very long title and it just didn't fit the poem. I was after something catchy and memorable!

As I sat in my clinic trying this and that, my son decided to ask for my opinion on a fancy dress costume that he was making for an upcoming party. The theme was a jungle theme and he had spent considerable time looking for the perfect outfit. Unable to find what he was after, as he was leaving the last shop he spied some artificial fern leaves and figured that they would make a perfect costume. He also found a ball of string with which to tie them on. He was delighted!

Now as his Mother, I felt it was my duty to tell him he could not just wear fern leaves in public without suitable clothes under them. I should have saved my breath, as he assured me it was a private party and he felt they were just the thing and he would lose the effect if he had to wear other clothes as well!

Great here we were in the middle of a financial meltdown and my son was about to be arrested for indecent exposure. Just what I needed to take my mind off things...NOT! I went on to say that he would have trouble keeping them in place, when he produced his unique idea...a ball of string. He was quite convinced that this string would keep the fern leaves in place and all would be good..trust me he said I know what I am doing. Oh Boy!

As he turned to leave the room, I suddenly realized that the coloured string was just what I had been looking for......a simple, catchy and perfect name for my poem....Green String! He was more than happy to let me cut off a length of the string and we parted, each to work on our own master pieces. I still thought he was mad, and was sure to be arrested, however I deep down believed he would not actually do it. I mean imagine how prickly it would be and the thought of sitting down...well the mind boggled!

However I had more important things to do....the name was absolutely perfect....and to have an actual piece of string to go with it....wonderful! To get with the vibrational energy I attached a piece of the string to one of my magical $1m notes and placed it on our fridge. As each family member came home I told them all about the name and how soon our challenges would be over:)

All I had to do now was to work out how to tell people about the poem, how to sell them the poem, how did they pay me for the poem, how did I get the poem to them and most importantly what format was the poem going to be in? I definitely required some help and guidance, a chance email very quickly got my attention.........

Oh and do you think my son wore his fern leaves?...I will let you know tomorrow:)
