I am royalty. My two glorious children are diamonds on my fingers. My wife is a fabulous opal. That's three fingers for a happy family, seven for the rest, for life achievements. My library is an ascending gold ring, a new layer for each year of more enriching novels, interesting nonfiction and textbooks for edification. I am FunTrivia royalty, a sovereign silver "T" for having ventured through all the trivia categories, building a factual temple that is strong like a fortress, discovering countless new facts between the cracks of my books. All the miles my feet have pounded the ground are an earthy emerald, on pace to outdistance the length of the equator. That's six fingers covered, four for the rest. My career is a bluesy sapphire, difficult to endure at times but worth every penny, affording great strides through numerical efficiency. A ruby glows from my college degree, my whole academic career, even the parts left unfinished, filled with high marks and praise. Amethyst shards reach skyward where my travels and photos erect an album that is beyond beautiful. Finally, the 10th finger holds a modest pearl for my written collection, that if not is the highest quality at least is prolific.
These are my jewels of creation and achievement. The highest order given by God for what He gave me. I hope that I am making Him proud for realizing His potential in all that I do. To balance the elements without from within, by softening time with the gift of technology. People couldn't do what I do a hundred years ago. What a time to be alive, after the horror and before the crash. Give me another 30, 40, 50 years. I will put ten more on my toes.
