make your mark...

I'm of the opinion that what you use as a book mark says a lot about the kind of person you are.

What does it say?  I have no idea... I'm just saying it says something, not that I speak the language.

Some people use receipts, a tissue, a ribbon.  Some use an actual bookmark they got for free at the library or bookstore.  Some people buy bookmarks that strike their fancy, or are given bookmarks as a gift.

I don't use any of those things.

I never thought about it until last night as I smoothed my "bookmark" down on the page I would start next time and smiled at something that was written on it.

I wondered what the person who had sent it to me used to mark her place in a book.  I wondered what my other friends used...

I smiled and looked at it again then closed the book.

My bookmark is a scrap of crumpled white printer paper that was once in the hands of a dear friend halfway across the world.  Hurriedly in thick black ink she wrote 4 words:

I truly believe no one has a better book mark than I do.
