Anyone who’s cut, pasted,
draped and then skimmed out the air bubbles before stepping back to admire the
finished job knows what an effort it can be to accent with either strips or a
mural. Equally demanding is the removing
of wallpaper when either styles, furnishings or personal tastes change! Many
who have endured and succeeded will attest to it.
Computer-wrought documents
can be flavoured with wallpaper backgrounds for creating impact and personal
flair. Cell phone users also have choices of wallpapers which come into view
when the screen is activated. My first animated wallpaper choice was called
Beach…crystal clear water and stretches of sand, gentle animated waves rolling
in, shells, starfish and a red bucket and yellow sand scoop!
Yesterday I decided to change
the theme, and selected one where blades of grass wave gently under a daytime
or night sky. The technology is amazing; but this one came with an unexpected
wrench. Wanting to show my husband last evening, I was astonished to see the
sun setting noticeably in the background of this “Grass” scenery.
It didn’t feel pretty or
restful to me, just sad. My comments though, were enthusiastic. When bedtime
came and I turned off my phone, the setting had become deep night, with
twinkling stars and ghostly blades of grass.
Feeling certain that I am of
sound mind, and coincidentally possessing an abundance of common sense, didn’t
alleviate the niggling apprehension that family illness will transcend to
become a twinkling star too soon.
I immediately reverted to the
beach theme and sunnier thoughts when I decisively changed the wallpaper.
