The prickly pod of the Sweet Gum tree, you either love them or hate them.  I love them.  It reminds me of important people in my life.  When I see a 'gumball' I can picture my husband and sons on our front lawn with a chipping wedge, chipping them into the street.  I think of my golden lab who thinks they're crunchy dog treats.  I think of a remarkable Sweet Gum tree in Arkansas that thrived against all odds, and a friend with a similar story.   For me, this little pod symbolizes life and growth.
