Outside Looking In

Outside Looking In

We’ve repeated these words time after time again. Her to me, me to her. Just wait, we encourage, things will become clear once you’ve stepped out and away & after being caught within the whirly twirly complicated-ness of what life sometimes tosses our way, we know it’s true.  It’s difficult to see, to reason, to …

THANK. YOU.

THANK. YOU.

There they be, hunkered every so cozily in my mind, thought about often and treasured beyond words. Appearing out of nowhere when we needed them most, unassumingly, they became our carriers of bright. Stopping their busy days to visit, to check in, to drop by ’cause I happened to be in the neighborhood. Our questions …

Super

But, then again, it always is, isn’t it ? This one is called the Full Flower Moon and the people who know these things say 5:45 a.m. CST is when she officially arrives, so YaY. I’m awake. I’ll notice. ! ♥ ! I tried to take a picture but, as with every Full Moon I’ve …

Repeated with love on this National Day of Appreciation. ♥ They call it the DAISY Award and the nominating forms are found throughout these halls & it’s quite a lovely way to honor and celebrate the skillful, compassionate care nurses provide every day.

Wine Days

Wine Days

We called them our wine days and that sounds like a !! woohoo !! we’re going on a bender !! type of deal, but in reality it’s crackers, cheese, a glass or two and quiet conversation. And it seems like a zillion years ago, but somewhere down the line, life interrupted our unassuming glee. boo …

Subtle Brilliance

Subtle Brilliance

A walk in the park and a socially distanced, backyard visit with Dad and Big Bro pretty much sums up my yesterday. But in between those two extremely lovely entries in my Every Day Happy Book I found this & this & this, this, this and this With an invisible pull and a quiet beckon, …

She’s A Magnet

She’s A Magnet

She fell in September of 2019 and although we have talked about the what’s and how’s and when’s, there she patiently waits, my big, bald, broken friend & he thinks I’m mistaken and a little bit crazy but, I’m determined to stand firm with my she deserves a proper sendoff  declaration.
