“I’m Here Friends!”

“I’m Here Friends!”

August 13, 2016

Those three simple words have melted my heart& every time I think about them I get all mushy mushy inside. I’m. Here. Friends. Grandson made this announcement as he and his daddy walked into daycare recently.Happy.He was that happy.Granted, his moment of bliss evaporated when it came time to part with Father but, hey, he’s …

Hi

What an incredibly simple word. Hi You say it to me.I say it to you. Hi Strangers become acquaintances.Relationships begin.Moods can be changed. Help often offered.Lives sometimes transformed.All this& the possibility of so much more from one, effortless syllable. Hi Such a wonderfully powerful vocalization. Hi.

I don’t mind a whole lot of things. Changing a baby’s extra poopie diaper.The pinch of a needle or the sight of my blood as I’m donating.Staying up all night with a vomiting child. Bandaging up a sliced finger or skinned knee. Simple, everyday grossness that probably should turn on my squeamish button, usually doesn’t …

It’s Day 6 and I have to admit, I am struggling.I’m struggling BAD. You were attached to my hip 24 / 7, Fitbit.Every hour of the day, every day of the week for a solid year and a half.The only time we parted ways was when I took a shower.That’s it& even then I’d be …

“They” are back. Talking their ugly talk, spitting their hateful hate. againandagainandagainandagain Reminding, poking, advising, SHOUTING  that yes indeed, we are divided. Very, VERY divided. “They” continually feel the need to inform, I need to be afraid. Of you, of her, of the man down the street, the gal on the bus. Of LIFE. Oh, …
