Dear Secret Santa
Your generosity warms our hearts, your kindness tickles our souls, but what really, truly sets your gift into a vibe of it’s own, dear Santa, is the just because, here ya go all wrapped up with it too. Husband and I have been wondering and hmmm-ing for a few days now, who could you be …
Merry. Bright. Happy. Blessed.
Tracks in the snow with giggles of glee. And as I glanced out the back door, my heart melted with memories. Neighborhood kids, enjoying the minutes before sunset, delighting in fun, frolic … & oooooh, to be a child again. Innocent and unconcerned. Hi. I’m Me. Hi. You’re You. Let’s be friends ! Offering love …
Mistletoe-d
Written a few years ago, repeated, for those who need a hug of hope today. Enjoy. ♥ This is our thirteenth Christmas, Dad acknowledged, as we pulled into the cemetery. Yep, I sighed, to no one in particular & there, in the back seat, sat Big Bro, stoic, soldier-like, poker faced, Big Bro. Unsealing that barrier …
Mrs. Z
It arrives a day or two before Christmas, for as long as I can remember. Addressed to both, Daughters’ 2nd grade teacher, yep, you heard me right, their 2nd GRADE TEACHER, fills her holiday card with family news, and genuinely wonders about the lives of these girls she knew, way back when.

But when big stuff happens, especially not so wonderful big stuff, I tend to push aside those happy-s . So today, I’m thinking about yesterday and my …
Way :) Over
I’m waaaaay over happy, I heard him exclaim. And, truth be told, I’m not quite sure the origin of his glee as I was here, he and his big bro over there, talking, giggling, taking a video game break after a busy, busy day. But here we are, a few 24s later, with those delightful …
Remembering You

Hey, Buffalo
I think I’ve made it pretty, darn clear, I’m a fan, Hello Winter but since we’re an entire month and two days away from Winter’s official entrance, and since I ain’t EVER experienced the enormity of what’s happening in your corner of this world, today’s rerun is for you, Buffalo, ’cause YOU, my friend, are …
