“There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The day after, the day of love
and how is it
you feel
I am feeling particularly
wonderful
‘I Love you’ scribbled on a discarded envelope
a tiny box containing two delicious truffles
slides across the table
he grabs a towel
and comes to dry a few dishes
the last bit of the hockey game
together
a late game, very tired head
resting on his shoulder
enough
a tiresome odd kind of day
at work
frustrations mount
worries for a friend
who is hurting
love for a niece who is
struggling
a valentine received
of the ‘secret admirer’ kind
makes one smile
from the toes
up
never underestimate the power
of kindness
today, cold breeze blows
puddles, snow and ice
sunshine streams
Green Day in the kitchen
friend in need
questions prevail
straighten a bow tie
stops time in
kisses…
and when he goes
it’s tea
and the sinking in
to a
new book
gifted
to
myself
absorbing love
receiving joy
and sending you
something
just as simple
as
this ♥
