I wonder, you know
how often it is
you
will check in with love
today thinking about
my Uncle John
who has been gone a whole year
yet how much I always feel the presence of both he
and my Aunt Pat
still
in guidance and in
caring
today, celebrating a dear friend’s birthday
and also
my sweet boy Ted
turns 12 (we’re not talking about it)
today, I sat with my feet up
and started reading
a new book
one of life’s great adventures
and one of my
simple
pleasures
today I am brought to tears
through intentional acts
of
kindness
and expanded through
listening
closely
today I am watching from the window
the softest snow fall
and slowly pile up
on the trees
in such a way as to make
everything beautiful
and
love
worth noticing ♥
