Tides of Change

Good bye, 2017.

 When times are hard

you stop, think and realize 

that in spite of your pain, 

 the tides still roll in, 

 the tides still roll out.

There is no stopping, 

you have

no control.

The clocks still tick. 

You want to say “wait, stop”, 

But you can’t. 

We are bits of sand 

in the vast ocean of life.

The tides of life. 

The years roll quickly.

 I hope yours 

rolls quietly.

❤️

Happy New Year

Dad

A bitter cold December morning.

It’s as dark as dark can be.

The ground is icy cold and frozen.

It’s quiet and calm.

A candle flickers in the window.

No cake, no song, no celebration, 

except in my heart.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

I love and miss you.

Merry Christmas!

From my heart to yours.

Music at Christmas

One of my favorite pieces of the 

Christmas puzzle 

is the music.

The carols, although old and vintage,

still ring true to my heart.

“The Little Drummer Boy”

 is my all time favorite,

but,  I love so many others.

They’re stories of love and adoration

with added whimsy and delight.

Fun and joy.

It’s bonafide Christmas love.

All is calm,  All is bright.

Happy Winter weekend.

I hope yours is calm and bright.

With love and hugs.

❤️

Winter

A time for quiet.

A time for darkness.

A time to think.

A time to slow down.

A time for respect.

A time to see.

A time to listen.

A time to love.

A time for peace.

Happy Winter!

❤️

Time

When the world is bustling around you,

and you want it to stop,

and you raise your hand

and your voice,

and you take notice

of the hurry. 

Be still.

Be quiet.

Be mindful.

Be present.

Be you.

Mid December

There’s something about the quiet and calm 

of fresh falling snow.

Bothering no one,

minding her own business, 

Mother Nature delivers the most beautiful gifts.

And then, they’re gone.

Today was a gift to my Mom.

Many years ago.

Jimmy was born.

And then he too, was gone.

Treasure those you love,

and let them know.

Love is all you need.

❤️
