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.

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.
❤️
