Thursday afternoon
I have a big sweet puppy dog as a foot warmer.
We just came in from a thirty minute walk on a gray, rain spittin’ day.
There is another hour before it’s time to pick up the children from school.
I may rest my eyes for just a bit…
Or write, while the puppy is still, and my house is too…
Quiet, except for the ticking if the clock and tapping of the keys.
I am thankful...

brrrrrrrr
I can’t get warm
from the outside in
which isn’t like me
to feel shivery
and chilled
from every little draft
brrrrrrr
I’m not eatin’ ice cream
or drinkin’ an icee
I’m not wearin’ shorts
or goin’ barefoot
brrrrrrr
I’m just cold
even my nose
like that sweet pup
the one I’ve been
takin’ in and out all day
in gray...

when the words do not flow
and the story just doesn’t grow
sometimes you have to take a step back
to find the inspiration you lack
stop writing and smell the roses
all the beauty at the tips of our noses
take a good look around
at all the poetry to be found
the flowers and fields and the…
This seems to be the place I’m in right now. The soaking...

your strength must be strong enough
to hold me up so i don’t fall
because even though i may resemble strong
i am weaker than i let on
what it boils down to is

I am not a size 2, blonde hair, eyes of blue, fair skin, always find jeans to fit in, Cosmo, Vogue, Glamour, Barbie beauty. No, I am curvy like quiet trips up winding paths to mountain getaways. And thick, yes, my thighs are thick and my breasts are full and I am soft. My brown skin whispers messages wrapped in chocolate to your psyche, I am soothing, sultry,...

if it wasn't for that puppy
if it wasn’t for that puppy
I wouldn’t have been outside tonight
to see the glint of the moonlit snow
and Orion’s Belt against a full black sky
if it wasn’t for that puppy
I wouldn’t know the quiet stillness
of a winter’s morning
occasionally broken by a crow’s caw
if it wasn’t for that puppy
I wouldn’t have met Jasper, Captain...

puppy love
Sometimes Hope comes wrapped in tan and black fur, with floppy ears, a big lolling tongue, a long wagging tail and the name, Blue.
We bought our first dog yesterday.
A 14 week old German Shepherd puppy.
My husband has wanted a German Shepherd since before we were married.
That’s been over 14 1/2 years ago now.
We needed something happy and hopeful.
A dog is both.
He helps us...

2012 resolutions
Live every minute, But watch for the moment, The oft overlooked and insignificant moment, when God whispers.
The still, soft voice, When you least expect it, Telling you He has not forgotten, And is still very much by your side.
Live every minute, with no thought for the…
I love this poem and the man who wrote it. He is still surprising me,...

sometimes the happy shows
there are days you awake
with a sense of anticipation
today is one of those days
for me
my friends are coming over to play
we’re calling it A Planning Meeting
but under that Official Sounding Moniker
it’s a play date
for the women we are
artists and writers too
we’re having lunch
the four of us
fancy chicken salad and a veggie tray
with cookies and cake for dessert

would have been
today would have been
my grandmother’s 96th birthday
she died on May 1, 2006
each year since her passing
I think of her on her birthday
January 4 shall always be
her birth day
she was a fascinating woman
a marvelous grandmother
an adventurer at heart
brave in big ways
and small ones
with hazel eyes
that twinkled when she grinned
and narrowed in inquisition
often a playful wink...
A Clarity of Conscious: Let my smile pass... →

Let my smile pass
Let my smile pass for courage, When it’s in short supply, To give you strength and comfort, For fallen tears to dry.
Let my smile pass for happiness, ‘Cause it’s easier to cry, When fate is up against you, And your whole life’s gone awry.
Let my smile pass for empathy, …
Letting Go
Inhale…exhale
Breathe in…breathe out
Forgive forget…move on
