If laughter is the best medicine
then a hot shower is the soothing balm
that you put on before the band aid
when you go out
and face the world.

there’s something out there
that makes the river cross the land
I feel it deep inside of me
I look to the mountains for you, my dear
you move so slowly in between

“I love how the threads of love notes on Tumblr lead us to the people whose hearts our words touch most.” ~ Janean, Turquoise Tangles
The truest sentence: December 6, 2011
Motherhood has more rewards than you can imagine and teaches you how much your heart can love…and then a little more.

because I do
I say, “I love you” with the clothes I clean
I say, “I love you” with the groceries I buy
I say, “I love you” with the food I prepare
I hear you say it too
when you say, “Thank you”
I say, “I love you” when you seem blue
I say, “I love you” before I leave the house
I murmur, “I love you” as we fall asleep at night
sometimes you say, “I love you too”
I hear you say it
in other ways
I probably say it too much
just know
I do

A poet never takes notes..you never take notes in a Love Affair.

Today is a mystery
Today is a mystery
sort of wide open
with things that need done
not sure I want to do any of them
so I will do some
one appointment I won’t miss
and no, it’s not the dentist
I hope it’s filled
with family and friends
with laughter,
smiles, hugs and grins
the tears need to stay at bay
I don’t have time
for you today
so far
so good

She is the calm and reasonable one.
Always there to comfort and help.
Never expecting anything back.
Not is she ever asking for help.
But she has this perverse need.
That she will be in your mind.
At all time alwyas and forever.
The one you think of with love.
She need to be needed and loved.
She not in a romantic way.
But just to take place in your heart.
And never leave is her need.

The simplicity in your writings is charming, i love “child of whimsy” it’s so beautiful and truthful. even thought and as far as i know motherhood isn’t easy, but you’ve reflected the beauty of it :).
Thank you for taking the time to send me this beautiful note. Such a nice surprise to wake up to this morning. I cherry picked some of my favorite moments of motherhood, and my own childhood, for “child of whimsy”. No need to talk about crying nights when sleep is a lost cause for both of us, and you’re praying for morning, when you can call the doctor to get a prescription to heal the ear infection your five month old baby has, for the Ella Bella challenge. I have two sons, ages 11 and 8. It was fun to imagine having a little girl, as I first wrote and then rewrote it with colored markers on colored paper. I have one niece. Her name is Emma. I may tweak it a bit as a gift for her. ~ Janean
Nothing
is giving up
before it’s over
I will never have nothing:
I have friends,
I have family,
I have life,
and as long as I live
I’ll be grateful
for this gift.
