laundry and dishes

It’s a catching up on laundry and dishes kind of day here. With a smile, as I think of the fun I had this week galavanting with friends to celebrate my birthday, all week long. Plus, I know there is chocolate cake for later…with vanilla ice cream even. Mmmmmmm. ~ Janean

Sounds marvelous! Especially since I can make pancakes now, without burning them, ever since I bought a griddle at my sister’s suggestion. I even have some real maple sirup (spelled with an ‘i’ on purpose) from Funk’s Grove in central Illinois to top ‘em with. ~ Longing For A Day Just Like This One

artreture:

I don’t want us to be a silhouette,
I want us to be the light.
I don’t want to be a story unwritten,
I want us to be the song everybody sings.
I don’t want to simply go with it,
I want to make it happen.
I don’t want a faity tale,
I want… to dream with my eyes open.

the gift

my gift came quietly

in the glow of morning light

as a huge pink cloud

hovered and glowed from within

outside my kitchen window

suspended in a sea of blue

just waiting

for me to notice

the best gift ever

one that renews

with each new day

we’re given

the gift

of sunrise

Thank you, God

for today

Written on December 1, 2011, my fortieth birthday.
