I’m listening to the wind
It’s got a lot to say
woke up at 4:00
I’m still tucked in
purring cat atop me
don’t want to move
time to Go and Do
but I lollygagged
stayed tucked in
now the wind is quieter
gusting gales replaced
by the quietest whisper
of a sound
February 11, 2013, 5:16a.m.
it’s raining
which soothes
and works for me
just does
gray, weepy and moody
but cleansing, purifying
and nurturing too
I’m glad it’s raining
water soothes
and heals

I had A Pajama Day today.
Pretty can wait until tomorrow.
Today was about comfort and sinking into HOME.

My doorbell just rang. When I answered the front door, there was the cutest little Girl Scout standing on my front porch, alongside her smiling mother. The littlest Girl Scout, with a pixie smile, was dressed all in purple, topped off with her vest adorned with patches earned. Of course I bought one more box of thin mints, because I had exactly $4 cash, and they are my very favorite kind.

At 10:30 a.m. this morning my youngest son and I indulged in ice cream. Don’t judge. The M&M bowl was for him. I’m in full on Mom Mode today. First, I ate the two unwanted heels of bread toasted, with my over easy egg. THEN, I scooped strawberry ice cream into my bowl, after carefully just dishing chocolate and vanilla for my sweet boy. Doggone neapolitan. The ice cream aisle was sorta bare that day…

This is where I come from.
Sparkly hearts that say, “LOVE” on my parents front door.
They will celebrate 45 years of marriage on February 17, 2013.
Not every year was easy.
The hard ones thankfully few.
Mom told me once, “You don’t divide the love, you multiply it.”
Love Math is her Greatest Gift.
My dad loves GREAT BIG too.
I am theirs.
Forever and always.
This is where I come from.
From my parents abiding love.

This Disney animated short played in theaters before Wreck It Ralph.
It’s wonderful. Enjoy!
Oh. I’m so glad to see this animated short again, for THIS was my favorite part of the whole “Wreck It Ralph” movie! *happy dance* ~ Janean
The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.
Virginia Woolf, A Haunted House, And Other Short Stories (via violentwavesofemotion)
Sighing melancholy sighs at reading this brief quote with many of my favorite things: a river, a weeping willow, joy and moonlight. Oh, sorrow. Yes. Woven amidst the rest, I know you too, but joy ultimately wins. ~Janean

Hello, Blue Sky
Good to see ya!
It’s been a few days…
Caught ya on camera
Before you disappear again
Even with cold temperatures
Blue sky and sunshine
Just helps
