Started my day with toasted heels.
Does it sound more appetizing if I add, slathered in Nutella?
Coffee too.
Lotsa coffee.

morning
Blah
Blah
Up too early
No napping
Showered
No time for make up
No time for drying hair
Laughed taking my boys to school
Together laughs
Taking turns being funny laughs
The drive was too short this morning
I wanted to keep ‘em with me
Laughing
A bit longer
Now the car is silent
Missing them
And feeling blah
Blah
Blah
Blah
Will try to snap out of it
Soon
Until then
One more
Blah
dog’s been out
coffee’s on
still full dark out
barely five a.m.
the day has begun
must be Monday
or any other day
at my house
now for a smidge
of quiet time
before the rest
of my family
awakes
the chimes chime
the clock ticks
and my keys tap
good morning
as morning comes
I got my wish
for sunshine
and blue skies
so I’m sitting outside
on the patio
while the dog
lies in the grass
chewing on a stick
as for me
I’m soaking up sunshine
on this January morning
feeling thankful
and warmer
from the glorious sun
as morning comes
the sky brightens
it’s been a few days
since we’ve seen
a glow on the horizon
with a hint
of the morning sun
oh, how I hope
that today will be
a blue sky day
to feel the warmth
of the winter’s sun
on my face
and drink in the beauty
of varying shades of blue
across the heaven
perhaps with wisps
of white clouds
if we’re lucky
the day is filled
with promise
as morning comes
today’s the day
today’s the day I show my art
the pieces that have had my laser focus
for the past few days
I still can’t believe I said, “Yes” so fast
without anything ready to show
with a week’s notice
and other activities scheduled as well
amazingly it all came together
with my husband’s help
and encouragement
mostly he gave me the space
to create
and only called me stubborn once
I owned it and agreed
I kept saying, “This just feels
like too good
of an opportunity
to miss”
he understood
he did
and now
excited
scared
and nervous
sums up the jangle in my stomach
details to see to
things to do
one more piece of artwork
to finish and get framed
first thing this morning
because
today’s the day
YIKES!

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.

multi-color lights
I turned on the Christmas tree lights when I came down the stairs this morning.
I do love the glow of the tree from the corner of the living room when it’s still full dark outside.
A multi-color glow at that.
It helps some.
Glad for that.
