Pete

the huff and puff of little white feet
in the middle of the road
steal my heart on this cloudy sunday morning
i followed you up a tall flight of stairs
you had no where to escape
save in my arms
the rain is falling and it's chill is too much
for your small body
and katie loves you instantly
and anthony thinks you're neat
marlena acts like it doesn't matter
as she cradles you in her arms
two weeks later
in the arms of a rescuer
my heart is aching to see your smiling face again
perhaps in the next life or at the crossing over
we called you Pete,and I still have pictures
you stole my heart that day in august

icy storm

This photo is called 'the path I choose'
it seems to fit
today they are calling for ice
and rain and snow or all three or none
is that like bipolar disease?
you never know whats coming on any given day
highs and lows are part of life
and this addict wants the highest of highs
NOW
actually I am enjoying the peacefulness
of snowfall and the single life
although I'm as busy as I ever was
is that my form of escape or hiding?
I am in transition now - the excavation has begun
and however slow it seems to process
the pattern is changing
and my life has taken on a different note
and I am happy
and those around me celebrate my smiles
and they reflect this new found joy!

All aboard for the next phase??

Valentine's Day!

I love the color of Valentine's Day
Smiles bright white
deep reds and bright oranges
and chocolate brown on everyone!

Valentine's Day is the color of love,
the day is yellow sunshine and white clouds
blue skies and pink hugs
little hearts in all we see and do!

Today is a happy day and I celebrate my single state
with cards and candy to the kids in my home
and little red and silver candies for all those
passing by my cubicle.

Happy Valentine's Day to you,
and if you're alone, celebrate yourself.
You deserve it.
I know I do.

Thank you Great Spirit!

Okay so maybe I lied...

I'm
deliriously
happy
today...
and
this
pic
is
old!

I used to like Fridays

used to be days like this i was excited about the end of the day
like the last day of school every week
then life showed up and commitments and promises
and life got busy and fridays just indicate another busy weekend
instead of the relief that comes after a long hard work week

do i sound ungrateful i'm not
maybe i'm just whining because i need another vacation
oh wait a minute did i have one this year
i'm definitely whining
the wellness studio opens tomorrow with a party

it denotes the beginning of something new
and exciting and not related to computers at all
except i'll go online to check for appointments
oh my what this world is coming to
the ability to sign on and set up and heal thyself

in an instant
