What a wild weekend!
Cooking, cleaning, laundry
and guests. Wasn't sure I'd
quite make it there for a
while. It was all good and
quite exciting. No weddings
for a while, please!
unexpectedly
survived wedding and parties
bought lotto tickets
Dance on broken glass, build castles with shattered dreams and wear your tears like precious pearls. Proud. Strong. Unshakable. ~Anita Krizzan

Today I wed my first grandchild.
Sometimes, I believe I think of myself
as that young woman who came back
to US, or the gal who turned 40 whilst
teaching in Commerce City. And yet,
here I am, only two years away from
70. Gives one something to think about.
the wheel still turning
should celebrate this each day
alas we forget

'Tis Christmas Day and part of me can't even
believe how this has happened. I honor the
Christian Christ; he was an amazing man.
So wish we could all be more like him. He is,
and always will be, one of my heroes.

The trip home was treacherous! But,

I find myself longing for peace,
world peace of course, but I was
thinking more along the lines of
peace within. Being anxiety ridden
all the time is a great deal of hard
work. I'm beyond exhausted with
it. Pray send out the little men in
white coats if there is no cure . . .

We've got to work out this delivery thing. The
UPS man, or whomever, came both yesterday
and the day before. We were here and neither
of us heard him We are empty-handed and not
quite sure how to work this out. Might seem
silly, but it is the holiday season, after all.

We came home from Longmont last night
as we had gone to see ZAK. We hadn't seen
him in four years. 'Twas most lovely seeing
him and catching up. The two moms, Robin
and I, took us out to lunch and ZAK surprised
us by treating. Ones grown up children are
always rather a surprise.

I should celebrate. Got almost an
entire four hours of sleep last night.
It's just getting better and better. 'Tis
no wonder some troubled souls turn
to drink, but I refuse as I only want
it for celebratory purposes.

Been coming apart at the seams for a
long while now. Sometimes are scarier
than others and that's probably to be
expected. My prayer is that I can see
the humor and not go the alternative
route just because the joke on me has
lasted far too long.

As conscientious women, we most likely
spend our entire lives making the effort
to grow, to become, to be someone. I
imagine the struggle feels different for
each, but in the striving, we are sisters.
longing to become
will i ever measure up
starting to despair

12/16/17 - Celebrating Yule
At Yule, the dark half of the year abdicates
to the light half. Starting at sunrise, the sun
climbs a little higher and stays a little longer
in the sky each day. Solstice Night, or the
longest night of the year, the sun's rebirth is
celebrated with joy.
pray lets lose the dark
longest night new beginnings

Reading isn't necessarily escapism.
Having said that, not certain I could
survive without it. It brings the world
and its saving grace to my doorstep
even as I am a prisoner of my own
choices.
a gift from the gods
the love of literature
keeping me alive

I find myself wishing for a good night's rest.
It seems like it's been forever and a day since
I've slept much and slept dreamlessly. I have
to wonder what it is about the human psyche
that causes sleeplessness and nightmares.
forget sleepless nights
longing for some clarity
i want a refund
