Restore the joy
Lazy Boy Lamenting
t is 1:41am. In the morning. In the stinkin' wee hours of the morning!!
I am awake. I am in pain. And I am not happy about it...not one single bit happy. And I am arguing...with myself.
One word
So, the wait is over. The phone rang late Friday afternoon. My surgeon's voice was on the other end. I took a deep breath. A word was uttered, "Benign".
I was........without words.
And still am.
Spring Snow
This time last week it was warm. I wore sandals. No jacket was required. The sun was shining. People were out walking, running and playing in parks. The city was coming alive again.
Today we awoke to snow on the ground!! An extended commute time was caused by the short term memory issues of drivers. The jacket came back out and even had to put on gloves. I am wearing boots. Oh, for the LOVE!
It is well
It is 3:37pm. It is Thursday. The sun is shining. A normal day.
However.....
I am waiting.
For a call.
A Holy Whisper
Until she added music.
The Game With No winner
{Side bar: most of you don't know this but I feel pretty strongly about rape. I volunteered for over a year at a rape crisis center in Pensacola, FL in my early 20s. I spent many hours in the middle of the night talking to women who were still dealing with the emotional trauma of past rapes or abuse. Hours. I am passionate about this subject. You can't even imagine how passionate. Can. NOT. Even.}
