nothing.all of it.me.grateful.

"....and that is where you found me, at the water's edge.
I could see across the river then and I showed YOU
the other side-
But you, in your boat of reason
sailed smoothly across....
leaving me to swim."
T.L. Starks~Waves 2003




Here it is, the magical thinking day...a new New Year comes to pass.
Magically I will extract all the poison, I say- from the old days and put it on the compost pile.  Hmmmm...maybe magic isn't the word, perhaps mightily is how I proceed this day.


Unforgettable moments to grow on:

And I, you...

True, true wonder...

Might I always leap when overwhelmed!

May I always, always notice such things...

And be humbled by the enormity of beauty, be still when  it gets noisy; deeper still when it gets too quiet.

Walk a ways, every day.

Try on serenity- wear it, share it be aware of it.


What I will forget- nothing.  What will aid me, all of it.  What hurt me most- me.  Lessons earned, lessons learned...and may all of it make me grateful.

Thank you...but Colorado, not sure you want to follow friend, never know what you might step in with me. Jayne- you are like a day without rain, always.
TB I am apt to believe you then!!!! You're better than a horoscope mister.
I appreciate your comments, especially the thoughtful order part, never thought I'd see the day when those two things together might apply to me, lol.
