 Happy Saturday

Christmas lights

Cool nights

Hot cocoa

In a 

Santa mug

As St. Nick

And Rudolph

Relax

Before 

The upcoming journey

Questions

 What is making you smile?

What are you making?

Any holiday plans?

What are you reading?

What are you giving others?

Mystery

 God,

Thank you

For the blessings

I don’t see

Or know

Are blessings

In that moment

Until much later

It’s in an

Iced latte

Purchased

With a gift card

A hug 

I wasn’t expecting 

And a conversation 

That made me smile

Joy is in

The ordinary

Where nothing

Is guaranteed

But surprises

Yield a benefit

That isn’t quantifiable 

Enjoy the journey

It can be

Beautiful

In its

Own mystery

Love

 My body

Feels a little 

Pained this morning

Sending hugs

And love

Your way

Tuesday

 The body

Is moving 

Albeit slowly

This morning

Smile brightly

And prosper

My friends

woods

 Green juice

Some tunes

A little writing

Gratitude

And 

Jesus

The makings

Of a good

Day in my

Neck of the woods

Me

I’m having to just be still. Quiet. 

Fighting

No longer

Gives me 

Joy

My hope

Is in 

The Father

Who fights

For me
