Jernee: a few years back (five, to be exact) as we celebrated her being introduced to some new toys.
She was a bit more mobile back then and got much more excited, too. Now, she just looks about sort of with it and not with it, too.
But … she’s still bringing me so much joy. I hope this video does exactly that for you, also.
Peace and blessings.
If you celebrate this time of year, Jernee & I are wishing you a safe and happy holiday season.
May the upcoming year bless and keep you throughout each month.
Peace and blessings.
I will always say, “It’s the simple things” in life to cause me to become my happiest. My beautiful and incredibly talented friend Heejin included homemade Gingerbread cookies in our care package this year, and I nearly teared up when I pulled them out of their bubble-wrapped packaging. I immediately sent her a text message to make sure they were indeed edible and not for decorative purposes only . . . I mean, I don’t want to eat them, they’re so perfectly crafted. She informed me that yes, I could eat them, and not only were they edible, but they were also made in our likeness. One is her, the other is me. I informed her again that I truly didn’t want to eat them even more now after learning this fact.
I am in awe almost daily of her undeniable talent. She never ceases to amaze me. I often think “What can I do to top Heejin? How can I give her the best gift?” But she continually tells me, our friendship is the best gift I could ever give her. Having her in my life is surely icing on the cake.
If you’re blessed enough to know true friendship, hang on to it–embrace it at every turn. I’d choose it over any monetary or tangible gift any day.
It’s truly the best.
May this holiday season be what you need it to be, and may you put a smile on someone’s face and fill the heart of another with peace and comfort.
From our hearts to yours. Happy Holidays.
the gift of love
wraps me in its essence
the dog nestles in closer
these days; winter is on
her way
and she comes with
change standing on
her shoulders
I think I’m ready now
at least,
I hope so
And now, my favorite commercial . . .
children kick balls
on the resurfaced street,
dressed for winter.
the dog sleeps, wakes
to be walked and fed.
I watch cartoons–animated
movies with Christmas trees
taller than my building
on screen.
season of giving
crash-landed . . .
I’m not ready for it.
are you?
