I had such a good day today. I was so full of energy. Tommy has sucked the life out of me. I cannot complete the planned tasks tonight without some rest.
Day: January 4, 2005
Sweetness
Tonight is so beautiful
The fog is thick
And the air absolutely still
Only a car or two can be heard
in the distance
No planes fly tonight
Few lights pollute the darkness
The crickets are silent
The possum and raccoon have stayed home
A hoot owl speaks twice then says no more
My puppy sits faithfully with me
She too is still like the air
The air is crisp like a walk-in freezer
at the grocery
But not cold
I could sleep on this log tonight
There is magic in the air
Blessed be
I have found calm and peace
After having a child yell at me
For three hours
I have had a most exceptional day. I am very happy…
I have had a most exceptional day. I am very happy!
chili prior to a product demo… what a mistake!

everything is so loud today!
everything is so loud today!
Stop Dreaming While You Can
I have watched so many simple dreams and wishes fade off into the distance that I have reached a point in my life where I believe it is less painful to quit dreaming than it is to have dreams and not see them fulfilled.
Giving up? No. I need not dreams. My children need dreams and hopes. Rather than waste dreams on me I will help them develop their own dreams and be happy by seeing theirs fulfilled.
Getting old might not be so bad
Ada Calhoun in her essay “Middle Ground” explains “Why teenage girls and middle-aged men belong together.”
I haven’t read the article yet but it’s got one of those titles that makes you do a double-take.
