I have been a bit raw of late...
you know, that kind of
tears welling up
at car commercials
kind of raw
you know, that kind of
tears welling up
at car commercials
kind of raw
not that I am all for stuffing your feelings, or putting a good face on it, either
because, after all
we all have our stuff
no one seems to walk that road alone
sadly, there is a lot of company on that road
so I have been taking a moment
the great people that were in my class last weekend...
the moments of seeing an old dog friend with their face in the sun...
the daunting task of selecting just the right colors
from a Robert Kaufman Fabrics box of kona cottons
but for my friend and her son, who have lost their "rock" of a man in their life
I can only hope that the memories of the time they have spent together
will far outshine
the sadness of thinking of the future without him
and for those of you
who seem to be getting a bit too emotional over beer and Clydesdale commercials
it's okay
we all do it
take a moment to stop and listen to the morning song bird
sort your fabrics
just to enjoy the colors and the designs
stop to tell a dog that they are a good dog
enjoy the quiet of the snow, the rain, the fog, or the sun
and speak kindly to a stranger
just take a moment

Hugs! Sometimes we just have to keeping putting one foot in front of the other, sounds like you're in that place right now.
Wow Natalie, you always take me along with you as I read your type-written message. Always lovely, always heartfelt. I wish you well my virtual friend, may the love coming from the eyes of your beloved dog-friends reach down inside you & lighten your day. I am so with you on focusing on the beauty of this earth and all that reside within/on it. And Blessings to your friends as they walk a new path :) Jackie in NC
