Just shooting the poop with Lori |
|
He travels the world on the backs of others Insignificant in his stature and size His journey carries no mission Randomly roaming at the will of his host Sated enough to never question his trek Life is an open adventure without worry If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls Another bus awaits to grant passage With a furry friend to carry him home Ah the wonderful life of a flea |
| A New Year always brings about hope, even in the dark recesses of our hearts and minds. Within us all lives the child of old, giddy with the newness of possibilities granted by a new start. We don't have to change our inner being to take a step forward. Let the child in you taste the winds of change. Go boldly, into the New Year eager to experience life. Enjoy the joy in the world, for it is out there waiting. Reach out to the people around you offering kindness. Forget about shedding pounds! Instead shed the isolation and hatred garnered from the past 2 years. Remember, one person can make a difference in the lives of 1000's. Make it your New Year's resolution to make your little corner of the world a prettier place to live and grow. Do it through writing, painting, building, or growing. Do it through involving yourself,listening to one another, hugging your loved ones, or being willing to walk in someone else's shoes for a day. Sing a song of faith or unity, being unafraid to hit the high notes. It is called life, and we must reclaim it. An image that lives in my head gives me comfort.It is a vision, where as I clasp my hands together and place my forefingers to form a steeple, the child in me is reminded. And as I turn my hands upward and wiggle my fingers, repeating "Here's all the people" For me it is an image of faith, but it can mean so much more in this New Year. It signifies the unity of people coming together. Embrace the people in your circle, for at the end of the day it is the people that will mean the most to us. As we start another year of COVID, it is easy to be bogged down in depression. Push it aside, opening your child-like heart to the possibility of newness.The New Year represents a blank canvas for every inspired artist hoping to paint a new self portrait..

| Two days til Christmas and all I want for Christmas is peace. It is the peace seen in maskless faces, unneeded isolation gowns stuffed in stock rooms for random use,enough staff members able to enjoy being able to care for their patients, and invisible and unneeded testing sites.I want no more COVID for Christmas.Call me selfish, but it has been a very long 2 years. |
| Have had some fun this season writing Christmas songs.I don't read music, but if I like the song it pretty much plays in my head. I have done this many times in my life, starting with lullaby's I wrote for each of my kids when they were born. Memories of singing their special song, while i rocked them are priceless. Part of the fun of writing the song is taping the outcome and letting other's hear it. Doesn't matter if you are a world class singer on not. It is all in the spirit of the song and making it your own. Check out my Christmas song in the last blog. I think it is what finally put some Christmas spirit in my soul this year. Wish I knew how to let people on writing.com hear my mp3, but you will just have to sing it in your head. |
