remember love...

shadows danced across my frosted window

and there it appeared

remnants of her tiny fingertips

on a cold winter's day.

~

each time mother nature breathes

i imagine my love

transported on her wings,

straight to your heart.

~

praying for you, ayiti.

though you may not have windows

at this very hour

you do have love.

~

and now abideth

faith, hope, love, these three;

but the greatest of these

is love.

~

may love find you wherever you are today.

Love is...

 

blowing kisses

little chocolate hearts

valentines

hugs

inspiration

wagging tails

giggles

following your heart

taking chances

trusting in something you can't see

hope

Love is...

Love is all around us, it is everywhere we look, if we really look.

Love

sweet little love notes

and illustrations

by my little ones

that i get greeted with

when i return home from work.

Love = Letting Go

 

Today our almost 21 year stuffed his compact car with the things he couldn't live without and headed to friends three hours away. With his disintegrated muffler puttering down the street he, his xbox and an old box fan are on their own. The icons of his childhood are left behind, frozen on a shelf. I'd like to say his transition went without conflict but sometimes life just isn't perfectly clear when it's time to move on. After emotions and words were thrown about, the air cleared and a new gentler perspective rose out of the frustration. It is a good day. Especially for Tyler.

love is... flowers

love is

him surprising me with

armloads of tulips

when i feel sick

thanks, honey!

LOVE is...

sweet...sweet smiles...

love is...cool red boxers!!!

my son's...but don't tell him.
