Photo by Helena Lopes from Pexels Lost my temper the other day. No, that’s actually not quite it. I found my anger the other day. Boy oh boy, did I ever. Furious words scraped out of my mouth, long held air whooshed through my lungs. My body shook, my voice like sandpaper, all gritty and scraped. I didn’tContinue reading “I’ll Stand By You”

Cotton Balls
Cotton balls. Curious how the most ordinary things can stir up in me a memory and a feeling in my body. And – weird – cotton balls? Yep, those little white swabby things. I use them to take off nail polish. This particular cluster of white soft fuzzies came in the top of a supplementContinue reading “Cotton Balls”
The Best Thing Ever
Photo by Balázs Benjamin from Pexels It’s early January and yet the ground is green, just a bit of snow left from Christmas Eve’s stormy white. Snowperson fell over yesterday in the thaw, hat upside down next to its round base. More snow is on the way, I’m sure. This is the cycle, isn’t it? Snow, white &Continue reading “The Best Thing Ever”
Ode To FurButt
The alarm goes off. It’s early. But she likes to get out there before the sun rises. With sweats over pjs, I open the bedroom door. She’s there. Of course. Tail wagging fiercely. Of course.
