the graciousness of forgiveness
the surprise of blessedness laced in the sorrow
the simpleness of being
the ease of many years
the curious comfort of guilt
the chaos and moments of true peace, together
the finality of the night
the recognition of sympathy
the beauty of appreciation
the awkward knowledge of loss
the tenderness of urgency
the quiet wonderment of compromise
the familiar need and primal want for a mother's hug

MINIMAL!
the beautiful ease of just breathing
the simplicity and evenness of ten weeks
the gratifying sense of being well-cared-for
the nearness of Tuesday
the final frontier
the omnipresence of God
the flip-side of sick-and-tired

today
knowing this is where I am supposed to be right now
loving my home
looking forward
understanding that he is perfect for her
letting go
accepting it all

looking forward
understanding that he is perfect for her
letting go
accepting it all

Jigsaws and Pyrex
my girl
the circle of life
loving my husband, 31 years later
Fed-Ex, UPS, Amazon...wedding gifts
a listening Tosh
reclaiming my life
knowing where the trouble began
seeing, at last, how the pieces fit

JJ and the monkey room
knowing when it is time to say goodbye
the sweetest question in the world
a prayer answered, a hope realized, a dream fulfilled
finding the right path on the crooked, never traveled road
the simplicity of the word yes
understanding that, sometimes, quiet is as loud as you can be

Gathering of Kings
not quite finding it, but still willing to search for, just the right balance
virtuous patience and the prayerful longing I have for it
accepting that God's will is not always my will - actually, rarely is it so - but knowing that His way is best
needing - and blessedly having - friends who hold me up and give me love when I need it most
knowing that where I am is where I am supposed to be at this moment, on this day
the incredible strength of my husband
the elephant-clopping of a horse-size dog
the independence and womanhood and innate goodness of my only child
having not two, but four good legs and an ever-wagging, happy tail
the hope of an epiphany on the Feast of Epiphany
