It is a sure-enough beautiful morning here in Lloyd. Cool but not cold and the sun is shining like it was brand new and just trying out its powers. I am realizing that my dreams are going to be changing a lot and not necessarily for the better but that when I wake up, I can struggle out of them. I can see the day for what it is and that's a blessing, especially when it's a day like this one.
I am looking forward to a day, soon I hope, when there is nothing I have to do. It's been a long time since I had a day like that. It was two weeks ago today that Mother fell and broke her ribs. Two weeks. Such a short amount of time. A lot has happened though, in those two weeks.
You know one of the things I'd do with a day in which I had nothing I HAD to do?
I'd write.
There's so much I want to talk about, to get out of my heart and brain and into words.
Meanwhile, Obama is about to be sworn in again and I want to watch that and there are dishes to wash and the boys are coming over soon and then other people are coming over soon and there are things to be unloaded from the trailer and it's all okay and good and the sun is shining and the cardinals are chip-chirping and I'll process more crap and stuff and facts and dreams tomorrow.
There is time.
Sounds like a good plan for you. Just do what feels good. There's time enough to do the other stuff later.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's a beautiful morning there. I can feel it from here. I remember those mornings in Lloyd. Thank you for describing it and reminding me and for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI hope your day is better than expected.

Yes, it's gorgeous here, too ~ the sky is that brilliant blue. I'm worried because my azaleas have buds on them and I know it's eventually going to get cold, even here in Florida!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a beautiful day with your loving family and friends. Sending lots and lots of love to all of you.
Dear Mary-Sending you love and compassion during these days. Such light and shadow.
ReplyDeleteI must tell you-THE ROLLING STONES came to stay at my house. And we weren't prepared, the beds weren't made, no food was cooked, what a mess! They were standing around looking fabulous. I know it was a dream based on codeine cough syrup but it could happen. If I get any advance warning that they're coming, I'll let you know so you can hop on a plane.
Much much love,
Beth
Just looking at your pictures calms me. I hope you get the same feelings when you look out into your world.
ReplyDeleteYou'll get through all of this because you are a healthy normal person. You can do it.
Lovely pictures. I hope for you to have a day of nothing to do, very soon.
ReplyDelete"You know one of the things I'd do with a day in which I had nothing I HAD to do? I'd write."
ReplyDeleteI cannot agree with you more!
Yes, you'll write and think and dream and watch and wait and see and feel. And eat. I love it that you're getting lots of good things to eat.
ReplyDeleteYou know the four broken ribs - that was just too much. When that happened I thought, well, it's hard to know what to hope for here. She followed the Exit sign. There is only so far you can go after her, especially when you have those tender little sprouts to think of and care for. They'll see you through. Meanwhile, big hug to you, Ms. Moon.
