Late night's ride home...

Traveling home after
Days spent traveling away

So good for the soul to see familiar sites
Lights and faces when you walk through the door

Home is where you heal
And restore, and prepare

For yet another trip away.

White Gull

A white gull in February
Soaring above the ice, and foraging for shell fish.

A white gull in July
Soaring above the parking lot, scouring for dropped burgers and fries.

What makes the white gull in February beautiful?
And the gull in July so plain?

I've come to the conclusion today, that it has
Nothing to do with the gull.

#gratitude Days 1, 2 and 3

So, it was about a year ago that I thought of trying to post #gratitude every day for a year.   My lovely wife day moore joined me in the challenge.  Here we are about a year later - and I fell well off the wagon - stopping after a few months, and feeling overtaxed by the events of every day at work.  But Day continued on, making it happen and living it through.  So Day, I am grateful for you, and your tenacity.

Love you so.

And so it goes...

#grateful
day 1 - for time with family over the holidays.... it was wonderful
day 2 - for a safe (but long) journey home
day 3 - for all days with day
