Happiness




I have been asked a lot about my
New Years Resolutions.
I want to stew about them for a while.

But one thing I know for sure
they will be simple.
Simple like this photo.
I am done with beating myself up for unmet expectations.

I want to emerge myself in joy.
Feel every leaf in the wind
and wave in the sea,
and stop waiting for tomorrow.

I guess that is the good thing about what I have been through
Everything is precious when you have had a tube
stuck up your nose and strangers wiping your drool.

This year I choose life.
In between my toes,
in every breath,
every step
and every dirty dish.

yup. even the dishes are precious to me now.

  1. Ha ha! Sorry, I'm just giggling about the Tina Fey comment you left on my blog. :) It just shows how much time I waste with movies/television. Tina Fey was on Saturday Night Life, She's on the show 30 Rock, and she was hilarious in the movie Baby Momma. :)
