as one year ends, and on the cusp of another.
‘thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. i say that one a lot.
thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.

no party is any fun unless seasoned with folly. ~ desiderius erasmus
it’s just not a party
until
the
accordion
and
the
watermelon dancers
come out.

no foolin’.
just in time
glasses on
i read
i heed
the warning.
could have been
such
a disaster.
who would
have
ever imagined
that i
should not
toast
the warning paper
that comes
stuffed into
in the
new toaster
warning me
not to toast
the
warning paper?

for
all
of
their wishes
to
come true.

why?
now you might reasonably say to me: “why put yourself through all this? why go up to the loft when you know the decorations won’t be there? why untangle the lights when you know they haven’t a chance of working?” and my answer to you is that this is part of the ritual. christmas wouldn’t be christmas without it.’ bill bryson – ‘notes from a big country’

ego is to the true self what a flashlight is to a spotlight. – john bradshaw
when i got this box
and quickly
glanced at it
something
told my imagination
that the amazon guy
who never saw
or met me
or had any idea
or cared in the least
who i am
was
paying me
a bizarre compliment
then i realized
it
was just
a bit
of
dyslexic trickery
and
ego speak.
Dec21
easy like a sunday morning.
after a night spent
with mayhem
and mischief
and fun
in
peaches’ cottage
while mom and dad have a date
and
ending up
on
the longest night ever
tucked into the loft
nestled with
nacho the cat
and
babies j and b
then
we wake up to another day
the shortest day
and
find our zen.
