heal.

Standard

one of the sweetest cards ever –

created by one of my kinders 

who “read” it aloud to me:

“I really, really, really  hope that your foot feels better very, very soon.”

(complete with a picture of me with one foot in the giant boot. )

“if you carry joy in your heart, you can heal any moment.”

-carlos santana

das boot.

Standard

another unexpected mishap

once

while singing and dancing in my house

another time

while playing extreme family badminton

yet again

after lots and lots of walking and hiking

and

this time

while

running on the ice with the kinders

then 

limping to the doctor for a boot

it’s only a matter of time

and i’m sure that 

 i’ll find

a new happy and healthy activity

to challenge me 

but i’m going to

keep the boot this time.

“my optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.”

-henry rollins

how things work.

seeing firsthand how things work –
