Acceptance
Driving to work this morning I was struck by the simple beauty of the sunrise. I never seem able to capture the beauty, either in pictures or in words and for that I feel simultaneously sad and and all odds by what nature can provide. For some reason, that inability cause me to think about…

Monday the fourth
Another Monday morning rush; little hands, little faces, so many little things to do. I packed the night before, hoping it would help us arrive sooner at the door. In a way, it did, or would have except of course I forgot that Monday itself would likely continue to be busy. Although the lunches were…

Night out with the boys
A Saturday with the kids, catching up from my time away. They ran around at the McDonalds with the play place, creating gangs of good guys and bad guys with random strangers. I watched with amazement as the culture of childhood surpassed the boundaries of strangers and age, as every child in the shrieking shack…

Dog days
The dog days of summer So humid and hot Make you think about lounging, To take time to consider what you’ve got The air is so heavy Breathing is hard Except for the children Who still run through the yard We prepare too much food More than anyone could eat Corn and salads, With steak…

Sun day beach day
Another Sunday family fun day A long drive for a slice of fun Beach and family Rolled into one The sun was shining The air was warm Not even a cloud Dared ruin the day’s charm Kids splashed and played Having a blast together Even the adults appreciated the weather I diligently applied Sun block…
