Gratitude

Both
Overwhelmed because I don't know who I am Because motherhood didn't do that Life did Overwhelmed because my husband can't read my mind Even though he tries Despite my complaints Overwhelmed because I can't afford a house Because I'm choosing to stay home And raise our children Overwhelmed because my children scream and cry Over the littlest things And I'm still supposed to have it all together Overjoyed because I get to find out who I am again All while being in the midst of motherhood And this time… I get to choose her Overjoyed because my husband takes care of me And knows me most days Even when I don't know myself Overjoyed because I am the house My presence is the roof And my arms are where they come home Overjoyed because my children scream and cry And still reach for me Like I'm the only place that makes sense So I am both. Falling apart and holding it together. Lost and somehow exactly where I'm supposed to be.

In Memoriam
How could I ever forget? The battles you fought. The lessons you taught. The price of blood and bones in which it was bought.

The Cold Breath of Nightly Mist
I. Tonight, fog rolls in and there is nothing to see from the backyard ledge. II. Can’t see the sea, can’t see the curves of the bay

“The Light‑Weight Coffee Ballad”
This is a light weight video from Sweetie Bird. She had Mom, Vicki, me, turn off the news to have fun today. Taking a break. No Folgers for me, just light weight humor, and light weight coffee with no acid to burn through the atmosphere,
