january nineteen

it's been one of those days today.
that super delicious sort-
the kind where I can't tell you how the hours were spent,
only that it was done with love.
the children have been totally in love with each other
and I am totally in love with them.

if the earth were warm
i would be lying upon it
with my back to the grass
arms stretched wide
-to better embrace the world-
looking up at the sky
through the treetops

just living
and breathing
and saying
Thank You.

instead i melt into the down of this couch
feet tucked into
my husband's warm socks
a cup of hot tea with honey
resting at my feet

saying, here,
Thank You.


so all is well.
we'll see you tomorrow.
