    Soft repose

    Sometimes I wonder how it was I got so lucky in life A wonderful job, amazing friends who’ve touched my life, A husband I love and family I get along with and enjoy. But anytime I begin to fret that life isn’t quite what it should be Or that I haven’t achieved what I set…

  • A light in the dark

    A light in the dark

    Some days you roll over on the wrong side, Step out of bed a crank Wonder why you bothered at all When fate gives your life a yank Some day’s are worse than others Some weeks never seem to end Today was one that was endless When I really could have used a friend But…

  • A song in my heart

    A song in my heart

    Everyone has a song A tune that carries through the day Whatever the mood, Come whatever may Today my tune Was joyous and light Full of triumph, Winning the fight Some days are somber, More a funeral affair When all seems lost, And I’m full of despair And as I watch my children Run around…

  • Flip side

    Flip side

    Today was an exercise in extremes. I spent the morning solitary, Writing to my hearts content. In my head, on my own, the freedom of my thoughts Uninterrupted Then noon struck, And Cinderella returned from the ball In order to deplete the wild energy of my young, I ran them hard at the Telus spark…

    Lucky day

    Friday the thirteenth has always been a lucky day for me. I guess when I set the bar as not being burnt at the stake a good day for a Friday the 13th, it’s relatively easy to be happy. I had a short day at work, which allowed some errands to be done and then…

    The tantrum

    Another family day, but this one was slightly derailed by a cold. Once again, the little man was up from about 2 am onwards with that horrible itchy cough that always portends a wonderful day ahead. We got up for the day by 430, as sleeping through his coughing is hard for me, and impossible…

  • Homecoming

    Homecoming

    It’s amazing how different Friday’s are as an adult. I remember when I lived at home still, looking forward to the weekends so I could watch movies and read books. Then when I was in university, Friday was a night to go out with friends, hit up a bar or a house party, or in…

  • Sleeping beauty

    Sleeping beauty

    His hair is a radiant halo Over his brow so smooth His breath the sigh of angels, His suss is there to soothe So warm against my body His heart a butterfly, I look at his little button nose And feel the urge to sigh This time is passing way too fast, He grows larger…

  • Easter fools day

    Easter fools day

    Happy Easter Fools day! Such a confusing holiday this year, for adults and parents and children alike. So many jokes as always. It took me back to my childhood. I remember an Easter that fell before April fools day another year, many years ago. I remember painstakingly eating all of my foil eggs and rewrapping…

    March 31st

    The last day of March is officially over, and the night is falling as I watch tv with my little one. We’re sharing a chocolate bar as I wait for the birthday boy to return from the nightly doggie duties, and I look back over another one of his birthdays. Little did I realize the…
