    It’s amazing the difference one good day can make Or one bad one can take The week after a long weekend feels crazy Overwhelming While we rush, rush, rush All the way through, To make up one lost day Of productivity Then miraculously, Just like that Something clicks And the magic shines through Guiding you…

    Moments on Tuesday’s

    Tuesday’s with my family Spaghetti and chicken Snuggles in the evening The rain hits the window But we are safe inside, Toasty and cuddled Tucked in together Side by side by side I look into their soft, Youthful faces And my heart swells Two sizes two big I sigh, Then pull the blankets closer

    Another Monday List in hand Wondering how It got so grand If I had another 23 hours In each and every day I could do all of the things And would never have to say I’m sorry I can’t I’d love to but no There’s too many things Without enough time to show The world…
