Driving a neighbour to the hospital.
Preparing a lasagna for an elderly friend.
Knitting dishcloths to give away randomly.
Smiling kindly at a stranger.
Telling someone you love their colourful socks.
Offering a hug to the one who needs it most.
Sunshine in the Morning
We have already moved into Summer
yet our Spring has not fully come into season.
The months are still in sync
but mother nature is not.
So I guess I will enjoy my coffee
and sit in the warmth of the sun
while it lasts.
Fluffy Cute Bundles of Doom
In the wild
they are excellent
at getting food.
In the wild
they are known
to be fierce fighters
and will defend
themselves and their offspring.
In the wild
we glimpse them
before they bound off.
In the wild
if you see a rabbit
RUN!
Little Ways
Draw a bath
Call a friend
Take some deep breaths
Enjoy a cup of Tea
Take a walk
Read a book
Take a nap
Do a little dance
Write a poem
Draw a silly sketch
Love yourself
and be Mindful of others
Cedar
The memory of campfire
Watching the fire blaze
Smelling the cooking hotdogs
Or roasted to blackness marshmallows.
The underlying smell of the woods surrounding us.
Pine, maple, birch and the elusive yet pungent scent of cedar.
To this day it reminds me of my youth
And the simpler times when I had no responsibilities.
Kids versus Cats
They demand to be fed.
They refuse to clean up their messes.
They insist you play with them.
They talk back to you.
They invade your personal space.
They interfere with your sleep.
They make you crazy
And you love them for it.
Broken Lasagna
Nothing beats noodles layered
with tomato sauced meat
flavoured with oregano
and mixed with onions and garlic.
Yet when the dish slips
and falls to the floor
supper is still needed
so broken up lasagna noodles
are added to the remaining meat sauce
allowed to simmer
and then we eat.
After I clean up the first mess.
Coffee and a Black Cat
Shower is done.
Laundry is started.
Groceries are still to be done.
Emails sent out.
Almost all the items from the list are complete.
Now for a break
and relax with company.
Chipped and Broken Nails
No time to clip them
Life is too busy and things are forgotten.
Time for bed
and in the morning new scratches
that are not from the cats.
Pride of the Month
Moths are just as beautiful as butterflies.
Dandelions are pretty just like roses.
Salad with dressing is also healthy.
A cat can be just as friendly as a dog.
No one needs to be seen as less worthwhile.
You are wonderful just like you are
and no one deserves to respect themselves more!
