to dance on empty pages ~

....

these days away have been good for the heart.
every so often i believe my thoughts, need time away, to dance on empty pages.
to sit in the classroom of silence
or noise
and to just be
mama
wife
tortellini maker 
the time has been spent- 
trying to perfect the art of making french toast 
and when that failed
chocolate chip pancakes were made
and all failures in other departments were forgotten 
walking along the water
loving earlier mornings than usual to feed my soul 
welcoming tears here and there 
appreciating smiles that just came from out of the blue 
enjoying smiles that came from friends who like orange
changing our sheets in the middle of the night
when our doggy, miles, tossed his cookies or rather his hot dog. poor thing. 
reading and feeling these words... 
"pulling out the chair 
beneath your mind 
and watching you fall upon god" 
hafiz 
coffee. of course there was coffee. you may read more about that here in my mm post. love! 
wtsb post is up! woot! : ) 

how are you my friends? xoxo

*sigh* Your words and this photo. I feel like I just landed into a nice soft couch with a cozy blanket, talking with an old friend. Stay blessed. xo

Everytime I visit your space Christina you make my heart swell.
Your time spent away sounds filled with the ups and downs of a beautiful life and any day with coffee is a good one in my book.

So good to see you back here again. I missed you so. How wonderful to take the time to make chocolate chip pancakes and enjoy smiles from friends who like orange. Soon, very soon I hope to share a cup of something special with you and just sit for a bit and treasure a few moments.
