Home for now! The coffee is cold, even though I used the microwave. Funny. I was around when the first one was sold. We were so amazed! Magic in a box... but not a miracle. My guy is home, but he is still sick. I can not beat the phantom of bad with a stick... or I would! A lot of times, I would never stop. I pray now for all that is to happen. Each day a gift to be opened anew. Every part in my heart stable, but un-accepting of the inevitable. The predictable, the foreseeable, the expected... denied! Cherished small talk. Skipping stones, and long walks. Summer breezes, until the winter freezes. That is the "gift" of now, and the promise of... forever. A. Foster, Ann Foster, Annette Foster

Loved last two stanza especially second last stanza about un-accepting the inevitable. We know but we repeatedly make same mistake like fool. At least I do and you inspired me to change. Thanks. Enjoy your day friend.

That is truly high praise to have written anything to move another. The truth that shines, we are all just humans, and God is King! Ty... Ann

We are all so short of memory. I think I will do something, then put it off every time. The distance between is getting shorter... things are running out. Embrace all that you can... Ty for your kind words... Ann

You should buy a small electric plate.

I love that. You are right. I guess I just did not have the push to make a new pot. I was drinking two day old... that had been warmed in the micro a few times. I don't think it is really coffee any longer. But I am ... or was still drinking it... :) Nice idea... however... thank you... Ann
