list of things people would save
if their humans and animals were out
their house was on fire
and they were only allowed to save one thing
I am thankful for my
family
friends
dogs
God's grace
my house
being retired
being warm
being pain-free
being loved
and potato chips
Lent
Lent can be a time to give up:
chocolate
alcohol
cell phones
television
computers
cursing
smoking
While they are all good
What if we did:
pray more
serve at a homeless shelter
spend more time with family
go to church
read the Bible
call a sick friend
help a single mother
Lent is more than giving up something.
It is about loving and serving God
and loving and serving others
as Jesus did for us.

Sending love
to all the right cells

together an optimistic
giddy certified day
of hope, and love.

Sadie's Cancer in
Remission!
Scratch off everyone who passed away
and those who went astray
those who did not send you one
I know but Blah Humbug! is somewhat fun
Have to send to relatives who are rich
and to all family so no one will b...snitch
and to the one who pays your paycheck
Holiday seasons can be a brown nose l...a doodle do
And for the non Christians on your list
sending Thanksgiving cards is the best
No checks, cash or gift cards in 2022
a greeting is all you can afford to do
Edit twice and how many do you need
looks like your down to two or three
Save on stamps and spit
Looks like it's gonna be a Merry Christmas
I'll call those I love one day each week,
just because I love to hear them speak.
I will use much less ocean-clogging plastic
as Earth's situation becomes more drastic.
I will help those who can't help themselves
knowing need can't be left upon the shelves.
I'll continue feeding birds, bunnies, squirrels,
and hope next year will bring a better world.
And, a year from now, putting 2022 behind,
I hope I can say, above all else, I was kind.

I am writing this to you
You, whose friends and family have written off
You, who have you yourself, written off
I want to tell you
You were not born this way
With hair trigger rage
With crippling anxiety
Or just not feeling normal in any way
Written off by society
Or a DSM casualty
It was that fall down the stairs when you were three
Or at age six, falling out of a tree
You were not born this way
You have a traumatic brain injury
If I have to receive rejections, you would think I could at least get the kind of rejection slips that I would like to get. Here are a few rejections that I haven't received. Yet.

Sitting in the sun, wearing my Mickey Mouse reds,
I feel a kindship to all the other oldies
Who appreciate loose clothes,
a full belly,
a warm cat,
a happy dog,
a pretty November day
Sunday laziness,
good health,
a thriving family
a TV set and computer that work
and the ability to enjoy the simple things

So don’t have to go to an office
Born dependent.
Wide-eyed and hungry.
Looking and learning.
So much colour.
Bigger bed.
Sounds ringing.
Talking and smiling.
Homes and pets.
Kitchen smells.
School bells.
Bigger clothes.
Friends rotate.
Library books.
Bigger shoes.
New building.
Glasses on.
Late nights.
Certificate.
Bigger world.
Crowded transport.
Watch the clock.
Need more sleep.
Bigger pressures.
Reunion time.
See old friends.
Comparing lives.
Bigger roles.
Kids and Grandkids.
Born dependent.
Wide-eyed and hungry.
Looking and learning...
The dog's at the door
Leash, collar, mask, rubber paw pads
The cat's doing three to five for
Shredding the toilet paper
The FBI fingerprint lab
Has ceased operation
Arrests are down
Everyone's wearing rubber gloves
And a mask
The Care Bears......DON'T
Virtual kisses smudge the screen
Virtual bar rooms
Together....but drinking alone
I caught the children watching
The Great Escape
My grandson now sleeps
With his baseball glove
My granddaughter stole
A spoon at supper
So how's your sanity holding up??

- Putting together a scrapbook of your child’s best moments
- Creating an heirloom bedspread out of old T-shirts for your child
- Framing a child’s stick-figure picture like it is the Mona Lisa
- Creating a new dessert, entre, or snack for the family
- Working on a relationship that is worth working on
- Working towards a goal whether or not it is achieved
- Writing a poem that uniquely describes a precious love
Born alone,
A lonely life,
Perhaps
Lonely at death
despite the family.
Cost of living is so high
That you are loved
For what you can give
Not for what
you might take.
My wish list
Does not include
Items of physical
pleasures,
but such things
As love, laughter
and affection.
I wipe the mist
On the window
Bare hand
To see outside.
Waiting alone,
For my children
To come home
for christmas!
get in line
blood lines
phone lines
chow lines
fine lines
fence lines
crossed lines
dotted lines
drawn lines
clothes lines
family lines
