Deep Rivers and Light in the Darkness

I really needed my journaling today.

With all of the emotions the past week

it calms me, centers me, is my release, my peace, my focus.

Like prayer or meditation.

At the end of this very long day,

I stood on one side of my mom's hospital bed

while my daughter stood at the other

and I thought about the three generations

of us.

So many feelings

so many unsaid words

so much

emotion.

Who is strong and who is fragile?

Maybe we are both

always.

In all of the sadness lately

I try to remember the beauty

the colors

the sparkle of the season.

And when I  hear the carols on the radio

playing "Where are You Christmas?"

I really know that it is in our hearts

afterall.

Thank you for your thoughts & prayers for my Mom.

I told her tonight, about all of you,

and she smiled.

She really did.

So, thank you BIG.

Love,
