“How was your night, Dana?” Dana rolled her eyes and stretched her wings lazily. “Eh, my new nest isn’t as comfortable as last year’s, but I’m making it work.” Coral nodded in agreement. “Mine's not great either. Too much noise and light all night long—I don’t know how anyone can sleep through that nonsense.” She leaned in, lowering her voice. “On a different note, I overheard Roger talking about ...

“Not one stinkin fish today”. My cousin was out here yesterday caught 5 bass over 5 pounds. I can hear her rubbing it in, “Whos the hammer in the family now”! Ugh….the embarrassment is almost too much to bear. I’ll give it 20 more minutes. The river was especially beautiful tonight. The way the light of the full moon hits the river surface makes it look like a mirror. The mirror is reflecting moon...

Early morning and Im reluctantly emersed in my morning routine. First up, feeding the dogs. Then I move on to washing the dishes. I didnt sleep well last night and I woke up with an overwhelming feeling of grief. Three years ago my mother passed away suddenly and unexpectantly. I used to get these feelings of grief quite often following her death but it rarely happens to me now. Oh well, back to t...

Its funny how such a small moment can make you question such a large part of who you are. I am sitting at my desk wrapping up a client session and before he leaves my office he says “ I dont want to be disrespectfull, but I just want to say that you are a beautiful woman”. I am taken a back. He continues “ You are always so kind and willing to listen to me and I feel like you and your team have he...

You ever wake up with the craving for a certain food? Well, this morning all I’ve been thinking about is spaghetti. I know I dont have all the ingredients but I check the kitchen pantry anyways. Yeah, looks like I need to go to the grocery store. It’s a weekend so I have time to clean up my place, walk my dogs and maybe do a little gardening. My husband is already up and tinkering around in his ga...

When I woke up this morning, the house was quiet. I am feeling a little nervous….scared even. Its a Tuesday morning and I dont hear my mother clanking dishes around. I dont hear the water splashing from her doing the laundry. There is no smell of coffee and fresh bread. I dont hear my father shaking the newspaper and talking about the next crisis before heading out to work. My siblings must be sti...

Im up! As wonderful as it would be to stay in bed that is just not an option. The entire planet depends on me doing my job. Im not sure I can call it a job though, I absolutely love what I do. I bring life to the planet….I mean how fantastic it that. As cool as that sounds, its no easy undertaking. There are other deities with responsibilties but none more important than mine. The other deities ha...

Everyone is gathered at the front desk listening to the morning brief. Once we hear the workload ahead you can see the energy drain from their faces. That is until…she walks in. She is a little late but noone seems to mind. Their faces light up at the site of her plain, chubby face. Knowing how challenging the day ahead will be the staff is all the sudden optimistic when she arrives. They know tha...

He smiled proudly as he held up his shoes. These shoes had his last few weeks engraved on them. Although the color was faded now you could tell that it was once a brillant bright orange. The boisterous sneaker color was a flagrant contrast to his personality yet it matched his commitment to run 100 miles in a month. The tread was barely visible. The dirt, grass and various traces of nature were p...

Keep Moving

Its happening again….no not now. I am celebrating, I am happy. People are congratulating me. This is a joyous occasion, this is not the time for sorrow. I start walking. The people fade. I am alone. Once the sadness emerges, the only thing I can do is let it happen. There is no way around it; I have to go through it. As I sink deeper in the torment- I feel myself shrinking. The world around me gro...
