Oh, my beautiful life.


My cup overflows with love.

My house is filled with the energy of family.

My kids are all home.

My puppies and kitties are happy.

The tree is lit and the stockings are hung.

Prime rib is waiting to go in the oven,

and I have helpers ready to peel potatoes.


I have done a lot of crying

yesterday and today.

My heart carries the weight of grief

and gratitude—for time together,

for love.


My heart also lingers on memories from last year.

Threads of tenderness and sadness

that still exist.


Oh, my beautiful life.

A mix of the truest parts of humanity.
