Little hands squeezing
my neck hello,
” UP” she yells
she is my happiness
for now, today.
Happiness is fleeting.
But gratitude is a
different thing than
bestowing happiness, dear Santa.
Gratitude requires
the grace to accept
something meant to help,
like groceries from
my neighbors or
the mowing of my lawn
because I can no longer
push a mower.
A simple thank you will suffice.

Thank you for making me scream laugh last evening. You are a gem. xo

It was my pleasure. Not everyone will admit to scream laughing. It is along the lines of “I spit my coffee” or a laugh snort. A genuine find you are:) It was so early in the morning here I was worried you would be late to work. I forgot cyber space means possibly being on the other side of the world. The Silent Sentinel says he will try to make a drawing for us. Giggle. Thanks for the great conversation.BIG HUGS!

I drew it (Silent Sentinel may be working on it for a few weeks) and I wrote the post too since I’m up.

Thank you. That came out of nowhere/everywhere at once. I wish I could be clear and concise (wish I could have spelled that the first 15 times,) more often.
