The 46th year.

Flowers given for my 46th year.
The sky this morning was a growing palet of watercolors.
The flora crispy with frost.

Mornings like this, my mind immediately goes to those who don't have a warm home, coat or meal.
The need to help those who don't have, grows within me with every passing year.
I wait only until my children are grown and gone from home to do more than what we do now.
Because in my mind, the need will still be there, even then.
In the meantime, helping to supply the food bank will have to do for my soul.

This week is filled with Thanks. We have three dinners in three days! Tons of food, conversation, laughter and family we haven't seen since last season. I believe we will all be in a food coma by Sunday! It will be a Harry Potter weekend and a sneak preview of the fifth movie will be shown. Not sure which day. But I'm sure we won't miss it.

We still have a day or two worth of leaves to get up. I Hope to get these out of the way this weekend so I can plan some kind of Christmas decor. My Christams shopping is almost done. Anything else we 'need' will be online or at the drugstore down the street.

My idea Christmas scene is walking down heavily decorated city streets and store fronts while large snow flakes float down. Maybe I should buy a snowglobe?


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! and "Pass the cranberries!"

We'll do it all
every thing
on our own
we don't need
anything
or anyone

if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world


i don't quite know
how to say
how i feel


those three words
are said too much
but not enough


if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world


forget what we're told
before we get too old
show me a garden
thats bursting into life


let's waste time chasing cars
around our heads
i need your grace
to remind me
to find my own


if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world


forget what we're told
before we get too old
show me a garden
thats bursting into life


all that i am
all that i ever was
its here in your perfect eyes
they're all i can see
i don't know where
confused about how as well
just know that these things
will never change for us at all


if i lay here,
if i just lay here,
would you lie with me,
and just forget the world
