day 192: regeneration

With white fabric shades drawn I see shadows of tiny branches.  They are pushing and pushing hard enough to bud.  
I sit here in my lounging thinking chair as the last of the man cubs leaves for school, and I second guess days that I have struggled.  Maybe it is just in my memory that they were difficult.  

Nothing could detract from these few minutes right here and now, when I hear the little gold pendulum swinging in my black mantle clock.  When I feel my wet hair against my forehead.  When a handful of dishes from last night's dinner still rest on the counter.  

I am one of those regenerating branches I see through the shades.  Even now, in these middle years, I push.  I bud.  I come back.

ps  I am recording with a sweet young woman tomorrow for my Musical Monday post.

Isn't it an incredible gift that once difficult time have passed the pain can diminish? Nice reminder to take the time to enjoy the peaceful moments when they come.

It's moments like that that keep me sane during the rest of my life.

What a resonating, strengthening post: "I push. I bud. I come back."

Someone deleted a variety of links from uloz.to and zshare ...

From now, we will use www.tinyurlalternative.com as our main [url=http://www.tinyurlalternative.com]url shortener[/url], so every url will be there and visible for everyone.

You can pick out from several great [url=http://kfc.ms]short url[/url] names like:
