weaving a summertime dream~

 in darkness i dreamed

of the spring and summer months

time spent lingering through the farmers markets

picking the produce

tasting the sweets

and filling my bag full plum full of treats

somewhere along the line

i drifted from markets

to a bag of overflowing adventures

just large enough for a weekend getaway

within a ball of tangled twine...i weaved a summertime dream of mine...i could see the brightness of light...i could feel the warmth beaming from our golden sun...i could hear his voice as he says now and we gleefully oblige...with bag in hand i gathered our things...we hop in our truck knowing where the road will lead will be that of newness...unplanned and always unknown as that is the manner of him...we wind around curvy roads and over the hills to places that seem untouched by another...we inch our way toward the mountain side until we find a river that lie...and out we go...bag in hand...a sense of peace rushing over us...knowing we are exactly where we belong that day...in some forgotten place...where no one else is surrounding our space...a moment in time...to sit in the silence of the glowing hot sun and live within that summertime dream

 

Louisa May Alcott Once Said:

"We all have our own kind of life to pursue, Our own kind of dream to be weaving, And we all have the power to make wishes come true, As long as we keep believing."

a wishful kind of day~

a thousands wishes

i have been wishing for

a thousand wishes

i will continue to hope for

but on this day  

i wish a wish just for her

a wish for good health be hers this day

a wish for strength as she endures another surgery

a wish for a painless recovery

a wish she will be able to quickly move on from this stage

a wish for the start of the next part of her journey

a wish that one day so very soon this will all be just a thing of the past

 

de~compressings~

summer has been here

but we have not

 

our days have taken captive over our time outdoors

without much thought

i woke saturday

and said we need to go

_DSC4846 edit 1.jpg

i needed out

i needed to be wrapped in the warmth of summers sun

i needed to breath the freshness the sweetness of air

_DSC4850 edit 1.jpg

i needed to clear my mind

i needed to pretend just for a moment that there is nothing

_DSC4860 edit 1.jpg

i needed to be surrounded by the beauty of life thriving 

i needed to be apart of nature in its flourishing moment

heres to savoring one of summers day


M.J. Durkin once said: 

"Breathe in the fresh air of the freedom to create your own mood rather than the stale air of being a prisoner of circumstance."
