12.23.14 Still with love for the season

Photo: It's been a quiet day and a rainy day and an overcast day, with sudden moments of clearing; as friends connect a bit, kids drop off dogs to go play with friends, adult style, the tree becomes dressed, lights appear round windows; various projects get predictably shelved, goals streamlined, bedtime comes early, each year more simple and sane than the last, still with love for the season and all the holidays it holds, and within it all, appreciation for the chance to live this life.

It's been a quiet day and a rainy day and an overcast day, 
with sudden moments of clearing;
 as friends connect a bit, kids drop off dogs to go play with friends, adult style, the tree becomes dressed, 
lights appear round windows; 
various projects get predictably shelved,
 goals streamlined,
 bedtime comes early,
 each year more simple and sane than the last, 

still with love for the season 
and all the holidays it holds, 
and within it all, 
appreciation for the chance to live this life.
