the earth will bloom come spring no matter how wild the world becomes she’ll be here long after we are gone deep peace to you

A bit of sunshine…warmer temperatures…a brief glimmer of spring in the wings…it’s reassuring to know that we can count on the seasons. The earth will continue to turn, the sun will rise at dawn, warming us throughout the day and the moon and stars will light the night sky while we sleep. Nature is my go to glimmerer. Constant, rhythmic, fierce, powerful, she never fails to inspire me.
Peace, Love, and Glimmers to you. If you’re feeling stressed, never underestimate the healing power of a simple walk amidst the trees…or around the block.
Sometimes it really is the little things that matter most. Like today. It’s Friday, it’s payday…TGIF…I had several fellow employees repeat this sentiment to me throughout the day. We’re all hanging by a thread it seems. But little glimmers of this truth remind me that there is still so much to be grateful for. Grateful.…and celebrating the small stuff. No sweat!
Peace, Love and TGIF Glimmers to you. Let the breathing commence!

I love a good rain. The sound of it on my metal roof. The occasional lightening flash. The rumble of thunder. This morning gave us a good rain. Cool, cleansing, the air fragrant, smelling of wet soil and green. It was enough to help me forget, even if only for a moment, the chaos happening in the world. I needed a reason to celebrate today.
We had a really good rain this morning. Spring is just around the corner. Nights are getting shorter, days are growing longer! Wow!!! I carried this joyful feeling with me as the day grew heavy. It helped to remember normal in moments of overwhelm.
You may not be a fan of rain. But there is likely something that brightens your mood and lightens your step. Pay attention. Make a mental note when those glimmers grab you, and tuck that feeling in your pocket to keep you throughout the day. More than ever we need to celebrate every good thing and tiny victory. It’s a win-win especially when you feel like an underdog.
Peace, Love, and Glimmers to You. Did I happen to mention this morning’s rain storm to you? Ohhh… it was glorious! 😊
‘twas nothing personal, you lied it was your right to choose a side but that’s the problem, don’t you see your choice, your win, affected me ‘cause we don’t live in normal times our future teeters on the line and freedom is a fragile thing a president is not a king you cast a witless, selfish vote informed by lies, disdain for woke I thought I knew you, I was wrong you chide me now to get along it saddens me, I feel betrayed the price is high, this choice you made I can’t agree to disagree there’s nothing to discuss you see I must now work to set things right I’d hoped you’d join this holy fight already there is hell to pay the world will know the truth one day and you will too, one day you’ll see that no one wins if all aren’t free

Since this all started just a few weeks ago, something has been brewing in me. Deep disappointment in family and friends who voted for the chaos we’re now experiencing are gloating now…cheering on the cruelty, delighting in owning the libs. I tried to tell them things would be bad. They dismissed me as a sore loser. But even I am floored by how bad things have gotten in such a short time with no check in place and no end in sight. My wife and I are shoring up for what might be coming. Gathering our important papers, planning a consult with an attorney to shore up our partnership should this government cancel our marriage of 25 years, 17 of them semi legal on …off..the on again legal. We’ve experienced the hostility that comes from good ‘Christian’ folks who consider it a sin to serve us in restaurants or to treat us with compassionate care in hospital emergency rooms. I’m trying to keep my wits about me. Preparing for the worst hoping for the best. We just want to live out our last years in peace.
But as I said, the fact that people I know and love voted for this has troubled me. This may not be a typical glimmer, but writing is a healing release for me. Putting the words down in a poem lifted a weight off of me and in a small way gives me strength to press on. I share it here because I have learned that I am often not the only one feeling these emotions. And so I’m reaching out to you, if you’re feeling it too, to let you know you are not alone.
Peace, love, and glimmers to you.

P.S. You are not alone. In case you needed one last reminder.
how are you doing? four words that are everything especially when I don’t have the answer thank you friend…I’ll let you know

Honestly, I have no words. I’m sorry world. America has gone mad. But there were glimmers still. A friend sent me the text above late last night. I saw it this morning. It meant a lot when I read it…and even more as this day has progressed.
Today’s message…be a glimmer for someone. Reach out. You never know how a simple hello can change a person’s day.
