to do or not to do
much ado to do
and a list too long to count
honey do’s are due

Feeling silly today. I’m not sure what or why. There seems to be plenty of lunacy tonight. There is snow on the way on the eve of the full snow moon. Serendipitous I say. ❄️😊❄️ And it would seem Mother Nature is making good on her agreement with Punxsutawney Phil to drag winter out another 6 weeks…whatever. I’ve got things to do or not.
Peace, Love, and Glimmers to you!

TGIF
It’s Friday
Nine to five ends now
time to breath
~kat
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!

a good rain
beautiful cool rain
drenching earth where seedlings rest
anarchy at bay

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! 😊

I took a break from my day job today after a busy weekend. Well…not a true break. There were household chores that needed tending. We call them staycations. Not very vacationy, but there is a certain satisfaction in having time to vacuum, mop floors and clean and change the bed linens. I feel accomplished. The world and its crazies continued their mad dismantling of democracy, but here in my world I did manage to sleep in and snuggle with my little dog this morning.
She’s come a long way from the mange-infested, hairless rat-like mutt we welcomed into our home. She had been abused and tossed with 3 puppies into a kill box at a Texas pound. Her puppies were quickly scooped up by new families. But she needed a bit more TLC. She was terrified of the dark, mean, and not at all the snuggly lap dog we imagined. That was 6-1/2 years ago. Today, she is never far from view. Loves going for walks and rides in the car. She still has an occasional mean streak, and the dark still bothers her. But she is a testament to what patience, love, care, respect, and safety can do for a broken little soul. It takes time, but transformation is possible.
I think about how mean people are these days. It makes me sad. Fear and anger makes them vulnerable to every slick con artist who promises to ease their deep pain. I certainly can’t fix them. But I can be kind, respectful and patient. If enough people do the same thing for these lost, broken souls I wonder if maybe, just maybe they could begin to heal.
Like my little dog Gabby. She is not the same dog we brought home. She still carries a bit of baggage…don’t we all?! But one thing I do know…she is finally able to be who she was meant to be. A diva, spoiled rotten, and my heart and an Angel sent to teach me patience. 💚
I hope you too have the privilege to know a glimmer like Gabby in your own life. Peace, love and puppy glimmers!

rain fell dawn to dusk
the sky mute in shades of gray
healing for the soul

TGIF. I may sleep in tomorrow. Or not. Exhaustion never rests when the sky is falling.
peace, love, and glimmers…even muted in gray glimmers, to you.
