Impromptu meetings with long distance friends are lovely. Last evening we got to visit with Kat and Drew...they make my heart happy.
This morning, beauty mingled with sadness. I was waiting in the car for Joe, at a work site, when up over the mounds of new construction dirt, a deer leaped. I was awed by its grace on the uneven ground, and watched it run for places unknown. As I sat there thankful for the unexpected treat, I saw movement in my peripheral vision. Another deer appeared on the same mound of dirt, and as it crested the hill, I saw that it had an injured front leg. It would take a few steps, pause, pant, and then continue it's journey. There was still beauty in the struggle, but a sense of desolation as well.
So in this melancholy state, I begin my day.
About Me
- tomirose
- I'm a wife of a wonderful man, mom to three awesome children. I like to laugh, encourage, and I would love to write. I think community is a wonderful thing, and I'd like people to be less cynical about church, not THE church, but the institution that we call the church. I think soul patches, piercings and tattoos are kinda cool; attitudes are not. Sometimes I lie in bed and think about weird things.. like why I like the taste of bubblemint gum, but despise the taste of our youngest son's bubblemint flavored toothpaste, or if our older children have already met their future spouses, how amazing it is that I've been married to the same man for thirty-two years, and why dryer lint looks the way it does. I hate having cold feet, being too hot, and stubbing my pinkie toe. I like to read pretty much anything but angsty poetry, well no I lied..not about the angsty poetry, but I don't much like to read biographies either. Laundry is the bane of my existence, along with cleaning out the refrigerator, and just plain cleaning.
