The Nest

Every so often, I travel off the beaten path and find myself entangled in exciting adventures. Today was no exception to my travels. While out shopping I quickly became distracted by something off in the distance and soon found myself wandering off to wards it. Standing in the middle of the thorny brush, I soon learned I had been ensnared into the nest, lost within my thoughts and daydreams.

And I Think to Myself

During the day my thoughts are filled to the brim with any given number of items; work, people, media, what is happening around the world. These thoughts intrude my sleep most days, as my brain attempts to sort out their relevance and meaning. Information comes in and rarely leaves, it lingers in my thoughts always. Those around me often ask why I look tired or how do I know that and will comment that I need to shut my brain off some days, and I think to myself if only it were that simple. The only time I really find reprieve from my thoughts and the information overload I sustain every day, is when I find the time to sit and read a good book in the comfort of my home.

Memories of Yesterday

Slowly she walked into the house where her granddaughter lived, she was there to have dinner and visit with her great grandchildren. She looked forward to her weekly visits since it made her feel young and important again. This time the visit was different; this time she was not in the present, for she was lost in the past. She stood starring at the decor in the front entrance transfixed to the spot where she stood. She smiled watching the little ones pick up some toys and then looked over at her granddaughter, lost in her thoughts, she flashed a child like smile and asked if she could hear her momma play the violin. Her granddaughter looked at her, smiled back and simply nodded to her grandmother picking up the violin. Her mother use to play when she was a little girl; as her granddaughter began to play she swayed to the music. Her granddaughter never once corrected her, she just played and allowed her grandmother to have the moment lost within the memory of her mother.

Nothing Better than a Good Book

When my thoughts are heavy and weighed down, there is not much that can distract me from my worry, my pain, and my hurt. I seek out the comforts of a familiar friend and warm drink. The day moved at a slow pace and I longed to be home, curled up, lost within great conversation. The bell rang and I raced home not giving another thought to what troubled my soul as I changed into something more comfortable. I made my tea and headed for my comfort zone under the stairs where I sat with my old friend who could always bring me comfort when I needed it the most. I ventured off to find the lost world within the pages of my favourite book.

Intrigue

She had received the invitation in the mail from an unknown sender. She had read it several times admiring the detail and scrolling letters. She wrote the date on the calendar being sure to remember the event to take place. As stated in the invitation, the day before the event, a package arrived in the mail. Slowly she opened the box and admired its’ contents. The next evening she prepared her outfit and fixed the gift in place. Intrigue filled her as the driver opened the door motioning her inside the car. Soon she arrived at her destination and once more the driver opened the door. She climbed out and stood before the sea of hats looking her way. Further intrigued by the sight before she walked into the crowd and took her father’s hand wondering how he had managed to pull all of this together in honour of her mother’s garden.

Little Man’s Birthday!

Carefully my friend prepared the grounds for her guests. She wanted everything to be perfect and in the right spot. Looking around she smiled at how she had arranged the space. Tables were carefully decorated with balloons and every treat imaginable. Stools and chair were found loitering around tables or near the area where the kids would play games while the adults watched and idly chatted with each other about how life has been. I watched from afar waiting to be told what to do, eyeing the cupcakes that looked mouth watering delicious. All to soon I was stripped from my decadent daydream, as my friend cried out that everyone would soon be arriving. I gave her a nudge and reminded her that it wasn’t every day that your little man turns one, which made the others around snicker as she trotted off to get the birthday boy from his slumbers.

Love is in the Laundry Room

Standing in the laundry room, I quietly hummed myself as I sorted out the piles of dirty belongings preparing them for the wash. Emptying pockets removing toys, crayons, rocks, and money I smiled at each piece that was forgotten in the pocket. Each item was cherished by the owner which made me smile at some of the oddities found within their pockets. My mother use to say that love is in the laundry room and I often wrinkled my nose looking at her and the daunting chore that never seems to end. It wasn’t until I had to empty the pockets and see the treasures my children keep. Love is in the laundry room waiting to be reclaimed by those who hold on to it.
