Dumpy



January 2, 2014

Yikes! Where did the dumps come from and how did I get down in them? Organizing and storing Christmas decorations tends to being the end of the year down to a new level.

Choosing to refocus, I created a basket within reach, to stockpile notes of the wondrous things that happen to me throughout 2014 as I tend to forge forward, forgetting just how fabulous my world can be. I have been touched or inspired then projected soon afterwards into what isn’t working, and off I wander again, to seek the illusion, and focus-on what I don’t have.

Attempted to pull on a pair of freshly-laundered jeans and, alas, the waistband has shrunk so much so, I cannot button nor zip the darned things. One of the elves must have replaced my old jeans with these wonderful lookalikes, to rouse and reward me in the future, when the jiggle ‘round my middle is diminished. Ah, those gloriously mischievous little people. I could just squeeze them.

A clump of bags, baskets, boxes stuffed with items my precious wee one is moving back to her pad this afternoon loom in the livingroom. They remind me of the fun-filled days we spent together since her fall finals.

In the anticipated year ahead, with great health and well being at the top of the list, I wish all of you joy, refreshing travels, and riches.

Happy Birthday to my niece. Twenty-six years ago today, I was skiing in Sun Valley, Idaho, when I heard of your birth. Celebrate!
