Springtime in Chicago
Cold … Chilly … Warm … Hot … Cold
Thunder, lightening, crazy wind
Torrential rain and flash floods
Topped off with a bit of snow
Standing Request
If you stand to pee
Please lift the seat this I plea
Wet cheeks make me frown
Average Day
Inbox overflows
Clickity clack … send … repeat
Just another day
Past Present Future
Yesterday lingers
Today brings more and the same
Tomorrows brand new
Happy Anniversary
It is Anniversary Day!
Today is the day Another year passes by You bring me great joy

Tea Bag Thoughts
Some days a tea bag is both flavorful and filled with wisdom and inspiration. Today message was one of those days …
To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.Thank you Yogi Tea for reminding me today is going to be a great day.
Late Winter Chill
On the way home from dinner last night, I was reminded it was still winter in Chicago. I pulled hood of my jacket over my head and shoved my hands deeper into my pockets to endure the February chill. As my saunter turned to a brisk pace, creativity swirled about like the icy wind.
Outside I must go
Icy wind assaults and chills
Warm embrace awaits
Where has the time gone?
A flood of recent facebook messages after updating my Relationship Status prompted some nostalgia, followed by a bit of introspection. While lost in thought on the bus home, I realized I have allowed the whirlwind of the last two years to distract me from the many simple pleasures of life, including writing here.
I took a deep breath last night and stepped into the eye of the whirlwind. As the calm surrounded me, some clarity returned.
Whirlwind whips tick tock
Storm rages as time passes
The eye calm within
Today is a new day. Though the whirlwind still surrounds us all, I have a new eye focused on the present.
