  • A Reset

    Sometimes we need a reset. Time away from the ‘everyday’ and having different scenery to fill the senses as well as a break from the daily routine.

  • I miss you- Your happy, wide smile, Your dancing eyes, Wisdom of the years; Words unnecessary. I miss your caring embrace; I was well esteemed; Now -I am invisible. Grief upon grief – You said no ‘goodbye’. I’d send you smiles – Enough for a lifetime If I knew that you would see them. They…
