Every Day It Is Always There

Every day it is always there

Whether in mind or body

Whether I want it to be or not~

Sometimes it's like being haunted

By a constant presence

Of sometimes happiness

Sometimes anger~

But it is always filled with love

That love is my protector.

That protector is my Mother.

Danelle, I was your age in this photo.  If  you remember, they had us strike a serious pose here.  It was a fun day dressing up in different outfits, and I was thinking of doing it again very soon, with the granddaughters included.

 

Dear daughters....haunt  your children pleasantly, so that you are beloved in their eyes.  So, that you are a teacher of good and decent things.  Make special memories with them, so that they will have charming stories to tell their own kids.  Haunt your children with endearment, just as your grandmothers have done to me. 

 

Some spooky looking pictures at the trail.
I woke up very early on Sunday,
even before the sun came up, and was on my way.

yet I will endure the darkness because

it shows me the stars."

We've had strong winds here in California, up to 85 mph. in some areas.  There is always a concern of fires when the winds are that fierce.  There are some happening right now in the north and south areas (not close to me), very scary.

It's a tradition of ours to get a jack-o-lantern pizza every year at Papa Murphy's.  Me and my son enjoyed it with coke.  ; )  He loves the football season.

It's a time to dress up.
