Happy New Year

It feels like an ice pick is
being jabbed
in to my eyebrow,
but in case I forget
later I need to jot down
a few notes.
I'm getting rid of some old
so there can be room
for the new to step in.
I see how far I've
moved beyond myself,
and the quirks that
have stayed with.
I wonder how all those
pictures are going to
turn out.
It felt really cool
to by a bike pump
cause I need it.
And as my niece says
now too: "For reals."
The world has been
going by in a blur,
but moments of
the clarity, when
the air sparkles
with magic, have
been occuring
more frequently.
It's at a point
where, although
how hard I try,
I can not ignore it.
I'm enjoying
meeting some
amazing beings,
and connecting
with old ones.
I didn't

want to leave

my mother.

My tears welled up
when I made
eye contact
with my sister
one last time
before I turned
to leave.
I was reminded
about the depth
of true
unconditional love.
I must be a good
role model for my neice...
oh wait... I already am one.
I need to not forget that,
and always lead by example.
Sometimes the example
is sexy.
More often it is down right goofy.
Even better is when they are
the combination of both.

My head continues spin,
so I must away to beauty sleep,
a lazy day filled with pampering
and loving myself.

I am thankful and grateful for a
Happy New Year.
