Cold. Brilliant light. Floating ice along the shore.
Today is a day of gratitude for the essentials: heat, water, able to be home, see the beauty from the windows.
I’m always grateful to the people who keep everything running in all kinds of weather.
I tried an acrostic:
C old and time to
O pen books, new and old
L oved and saved – for a
D ecember day
From the archives:
ice floating
in rose-colored water
some days
feeling old
some young
Hope you have a good weekend, Ellen
