leftunspoken's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanksgiving 2005 Dear God, Thank you for: DarlingDear; kisses (even when I haven't shaved in a week, have spit-up in my hair, and smell like milk); soft blue/green eyes to look into; someone to swim with so I'm not afraid of nonsensical imaginary sharks in the pool; being told I'm beautiful even though I still have six lbs to lose and everything is way jigglier than it used to be; SmooshyFace; ten fingers, ten toes; smiles; crying that only I can soothe; being wanted, and needed, and loved this much; the wonder; that 'baby' smell; his ears sticking out; the way it feels when he is asleep in my lap, curled towards me against my stomach, and he inhales and his soft little tummy pushes against me; laps; naps; orange leaves; iced coffee; sisters; hot showers; side walks still warm from the sun; bird houses; scarves; enough; crafts; blankets; rocking chairs; dr pepper; the middle of the night when everything is calm, and quiet, and soft; and most of all for this life...for this life full of endings, and beginnings, and questions, and answers, and perfect circles, and scary, beautiful magic. 11:32 a.m. - November 23, 2005 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
