To Be Three



















This was Piper's day yesterday. Snow angels, snow eating, cookie batter, analyzing cupcakes. My day... Being in wonder of what it would be like to be her. Easy easy. I wish I could go back to childhood when the goal of my existence was met through senses and instant thoughts, no logic, no pragmatics, no abstracts. Just here and now. No to-dos. No responsibilities but assigning cupcakes to loved ones and making sure I don't miss a lick on the beater filled with dough. Not to mention the freedom to dress like a gypsy, even when playing in the snow. Maybe someday I can live life that simply, but for now I will still try to capture her in those moments so one day she can reflect on them and find some perspective if she is overwhelmed, lost or too busy to enjoy the things in life that are all that matter. Like I am doing when I watch her.

And yes.. let's all the morn the moving on from the skull and crossbones background. So sad and yes I hesitated to change it out of clinging to the familiar, but all things come to pass with time and my work flow is such that I prefer it to flow the same way as my other blog. Most apologies skull gal-although remnants are visible at top to show my respect for the time that you gave me.

I seriously wish I was still asleep, but I woke up when Jake was off for the day early and in trying to be quiet I ended up experiencing a Mac attack.
