Hello Friends,
Many of you know that I had a major virus visit my hard drive not
too long after my last post on December 8th. What a tough time to be
without a computer! Thankfully, friends
shared their own living room (my neighbors) and a co-worker lent me her lap top
so I could at least communicate on my Facebook and receive regular e-mail until
my computer returned home. So, my blog
sort of took a vacation for a few weeks, but my mind did not. (well, I guess that is debatable…)
Please humor me while
I catch up with my last post for “Dia de las Muertas—an outstanding day of
family history, planned out by my Ancestral historian Sis. A story of Terra Cotta
Warriors and Christmas on Balboa Island in a pictorial narrative should be fun
and a few other Considerable Thoughts as we head into 2012. So, let’s get this ball rolling with this little
thought-- poetry style, I jotted down today as the sun beamed its warm rays on
my bare arms. By the way, here is a
Considerable thought, Happy and blessed New Year to all!
Winter Sizzle
Packing
it up, so jolly
The
Christmas Holiday folly.
January
turns the page;
A new
year to feel my age.
California
sky bright
No
clouds seem in sight.
Skin
tightens, so scratchy
A
little fog maybe, patchy.
Off
shore breeze predict,
Those
“Santa-Ana’s conflict.
Moisturizer,
Oh please!
Now I
begin to sneeze.
Sweater
today or boots?
No
turtleneck or snowsuit.
Shedding
any layers
When
I say my noonday prayers.
The
temp. today will rise
Eight-five
degrees, the high.
T-shirt
time so soon?
Still
five months ‘till June.
This
is Winter Sizzle.
Ne’r
thunderstorm or drizzle.
Sno
Cones instead of drifts;
Empty
seats on ski lifts.
Daffodils
are a poppin’
Through
the soil toppin’
Hybernation’s
slumber
Shorter
sleep days number.
So,
leave the Winter Blues
To
Chicago or Seattle Slews.
Blessed
to live in the warm.
Where
sandmen, not snowmen adorn.
