1430 A TIME TO REJOICE ... A TIME TO REST, REFLECT AND REVITALIZE, ANEW

In the aftermath of our holiday weekend, which stretched into a week of family festivities, transforming our home into a cup that runneth over with people we love, yesterday saw me making my last airport run, as David, who had been first to arrive, was last to fly back to the coast.  Then, I returned home with plans to recreate some semblance of order since every room looked like a funnel cloud had swirled through it, and once that task was behind us, Will and I both collapsed on the living room couch, feeling colds coming on, as it's highly likely that once our non-stop creation of happy memories had depleted our energy tanks, our immune systems' resistance to infection had exhausted, as well.  And now, with common sense suggesting that my think tank, along with the rest of me, is in need of vegging with a hot cup of tea, I'll post this next heartwarming photo while hoping that this year's Thanksgiving holiday offered you and yours reason to add to your collection of happy memories, too - Achoo!
My precious parents were about the same age in this photo as
Will and I are, right now
Holy smokes—where have the years gone???
I mean, seriously—today's train of thought leads me to reflect on this fact:
Life is more fleeting than the young can fathom
Suggesting that, as we age and the days of our youth, somehow
Disappear into thin air, common sense guides us to make the most of
Each magical moment that strengthens our spirits by
Sweeping every speck of undeserved guilt out of our minds
And having done exactly that, I often find myself reflecting thankfully
Over trains of intuitive thought that continue to spark
New strings of insight, which inspire my smarts to fully embrace
Every opportunity that offers my cup reason to runneth over with love, which
Revitalizes my spirit with pleasure so personally rewarding as to
Offer my mind reason to enjoy an ever deepening sense of
Peaceful repose now that latent anxiety, fully exposed, has been
Replaced with today's fully healed, rebalanced view of
My self image, at long last, and as I plan to post
Each next step of my intuitive path in hopes of approaching
Each next step that I choose to take into the great unknown while
Simultaneously encouraging your mindset to open and embrace
Leaps of faith that will expand your sights to create
Change for the better by welcoming every opportunity to pleasure your
Good hearted, smart minded, wholesome self, (once you, too, have
Quested within to free your subconscious of
Yesteryear's undeserved guilt), I hope that before too long
You, too, will have worked to exhume sound reason to see why
The strong spirited person whom you've chosen to
Grow up to be deserves to feel as wholly free of latent anxiety as
Has finally come true for me—and now tis time to
Relax on my swing with a cup of green tea while reminiscing, peacefully
