/ January 13, 2013Thanks, Geoff…not so much a poem but an observation that I’m writing each day for the month of January for The Mindful Writing Challenge…they are called “small stones”. It’s sponsored by Writing Our Way Home blog.
Having a quiet evening tonight and then up early to watch baby Mira tomorrow. :)
Have a nice week! xoxo

/ January 13, 2013Oh, so lovely to look back on our daughters’ births and see the trajectory of their lives till today. Beautiful, Gayle. And now there is a brand new baby girl to enjoy.
Bodhirose
/ January 13, 2013Yes, such a special time. She’s turned into an amazing and accomplished young woman. And now it’s Mira’s turn!

/ January 14, 2013Lovely reflection — of your daughter. Have you shared it with her?
Enjoy your time with Mira as well. :D
Bodhirose
/ January 17, 2013Yes, I posted it on FB and she saw it there. She actually was gone all weekend to Savannah for her birthday but saw it when she posted some photos of her trip.
So loving my time with that little sweetheart…it’s the best. Thanks, Becca!

/ January 14, 2013How lovely. You created a poem to commemorate the daughter you created. :)
Bodhirose
/ January 17, 2013Well it was her birthday on the 13th so I was thinking of her…it made sense to make her the observation of my 13th stone. Lucky 13! :)

/ January 19, 2013Yes, lucky 13. :)

/ January 14, 2013I love that you looked back at your own daughter’s birth even as you are helping with your grandaughter. The fullness of the circle … Lovely, Gayle. :-) Thank you for sharing this.

/ January 17, 2013It’s hard not to. She reminds me so much of my two girls…even looks like them. It’s a lovely, bountiful, overflowing circle of devotion. I’m in my element, Jamie.
