Never really been a morning person. I wake up usually to a cat wanting to be fed or let outside. I make coffee, eat some berries, maybe some toast and peanut butter. Then I sit quietly sipping my coffee, clearing my mind from any leftover dream imprints. I might pray, I might meditate, I might write…
How strange it was for me to read the theme for this weeks WordPress photo challenge. Two years ago this week we said goodby to my mother at her memorial service, and I have been reminiscing through the photos. I miss her, and my dad also. Never forgotten, they are always in my heart and thoughts.…
