January is bringing us rain,
this year, this week.
It turns out,
I’ve never had the ability
to figure this out
on my own.
January is bringing rain.
For once, I feel ready.
Mother Earth is full of trickery.
Grass and dirt are enswathed in cold.
They’re snug and safe under billowy snow.
Last year fled
dragging my lifeboats and sinking ships
after it.
Sinking ships and lifeless lifeboats, unbeknownst to me,
wore through my ankles
with their unyeilding deadweight.
It’s no wonder why
I have aching feet.
A good friend
spoke to my better side.
I’m learning to lean
into the familiar
unfamiliarity of a stranger,
to trust her welcome unknown.
I’m well into January.
Here comes the unexpected rain.
I’m ready.

Honestly 💕 I’m grateful you don’t, too. Luckily, I have been graced with an office snow day. They closed the office due to the ice rain we’re getting so I get to stay safe at home. I’m grateful as I be could not afford snow tires this year. My clients live in higher elevation so driving in snow is not fun 😔. I’m glad to be home. How’s your little one? Awwww

Oh nice! I’m glad to hear that you were able to work from home because of the crummy weather. Agreed, driving in snow is not fun. And it can be dangerous, especially without snow tires. My little one is doing well. She had a tongue and lip tie release last week so has been adjusting to being able to more fully use her mouth. It’s been a bit of an adjustment, but she’s been improving and seems like she’s in less pain (and is crying way less).

Aw I’m glad she’s healing well ❤️🩹😊 😊 . Precious babe ❤️ I will keep her in my prayers as she heals . Yes 🙌 I was happy not to drive with this weather . The temp is supposed to warm up as the week goes on. That will help the ice thaw a bit haha 😂😆. Be safe 😊
