On the days I am about to give up, this Gwendolyn Brooks poem gives me an anchor.
TO THE YOUNG WHO WANT TO DIE Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day. Death will abide, will pamper your postponement. I assure you death will wait. Death has a lot of time. Death can attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is just down the street; is most obliging neighbor; can meet you any moment. You need not die today. Stay here - through pout or pain or peskyness. Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow. Graves grow no green that you can use. Remember, green's your color. You are Spring.

The next four years are going to require irrational acts of bravery and solidarity. Lead with love.

Darkness arrives early like a distant relative with nowhere else to go. We sit in the living room waiting for the bread to rise. I read on the sofa in the lamp’s light while you sing “Stand by Your Man” with Loretta Lynn, sewing a hem into the second-hand dress you will, years from now, wear to your wedding.

my mom sent me this?
A golden retriever is looking at the camera holding a french baguette in his mouth. My Mom is standing behind him and my Dad is taking the photo.

missing my girl, Glep
Green-cheeked conure parakeet standing on the keyboard of a Macbook. She is staring at the screen while my Dad is Facetiming me. I am smiling back at the parakeet.

Deciduous trees, mainly oak, stand in a carpet of their old rust-colored leaves. A burning bush is center right and a lichen and moss covered rock is to the left.

A friend once told me to find one thing to look forward to during the day. Today I am excited to continue knitting my scarf. What are you looking forward to today?

Someone shared this with me, and I think it's beautiful. That's what I wish for everyone I love and appreciate in this New Year 2025, that your life is filled with an abundance of real luxuries. ❤️
