Make me smile…

written by Jana February 5, 2007

–three small pale-green pear-scented candles burning on a blue & white china plate on the table in front of me. fresh and lovely.
–celebrating john’s birthday in our own special way this afternoon. followed by an afternoon nap. waking up and finding tobyjoy curled into a small ball between our pillows. staring at john as he slept with his dark curls spilling across the white bed linens. and contemplating 18 years together. heavenly.
–eating leftover ‘tres leches cake’ in a bowl of cold milk for breakfast. oh-so-sweet and tasty (where are those fresh peaches when you really need them?)!
–wearing short sleeves because it is 80 degrees in SoCal today. time to get the seeds sprouting in my garden!

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
