Oh, Dear

Is anyone else overeating?
Oh, dear, (deer) we are too.
Is anyone else so glad to see Trump GO AWAY?

Oh, you betcha!!!!
Is anyone else hopeful for our new administration?
Is anyone else enjoying the small comforts 
of hearth and home
as they hunker down 
and stick close to their Covid bubble?
Oh, dear, we are too.

Is anyone spending time reminiscing?
Is anyone else lonely?
Is anyone else missing their friends?
Oh, dear, we are too.
Thanks to all of you who stay in touch.



Is anyone else taking walks and enjoying the beauty of nature?





Is anyone else finding ways to be playful?
Oh, dear, we are for sure!
Spread your wings and try it!
Is anyone else crafting?
(Mom's hands are sore from sewing
but she's having fun following the creative flow.)
Is anyone listening to some good tunes?

Is anyone oversleeping?
  + =
Is anyone else missing traveling?
Is anyone else sending letters to friends and family?

Oh, dear, (deer) please do!
Is anyone else finding the pandemic puzzling?
Oh, dear, we are too.

Is anyone else soothing themselves through window shopping?

Is anyone else tired of football?
Oh, dear, we are too.
Is anyone else feeling a little on edge lately?
Is anyone wasting time worrying?
Oh, dear!!!!
PLEASE 
don't!!!!
It is toxic and won't help one bit. 

Is anyone else finding some rough patches along their path?
Oh dear, we are too.
Mom went to go ice skating and all she found was pile of bumpy ice.
Is anyone else reading anything?

Is anyone else spending too much time in front of a video screen?
Mom rewatched one of the classics! 
Did you remember there was a squirrel in it?
(FYI: National Squirrel Appreciation Day is January 21!)

Is anyone else donating to any causes, nonprofits or the Arts?
Is anyone else HORRIFIED by the Capital insurrection?
Oh, dear, we are devastated.

Oh, Dearest,
It's a new year.
What are you going to fill it with?
Service? Selfishness?
Worry? Joy?
Nature? Junk?
Culture? Anger?
It's your choice.
Only you can fill your day 
with moments that glow
from sunrise to sunset.

~PAWS a moment to make plans for tomorrow. 
What are you looking forward to doing?
(Mom and Dad are looking forward to 
tucking into this box of chocolates!)

P.S. Send Valentines to some buddies.

  3. Magnus, this is Ivy here. I miss you sooo much! Thank you for including me in your blog this month! Your Mom is crafting up a storm. Do you help? Or supervise? Also happy to see the return of an appropriate amount of sweets to the blog (and you *led* with the best of them all... Reece's PB cups!!).
    Love, Ivy
