I'm winding down a wind-down weekend.

I'm winding down a wind-down weekend.
.
Nothing dramatic.
.
Or awe inspiring.
.
Mostly Ordinary.
.
Which,
.
for me,
.
is happily
.
more than enough
.
these days.
.
.
.
.
Still, there are some things I want. More and more, for longer and longer: I want to be content exactly and fully where I am. I want to look back no longer with sadness but with gratitude. I want my friend Renee to be comfortable. I want Angelina and her brothers to be adopted. I want my knee to stop holding me back. I want to walk my mile and a half again each day with Stella and my pen and moleskine. I want the US Congress to stop acting like A--holes. (sorry). I want to be able to tuck my tee-shirts in. I want volunteerism to catch on like wild fire. I want Jessica to have every single thing she needs for all of her life. And JB and Mr. Ryan and Drew and Mike too. I want love to be in high fashion and stay that way. I want world peace. I do. I want world peace. ♥
Love

KJ, beautiful, very beautiful post. This is so the best wishes ever!

Lovely things to wish for, and Kj, you can tuck in your T-shirts now :-), no one cares and if they do, who cares :-).
ReplyDeleteFly on over and let's have a cup of that coffee.
xoxo ♥
Aaah,
ReplyDeleteNectar of the gods,,,,one more cup please and thank you,,no no, just black, thanks.
Actually, I think that must be a requirement to be a US Congress member,,,,
Mostly ordinary is good. Very satisfyingly good,,,,,,,,
'raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens', it's the simple things in life we all crave, the rest is just garbage. may you get what your heart desires sister.
ReplyDeleteannie, i can't tuck in my teeshirts due to my own vanity. :)
ReplyDeletebabs, you are a wise woman on all counts. :)
soulbrush heart sister, how true. and bottom line i think it's about relationships, connections, and creativity (substitute passion for any of these) ♥
Wanting what you have, contentment, love, health, peace. What better life could there be?
ReplyDeletecs, it's the wanting what you have part that trips me up.... :)
ReplyDeleteOh KJ KJ KJ
ReplyDeleteyou rock it sideways, you do, honest. I lovey lovey love this post. thats one of my favorite things about you, you know, is how i think i am going to comment on the first post i come to, but then i keep reading down down down, and just like that moment when you see the perfect kitten at the pound or ice cream at the creamery (you know the ones that burn more calories allowing you to wear shirts tucked in) or sparkly shiny pretty just for you, i just know i have to comment on how happy this one made me, cuz obviously, you wrote it just for me. And i thank you.
