Hey There Shiny!

Shine
Which dark
To bright
Tiny candle
Small light
Heavy shadow
Weighs down
Flicker glows
Hope found
Time gone
Dark thine
Lit forth
Spark shine

I love a fresh start.

Reaching Beyond…Gina’s Favorites
by Gina Valley
As we step in to a new year, may we all reach and stretch and strive beyond where we stand.
May we all reach for what can be and what we can be.

Beyond
Looking
Thinking
Pondering
Wandering
Ever wondering
Ever drawing
Ever will be
Running
Skipping
Seeking
There

What do you plan to do differently this year than you have in the past? What do you plan to do the same? Are you glad 2012 is ending or wishing there was more time?

The Best Laid Plans
The Best Laid Plans
by Gina Valley
Sometimes the best things are the things you didn’t plan for.
Yesterday was set to be a nonstop, rush around try-to-do-everything-and-be-everywhere kind of day. I had kids competing in 3 different sports tournaments in 3 different cities. I’d had a doubly full week and still had a big pile to finish from it.
I made my schedule, stressing over only being able to see only part of each child’s tournament and needing to have perfect traffic conditions to do even that.

Peace
Trouble flown
Breath savored
Thoughts quell
Harmony sings
Hush spreads
Calm flows
Tranquil grace
Beautiful still

There’s something beautiful about quiet.
It’s a rare thing in my life. Probably in yours, as well. Even without children and spouses and pets,

Love
I stand alone and wait for you
Always
You are there
Thoughts of you sustain my breath
I am because of you
Tears come
You heal my soul
Joy springs
My spirit soars
Behind me trails of your beauty
Before me your light
Within me truth of you grows smiling
Hope flows through me
Always you
