Defrosting Hands

 It's just that 

maybe I don't see the potential in me that you already talk about as if it exists

as much as I see the potential in you that is ever so present

all the while you think I'm encouraging you

as you are my wings

maybe that's what it is

maybe not

but I look at you looking to me

and when I sit down I wonder

about the way God weaves us together

to show us who we are

in the best eyes

that are yours for me

and maybe mine for you

Maybe I don't understand or haven't had much time to give it some thought

but as I look at my children I know it must have been his plan

how beautiful it has made mine

so I give thanks for what I understand and ask for clarity about what I do not. 

The Climbing Rose

 It's when the rain rolls in that I stay inside

To remind myself to quiet my mind and listen to the drops all around. 

The peace and solitude is as refreshing as the garden growing greener

What will I do with all of these plants and no plans to plant them?

I still long to watch them grow.

The climbing red rose shrivels with the rain and I notice a new bud in it's infant phase

It's going to take some time to watch it bloom but it'll be as beautiful as the sound of nothingness outside.

World Cup (Men) 2026

 According to Fifa.com, "The next World Cup will return to being played in the traditional period, between the months of June and July. The World Cup final date has been set as Sunday, 19 July, with the opening match due to take place on Thursday, 11 June."

USA World Cup venues include: "Most of them (11) are located in the USA: Seattle, San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Miami, Boston and New York New Jersey."

I would like to request as many tickets for Los Angeles games as possible.

Good Yesterday Great Today

 The quiet of the morning rises like the sun.

Radiant with the sounds of singing birds

It brings with it a fresh start, a new day for living

The roses reach towards the sky 

And suddenly yesterday has been washed away

It's when yesterday was good we look forward to today.

Peel and Stick Wallpaper for Boy Room

 I've been looking at ways to preserve the environment in our home due to my sons ability to destroy and these peel and stick wall papers seem to be a good answer for improving the space without the fear of it being permanently destroyed. I like these 2 wallpapers together as far as I can tell.

I miss my pair of New Balance running shoes I had a long while ago. I most definitely want another pair like this one.
