A Little Tenderness
All this time he’s standing by me, eyes big and round, waiting for me to trade my tears for hope, or at the very least, a smile.

What a tender soul and true little gentleman. I would love to fast-forward so I could see his future. I bet he carries a clean hankie for damsels in distress. I’m glad he helped bring some sunshine for you.

You have to wonder what a little person like that is thinking. What propelled him to come over to be of service, as wee as he was.

SB,
January is the worst. Except for February. I say we trade these couple of months to the highest scrap heap bidding kingpins and let March roar us into spring.
As for your little angel, that fella has quite a future in romance ahead of him.
Keep your chin up, young lady. 🙂

I was feeling rather ill yesterday, and the weather being so fucking cold only made the misery index that much worse. I hate being cold when I’m feeling lousy.

I know. Me too. I ran early and boy, was it cold but was happy to be in flight. Even the raccoons were indoors.

Oh man, Susannah… January and February are the worst as Marc said. March gives us some hope but usually dumps the worst of the snowstorms. Bring me April (besides being my birth month, is actually when we, north of you, finally see signs of spring.)
That little angle – I’ve no words. I agree with his dad; he is an old and very caring soul. Some girl will be very lucky one day…
Sending you some warmth and smiles and I’ll make sure Wednesday is particularly sunny, k?

Mostly, I believe we have all done this before. Different souls remember different amounts and things. It all works out perfectly. You needed a good cry followed by hope. I am hopeful that I get to do this again, but know more when I start out. I am very happy now, but did spend a lot of time crying over the years about things that, mostly, don’t matter now.

There truly are angels among us and I like what was posted in these comments…everything that’s good, is God…I like that and believe it. I had many crying spurts during the holidays…Michael was all over me and I so wanted to be wrapped in his warmth. Had no angel to gallantly lift me with such kindness as you were gifted. I read this recently; “a great attitude becomes a great mood which becomes a great day which becomes a great month which becomes a great year which becomes a great life.” Spring will come but I’m making the best of each day…today I’ll make it good. There is love and as my favorite song goes…Love Changes Everything…it does even if we must search for it. Have a good one Susannah…hugs ‘n love to you my friend.
