Sammi, I chose a Prompt with a new perspective, “Emptiness”
A young friend has early onset dimentia. He’s always had depression issues, but this is much worse. As a long distance observer, I feel frustrated and helpless. I can’t imagine how he feels–I could never fully understand the depression either. He knows the blackness well, I’m sure he fears emptiness.

Very cold outside, don’t want to mosey
Need to get inside my home where it’s cozy
Neighbors are watching, certainly nosey
Wondering what’s in my coat, that’s okay, it’s posies
A surprise for my girl, she loves the roses
We all have neighbors, usually blowsy
Most of them are are considered prosy
But it bothers me not, everything’s rosy
When me and my girl get very cozy.

She woke at dawn. It was the day of the winter solstice, more importantly, her wedding day. Preparations hummed throughout the morning. She decided she would help with the most tedious task, perforating the paper poinsettias. The white petaled tussies would be the finishing touch for her two bridesmaids.
Everywhere she looked, was wedding paraphernalia. The caterers had reception tables set up with white tablecloths and florid ribbon bows, and red and white wine reminding everyone of the coming Christmas holiday. She and her fiancé had no immediate family, so looked forward to their first holiday together.
She had planned this day well, wanting it to last forever, thus the chosen date. The honeymoon would take place in a secluded cabin, far from any interruptions. She had visited this location, had everything prepared for their private, undisturbed week of romance. It had been a busy year and this ending and beginning in one, would be their reward.
He had picked the music for the reception, including their favorite song to be played for the traditional first dance. They both didn’t want to drop some of the wedding rituals of celebration. They danced, cut and served the modest cake and admired the gifts. They visited every guest and thanked them for coming and chatted appropriately. After she threw her bouquet to the crowd, they stepped into a limousine taking them to their mountain destination.
All preparations made resulted in a perfect wedding day. Both were looking forward to starting their new life together.

Always look forward
New year, new adventures
To celebrate life
The dream phase of the relationship
Time of promises made
Circle of love never ending
Arms entwined
Thinking forever
Innocent dreams
Dashed easily
By the essence of reality

Merry day after Christmas! Probably a lot of you are busy out in the throng of shopping the after Christmas sales, not me. It’s snow piled slippery streets and 4 degrees F, so definitely not me. Even after a heater warmed five minute car ride home last night I could not get my legs and feet warmed up. Luckily I was so tired I fell asleep anyway.
It’s time for ceenphotography‘s Share Your World questions, so here they are with my answers:
1. What caring thing are you doing for yourself today?
I am dressing nicely, donning pretty sparkly earrings, and joining my family for a beautiful day.
2. List at least five of your favorite spices.
Sage, basil, chili, cinnamon, ginger, almond
3. What can you always be found with?
My backpack of supplies, phone.
4. What inspired you this week?
My middle son. He was always the first one up on Christmas morning, and yesterday was no exception. I received a call at 6:30 and woke to his message of thanks for their gifts. T and his wife live a couple of hours away, and F’s parents visiting from Paris, were there for Christmas. What a treat. Meeting them for the first time at the wedding a few years ago was a wonderful experience. Even though we didn’t speak French and they didn’t speak English, F is a professional interpreter so we did fine.
Thanksgiving we laughed so much with T and F, made our day. He is a rewarding son and they are a loving couple. I remember him in high school telling me that he was going to have a successful, in a suit, carrying a briefcase job. ☺️He started working at fifteen and was favored with a first job experience with a great boss. The principles he learned from that man have remained. I’m very proud of him.

Sometimes spouts my history
However bland it be
Looking for fresh adventures
