A heavy NYC winter coat hanging from the hook
A jumbled mess of her favorite throws
and smooshed pillows on the couch.
and smooshed pillows on the couch.
I saw this first thing as I rounded the corner
into the den this morning.
Darling daughter is still asleep after working
into the den this morning.
Darling daughter is still asleep after working
until 3 am (6 am her time) on the computer last night.
I cannot explain why seeing these two sights made me well
up with tears, except to say...
She's Home
She's Home
Dearest Son arrives in one week.
His shoes, his jackets will be strewn everywhere.
He's Home
He's Home
I have a lovely roof overhead
Nourishing food in the pantry
Generous and loving friends
Glorious children
A holiday job I adore
Life is so good
..and the tears fall gently again
merry merry everyone
I pray you are as blessed

So, SO happy for you this morning, Z - and she looked fabulous and happy last night! Life IS good, dear friend...XOXOXOXOXOXO (Don't work too hard today)!
You are truly blessed as your family gathers round you snug in a warm home. I am blessed too, with family and a warm home and so many good things.
Such simple and beautiful things to shed those HAPPY tears over.
I love it when gratitude takes over my soul, and those tears slip down my cheeks.
Just reaffirming...all is well.
I am HAPPY FOR YOU
Blessings Sweet Friend! I know how you feel as my two older Girls have moved on and it's always nice to have them return.
Great to be Thankful and a lil reminder we all are blessed in one way or another.
Happy Holidays ~Cheers Kim

I often wonder if when I see my childs coat hung on the barstool edge, if I was the only one who grins and sometimes tears up.. Now I know I'm not the only one and it feels good not to feel so alone..
thank you for this post.
Oh Z, I love to hear you so happy. There is nothing like a good wallow in happiness!
Best feeling in the world is lying in your bed with your (grown) children sleeping in your house.
What a warm, cozy, calming post! I want to stay here ALL day :)
I KNOW! My darling daughter is home too, already I have tripped over her guitar case, moved her basket of laundry from where she dropped it at the front door, and smiled with tears at the sofa covered with her books and bags. Bliss!
Isn't being a mom the best!?
Wonderful! Hope your Christmas with those kids is full of fun and love...I know it will be! :)
Dear Suz, I hear you...it doesn't take much to make us happy when it comes to this...I am SO happy for you! Enjoy these precious times, they are fleeting....hugs, N.xo

my dearest, what more could a mom want!!!!!!
Although, when our Pete lived in his "dungeon", I could have killed him many times. But once they leave home.....and come back for an all too short visit, these days are forgotten.
So sweetie, enjoy them, spoil them, cuddle them (if they let you), and enjoy the most wonderful Christmas.
I also wish you a happy new year filled with whatever makes you feel happy.
Warm hugs,
Evi
What a lovely family...prayers for your pup...like you said one day at a time...My Princess was went blind...they do adjust. xxc
