Hello, Friends,

As most of you know, I have been caring for my mom the past two weeks.  I get the chance to write when my daughter kicks me up to my office 🙂  Lately, the words aren’t there, as exhaustion has all but taken over the day to day.  I am trying to read as many of you as I can, but I’m finding that a bit overwhelming as well.  I so miss all of you and your beautiful words.  It will be weeks until I am able to come back on a regular basis, but I know you’ll all still be here.

Thank you to everyone who commented and personally messaged me about Mom.  Your support through all things simply amazes me and I love you all for it.  And thank you for continuing to read my somewhat sporadic poems.  This really is a great family ❤

Until then,

❤ Dorinda

Ill-be-back

Good morning my friends,

On Thursday evening, my daughter was rushed to the hospital, with severe chest pains.  She is still there, with, at this time, an unknown diagnosis.  They have been running test after test, some coming back with alarming results.  She is 26.  I will be taking a break from blogging, and social media, with an unknown return time.  My family will always come before my words.  So, off I go, with a simple request….please keep my daughter, Alyssa, in your thoughts….

Thanks

Dorinda

A Weekend Rest, family time, life, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, relaxation, rest, summer, taking a breaK

I’ll be taking weekends off
To give my brain a rest
So when I come back
To share my words
I’ll simply be my best

The summer days are calling
It’s time to soak up sun
Relaxing with my family
Until the day is done

Enjoy it now, my dear friends
How summer really flies
Then days grow short and cold again
And you have to wonder why

You forgot to stop and breathe a bit
The time just slipped away
Catch it now, while you still can
Go outside and play!!
