diamonds on the souls of her shoes....

sparkly gifts, canon 20 d
i spent the past few days in sunny florida,
surrounded by the love of my mom and her
dear friends. christmas night we celebrated by
watching the sun sink into the gulf...we laughed,
we danced, we dined... it was delightful...
for no reason and a hundred different reasons,
i have always dreaded this time of year.
this was the first time in a long time i felt
genuinely happy.
today i am back home, the snow if falling,
and my cats are curled up beside me.
my heart is full...
