A Girl and Her Dog


Big black lab puppy
New red harness
Old red leash

Mommy,
May I hold the leash
Red relinquished

Bossy mommy
Everyone frustrated
Control relinquished

Girl walking dog
Little and big
Moving happiness

Too Much

Not now.
I can't.
I need to go. . . .
Things heard too often in my home these last weeks of summer.

Multitasking mom. Meetings and teaching and callings. Bone weary soul.

I counted my commitments for the school-year months after a meeting last night--9 probably 10 when you add PR or fund raising. When will I play? When will I study the faces of my children?

My life needs to be slower. I don't want to miss it all.

My life needs to be simpler. I want to enjoy it.



Would you like to join me in this journey of heart questions?
