January Collage of Moments

The moments of January.


Spunky nieces. 
Family roadtrips.
Having firm boundaries...and then crossing them.
A speedy recovery.
Being home.
Taking a deep breath.
Skiing right out my back door.
The warmth of a purring cat at my feet.
The power of a poem to put everything into perspective.
The sound of skis gliding through snow.
Teenagers reminding me how fun it is to be silly.
The warmth and sustainability of a woodburning stove.
A surprise visit for a former student, now in college.
The love of my life, born thirty-six years ago.
The freedom of finishing college applications.
A steaming cup of coffee on a cold winter's day.
My brother.
Seeing the reflection of the heights in the present moment.
All day ski dates with my sweetie.
Finding gnomes in unexpected places.
People who dedicate their lives to peace.
The calm silence that painting can bring.
Stripes.
Right this minute now.
The first morning light painting the sky.
The perfect beauty of mathematics.
My classroom.
The power of prayer flags.
Waking up slowly and feeling the softness of the bed around me.
A true friend.
Being a Mama.
The perfect beauty of mathematics.
