Happy Tree Friends

Feeling dirty. I laid out a jogging suit, took a shower and shaved. Getting dressed, I kept looking at that room. A sense of joy filled my heart. I was revived. At 11:30pm, I proceeded towards finishing my mission. I commenced to scrub, cleaned, and organized every square inch of the rest of the house. Uniquely decorating each room as I went. Big red bows on the walls and windows. Christmas towels in the bathroom. A reindeer in a corral with white cotton poop on the back of the toilet. While I…

fired one up and began sipping on my toddy. Looking around thinking of anything I may have forgot, I remembered the 6 electric air fresheners I had purchased earlier in the month, they were under the kitchen sink in a bag. They had a smell of pine tree and cinnamon. I placed 1 in my son’s room, 1 in the bathroom, 2 in the kitchen and 2 in the front room. Then returned to the table to finish my break.

This presence in particular, is one of someone that is no longer living. “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep,” argues that a person doesn’t really disappear from the world after…

When it snows When it snows what comes to your mind? Maybe snow angels, maybe sledding, or hot chocolate. I love when it snows because I love winter. I like having to wear big jackets, scarfs, and boots. It usually feels like winter to me around the end of November or at the beginning of December. Snow makes me want to cozy up with a blanket in my warm pajamas and fuzzy socks and watch Christmas movies all day while drinking hot chocolate. In 2014 my family and I had a competition…
