• i noticed there were 26 more downloads of my short stories on Amazon Kindle
• i baked 3 cakes
• i wrote another story
• i decided to stop taking back my problems after giving them to God

Sometimes

I know God sees the big picture while we just see life in snippets, but sometimes those snippets are mighty heavy.

I need a hug, for someone (other than myself)  to tell me it will be okay.

Yes

I was smiling at you

the way I do

when I wake up before you-

                        I felt you;

your silky skin,

curved,

wrapped around-

There.

Against mine.

 Still,

holding on to me

Smiling.

Your eyes closed

& I wonder-

are you dreaming of me?

am I the main character in your dreams,

And am I loving on you

The way I do

When you’re not sleeping?

To be sure,

In your ear,

I whisper my name

and the smile grows wider.

and I have  my answer

:)

See, what had happened was...

I couldn't fall back asleep after a neighbor's car alarm went off, and so I baked a dozen Key Lime Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting,

and while they were baking, and then during the time I was waiting for them to cool off so I could frost them, I edited my short story The Elliptical.

Then I was able to sleep. 

Psalm 121 :1-2 KJV

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
² My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
