i offer up:





















is my joy so small?
a question, not mine, but one i keep on the chalkboard by the phone. sometimes i forget to ask myself, and i find anger everywhere. other times, my cup overflows and i find the question quaint.


in christmas, in memories, in the new year
and in the now, i hope to find my joy is
not so small.


and for all of you, we wish no less than a
joy large enough to carry you.

happy holidays.


jen, joe, joey
and in peace,
isaiah

There are days I ask a simliar question, "Can you even believe...?" fill in the blank with whatever it is that is tearing at my heart. These things are more often than not the good things and they help me know what makes my life good. The "bad" things have their reason too, I guess they make bear hugs and tickle attacks and a knowing look and lingering hugs and friends willing to share seem so much more precious. thank you for question. i need to call soon I know... :)

I was playing with Google, avoiding work, and to my surprise the trail led here. Wow, what a story. Best to you Jen.
