You want me to do what?!?
And the gender stereotypes continue. Tomorrow will mark my first ever baby-sitting adventure. It’s not going to be major – I will arrive while the helper is there, get settled and then be alone with my adorable god-daughter for over an hour till her mother makes it home. No big, right? The most I may have to do is change a diaper.
Missed connections
How many times must we look back?
Thoughts we never shared
I could have said, maybe I should have
What would they have thought?
Why not ask the question?
Before we realize, the moment has passed
Life’s time, not pausing, continues
As we yearn for another chance
We long for the strength, from inside
To step outside our fears
And so, as we replay the scene
We know, hope, pray, that next time
Will be the time we take that leap
The carnival is over
Sigh. Another carnival season is past. This year had some interesting points. I made it to Beach J’ouvert for the first time. For some reason this shocks all who know me but I have never left town on Easter weekend before. Of course, it wasn’t for fun – it was work, pure and simple. It was the first time the band played at that event, in fact the first in a long time we played at anything for carnival.
