LOVE … ahhhh….swoon …..pine…swoon….ahhhh…LOVE.

I swoon when I look at my children.
I still swoon when I look at my husband, especially when he wears his glasses and that black winter hat.
That is good, swooning is good.
I swoon when I look at my girls baby photos.
I swoon when I think of the west coast.
These things make me weak in the knees.
I pine for these things when I don’t have them around me.
I can pine for the craziest things.
I am a simple person really.
Clean sheets.
A really good dinner that everyone loves and came together in a snap.
A basket of clean folded laundry.
An organized fridge.
A shiny kitchen floor.
Yummy smelling freshly washed children.
Sleeping children.
Laughing children.
A latte made by my personal barristo,
My Mom and Dad.
Chris’ voice.
A really great, inspiring conversation with my friends.
Movie popcorn.
Heavy blankets on a cold night.
The sound of live music being played in my house.
Eating dinner when it is still light out.
A hot bath.
Eating crinkle french fries on the beach …
…are just a few of the things that I pine and swoon for…

“The swan is a totem of beauty and grace. As in the story of the Ugly Duckling, it connotes inner beauty as well. If Swan is your totem animal, you are emotionally sensitive, and empathic towards the feelings of others, and you draw people to you. The pure white swan is a solar symbol, whereas the Australian Black Swan is a nocturnal symbol. The swan, with its long neck, acts as a bridge between the worlds, making it an oracular bird. Being a cool weather bird, its direction is North. Swans are excellent totems for children, those connected to the Fairy Realm, poets, bards, mystics, and dreamers.” (Animal Speak, page 196)
