A Pink Farewell to January

 

  

  

  

looking around my home today i was struck by little pink details.

anenomes. tulips. flowered pillowcases. a heart hanging on the bedpost that plays a lullaby when you pull the string.

i was given that pink heart as a gift when I was pregnant with our angel baby.

i was supposed to hold it to my belly so our baby could hear the sweet melody.

our baby is gone, but that pink heart remains.

pink.

pink like rosy baby cheeks.

pink like the soft spotted belly and raspberry paws of a puppy.

like the blushing dawn of a new morning.

and i knew...i am ready for new beginnings.

goodbye january!

i loved the new friends i found in january.

i loved baking up batches of chocolate comfort.

i loved long hours working on photographs, learning a new art.

but you were cold, january.

i am ready now.

ready for a pink february.

so glad you are all joining me.
