Silently Sitting
The reason this looks okay now is because Margie girl sprinkled her magic on it. Otherwise it wouldn't Thank you love I really appreciate it.   And she threaten to duff me over for telling that she did it  


Silently Sitting

Normally you can hear me
Long before you see me
But sometimes like now
I am quiet I know how
I can sit here not talking
I don't need to be working
But sit here sipping at you
Tasting the essence of you
Drinking in your glow
Quietly you know
Silently here
No fear
No hurries
No worries
Silently I'll be
Sitting silently


Normally there's no way
That I do not just say
But sometimes like now
I can shut up I know how
I can  sit here being still
And so today here I will
I'll bathe in your words
Listen to what I've heard
Reach out for your light
Hold it in the night
No pains
No gains
Quietly here
Still the tear
Quietly I'll be
Waiting quietly

I'm sorry Marsha, but I am afraid I'm going to have to say...

I wish I had written this...

the calm of it, the quiet which you say you are not...come forth like a comforter on this icy-snowy-blowy morn, and warm me...

so, into my library...{~,^} and thank you for the early Sunday morning gift....

Kari love, you could have done this better love, but I tried even if it was wonky when you read it, I did try.
Thank you love as always
Take care love

Rex love, thank you this was a bit of wing stretching from me. And as you saw the shape was as wonky as anything. But I thank you for supporting me
Take care love

Absolutely wonderful. . .

This is lovely, Marsha, so peaceful!  It reminds me of a friend who once said coming home to his wife was like entering a quiet room (and mind you, they had NINE kids!), she was just that gentle and serene.  And I don't know how it looked before, but it certainly isn't "wonky" now!

Margie girl dear heart you surely didn't think I'd keep it a secret that you had to sprinkle your amazing magic on it. Kari does my editing, Margie does my shapes, anyone else I'm not proud I'll take any help me! And you know you had to show me love, you really did. I thank you and I appreciate it more than I can say. I don't know what I did to deserve such good friends but I'm glad I did it love I really am.
And even the smack is a loving tap I know. (What's that expression,   gotta love me   )
Take care love and thanks, and they know you did it,  
       love and stuff

Sven dear heart, I can't often do quiet, it's not normally me, but it's the thought of work calms me down a lot. Thank you love, and this is me doing quiet.
Take care love
                    Mushy
                      
And you know I won't be for long don't you, yes I know.

Marilyn love, it was wonky, very very wonky, if they had been real glasses they wouldn't have stood up and the wine would have leaked out. Thank you love I don't normally manage to convey calm, but this time, I think I did.
Take care love
                 Mushy
                    
Paula dear heart, I think you might be showing your bias again, but thank you sweetie. This being transformed by Margie so it looks like it should, and not how I left it. But thank you as always love.
Take care as always
              Mushy
                  
Jimmy love, thank you that is a compliment that I know I don't deserve, but thank you anyway love.
I'm glad the lessons that I'm finally learning are working.
Take care love

PT dear heart, this was me doing quiet and it came out, but if you had seen it before it was Margie girled, you would have seen just how wonky it was. But I'm pleased that you love it, I can do quiet just not very often, but you know that. And also not for very long either.
Thank you so muchly love
Take care

Dee love, what is wonky, (THIS was wonky) it means wobbly, not stable. Like when you go to a restaurant and they give you the table that wobbles, (it always happens to me) that's wonky. Or you're in the supermarket and your trolley is the one with the wheel that gets stuck, that's wonky. Thank you love for wanting to keep this, but you wouldn't want it if it hadn't been Margie girled  
Take care love

The outline is so neatly done, but the essence inside is what makes this such a delight! So peaceful and calming.
Thank you for the taste!

Lary love thank you, It was all down to them being Margie girled, if she hadn't waved her magic wand, they wouldn't have appeared so good. I know the content is important, but they needed all the help they could get.
Thank you love
Take care love as always
