i hope
you're taking a great big bite out of october
~
this month has been truly spectacular so far
and
i have no reason to believe that the slow
and
very orange and yellow days ahead
won't be equally as wonderful
~
i also hope you're taking a bite of life
~
as i watch the miners
fathers~sons~brothers~uncles~nephews~grandfathers
being slowly lifted one by one
to the world they haven't seen in 69 days
where waiting families let tears
heavy with love and relief
fall
~
well
it just makes being alive feel that much better

Love this post. The joy on those miners faces it definitely tear inducing and inspiring.

ReplyDeleteLovely post - October is indeed a delicious month!
ReplyDeleteAdorable picture!
ReplyDeleteGreat post...watching the miners come out one by one, make me feel so happy too!
watching the miners emerge from underground is emotional for me - just think of the elation the miners and their families feel. it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThis has been the most glorious fall. I continually gasp with joy! You are so right -- it does make being alive so much better!
ReplyDeleteOh yes.. what a relief to see them arrive above ground.. reasonably fit. The reunions so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, it feels good to be human today, doesn't it ? I love the pic but just keep imagining the next one...with the spitting and face squishing....;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a sweet day with a mininal amount of spitting and face squishing, beautiful Beth !
That baby is awesome! Nothing better than a chunky monkey! I watch one a couple of times a week and her thighs make me smile. :) If only I could get as excited about my own chunky thighs! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo! Your words remind me to take a full bite today and everyday! I will start right now and begin this day with enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteThanks

At my house, we've been having a giggle over my son's witty comments about the trapped miner who invited both his wife and his mistress to his groundbreaking reentry. . . into the mess he made for himself. Gavin wondered why the guy just didn't stay below. . . said, "After all, it was no minor mistake." and "He can't dig his way out of this one." Don't you just love 20-somethings?
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDelete"heavy with love and relief."
ReplyDeleteexactly!
It was wonderful watching the miners come to the surface. I can't imagine being there that long. Wonderful day! I love the wonderful picture!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
ReplyDeleteWas so good to hear a happy and heart lifting story on the news for once. Life is so full of these kinds of stories, so why do they have to only cover the dark stuff all the time?
ReplyDeleteThose miners must be drinking up the sun's rays these days.
