Early in the morning, looking out my window, waiting for the sunrise, the world still holding it's breath.
The sky shifts from deep blue to soft blush, and in that quiet in-between, my thoughts find you.
I sip the warmth in my hands and let the light arrive slowly, like hope that doesn't rush but always shows up.
Birds begin to sing their gentle chorus, reminding me that even after those long nights, morning keep it's promise.
As the sun finally breaks through the horizon, I feel a small peace settle in my chest-a whisper that today is new, and whatever I carry from yesterday can be set down, just for awhile
in the golden glow of a brand-new day.

Choose Your Own Adventure: St Helena Station
*****Preface***** I have been obsessed with Choose Your Own Adventure stories since I was a kid. I credit them with my love of reading and writing. I've been struggling to get my own kids to embrace words the same way I have but they love video games and our occasional Dungeon's and Dragon's game... which gave me an idea. I'll write an interactive story. So far its working; my middle son loves it and can't wait for the next section to come out.

The Saloon Murders
It’s late in the evening. The cowboys and cowgirls are all in bed. A woman is sitting in the dark again. She is at her desk typing details in a letter. She doesn’t need the light to see what is being typed. She’s got it down to a science. She types it urgently as if it’s a matter between life and death. The typewriter dings with each return. She is frantic and determined to fix what this woman has done to the man she loves. In mid-sentence, the phone rings causing her to jump. She answers it.
