January 3rd

***
The last of the New Years guests left.
and we had one little overnighter.
The Sun was bright and my intentions were to take down
 Christmas and deep clean the house after the busy holidays.
One by one they showed up.  
A gaggle of kids playing in the snow.
A room full of women sharing stories.
A clean house is over rated.
I look around now at the remnants of another full day of visitors.
I am reminded at how rich my life is.
Humbled each time someone shows up on my door step.
"Your house is our sanctuary," she said 
upon entering and finding the living room full.
Yes, yes it is, dear friends.
You are always welcome in our home.
