January Joys






Being off work for a few days
when everyone else has returned

A cold  sun sitting low
in the cloudless sky

My knitting
and peace and quiet to do it

Watching tv shows back to back

My husband's ( slow ) return to good mental health

Signing up for a new knitting class

Velvet evenings
and laced edged mornings

Leaning into the half light of each day
loving the wisdom that I sometimes feel
in my fingers when I write

All these,
January Joys.

How sweet they are.

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
