Pausing for the view

In November and December

as the days grew shorter,

I lamented.

So dreary …. so hard to motivate

and then Solstice:

a milestone to celebrate!

But now, as days turned to weeks

and indeed days are lengthening

and the turning of the calendar page

I’m taking time each morning

to pause and appreciate

not just the sunrise

but the lingering views of the moon

I'm a reading specialist from Chicago, now living in the beauty of the Roosevelt National Forest in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. My first book "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" features a creative and curious girl who loves science, her little brother, and her very patient parents. I'm currently writing a MG novel and several picture books with STEM elements and dogs.
