List the words that warm your spirit:
- Peace
- Mama. Though my daughters are all grown up, when a child calls out “Mama,” I still look around to see if someone is calling for me. it’s not the name I grew up with, but the name I identify with most.
- Gramma…rolls off the tongue easier than “Grand-ma” and is usually what I hear when my grandchildren address me, no matter what their intent.
- Soup…warms from the inside out.
- Dinner…evokes thoughts of a big Sunday meal, with family and friends around the table.
- Dearest
- Sweetheart
- Safe
- Shelter
- Courage
- Suppose
- Water
- Welcome
- Rest
- Easy
- Hello
- Lullaby
- Slumber
- Comfort
- Joy
- Christmas
- Family. That one came to me as I stumbled down the stairs this morning, with two dogs at my heels. “Come on, family,” I encouraged them.
