Cookies for Breakfast
Insomnia steals her focus
the whole of December ~
three long weeks this time.
Tired, she makes her way
to our trailer’s tiny kitchen,
baking her almond spritz cookies
and carefully twisting leftover dough
into puffy candy cane shapes.
I steal my gift from her that year
and learn how to make the best of things.

Thank you so much. My mom passed in February, and I’m entering into the stage of life where one starts losing important people - it is here we find out just how precious those memories really are. I appreciate the RL.
It’s so good to have you stop by. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Reading this, and these like it, makes me envious. I had my share of memories of course. But I wanted more good ones. Thank you for sharing one of yours. It helps fill mine with more quality.
Wonderful write.
And Merry Christmas!

It reminds me to take some time to make more of those good kinds of memories with the people I care about. Thank you so much for reading and for the RL.
Merry Christmas!

Hope you had some coffee to go along with those cookies, I've done a couple of times myself.
Wonderful piece Luna. Hope you had a great Christmas.

Thank you, Wally! I got to spend it with my new grandson, so it was perfect. I hope yours was excellent!

I bought an antique spritz cookie press this year for just that purpose. Thank you so much for reading!
