During life #1 I used the word in this context

"Oh shit, I have to do...."

"Oh dammit, I have to order..."

"Oh God, please cancel that meeting..."

"Oh please give me more time!"

"Oh, why..."

During life #2 it's become

"Oh, WOW!"

for pretty much everything I see

because I can see now

beyond piles of papers, deadlines, frowning faces

It's the feeling as I ride around a mountain curve

and suddenly there's an opening in the trees

exposing a lake down below

with the sun gleaming on the water

and an eagle flying high overhead

and the first strums of Into the Mystic by Van Morrison

on my headset

"Oh!"  pure magic

It's the fat raindrops bouncing off my helmet

The smell of the land after a storm

The sunrises and sunsets

The hovering hummingbird

The messages from the Angels

The feeling of paint on my hands

The strum of a guitar and the perfect song

The night sky, howling coyotes and wolves

Dew caught in spider webs

It's lighting storms, the first snowfall, the first spring bud

Life

After the "yucky" post, I worked hard at trusting

And then hubby walked in with a gift and

"Oh, W O W!"

In the process of drilling they uncovered these

You see, that part of the Chicago lakefront

is built upon landfill from the 1890s

The tall one is a German stonewear mineral water bottle from the 1800s

The engraving reads Rhenser Minerbrunner

Deustchland, Germany with engraved crest

The bottle next to it reads Northwestern Brewery

The brown one is JC Borgherdt Pharmacist

And Atlas Brewing Company

Just bottles you say?

Not to me

Have you noticed my ummm slightly overactive imagination?

I hold each and wonder about its journey

Who held it, where it's been, how long it lay hidden

It makes me all tingly

being one of the best gifts he's ever given me

besides the louder motorcycle pipes in lieu of a wedding ring (hee hee)

OH!

And as I took the photos I happened to look behind me

And was rewarded for my patience today

by the sky's promise that the sun will return

And as I sat to write this post I looked out the window

"OH!"

the night sky

I have officially overloaded my senses today

and must go to bed
