A Different Christmas

What was different about Christmas for you?
This week held Christmas.
Whatever that holiday means for you,
I wonder if its essence was different this year.

Trusting Your Route

How do you trust your route?
How often are our paths winding?
Unsure, rough and gravelly?
Connection to next part unclear,
Yet arriving at place that
Is start of continuing journey.

COVID Puzzle

What are you puzzling over in your life?

Most evenings, Bob and I work on a puzzle.
One end of dining table,
Covered with puzzle pieces.

Wishbone Wish

First time in years
I’ve rescued the turkey “wishbone.”
One of best things from meal is,
Broth from turkey carcass bones.

There it was—Wishbone,
Inviting me to wish.

Weather Moods

How is weather affecting your mood?
Oh my, this warm week unlocked
Eager-to-be-outside joy!
I saw it everywhere I saw people.
Happy to be out, “doing.”

New Challenges

What will you shift as cold weather settles in?
It’s not just when will temps drop
Rather, how soon constant below-freezing temps?

Nurturing Expansion

What have you “explored” recently?
Even though we’ve had MN as home for fifty years,
Seldom have Bob and I explored MN.

Life Sparks

What “spark” did you plan for yourself? Spark in my life—fun, spirit-lifting outing—a trailhead site in Houston, MN: Root River Trail.

Break-Out Day

Cumulative COVID effects for me
Result in feeling nothing is possible.
What about you?

How was your day?

The answer to “How was your day?”
Is not one word.
