Your Story

Are you sharing your story?
My Friend, you never know
Where your story will prompt
Someone’s reaching bigger.

Connection Boost

What group connection perks up your life?

You know the feeling.
Interactions that make you
Think more clearly,
Have sense of possibility.

Power of Visibility

How do you know you are
Showing up “Loud and Proud?”*

I have “cool” new bike shirt,
High-viz orange-red, SPF 50.

Grey Days

Grey days are hard for me,
Damping down my optimism.
Canceling out thoughts of
Positive action.

New Year 1949

When I was ten years old,
I dashed outside New Year’s morning,
Filled with wonder that we had a NEW time.
I shouted up to the sky,
“This time is new!
It’s called 1949!”

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.

Varying routine

What are you able to do to vary your routine?

Bob and I took another “loop” drive.
Our three-hour outing,
Started and ended in our own garage.

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.

Gratitude Day

What do you remember about your early
“Thanks and gratitude” day?
Thanksgiving this week.
I’m calling it “Official Gratitude Day.”

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.”
