2020-07-14 Doodles and the Art of (Not) Doing

It’s gonna be a full day today and I’ve got no time to lament. That’s good news. Maybe if I have idle I should turn to meditation or some other positive and productive activity instead of letting my brain spin out. I mean, not maybe. That’s what I should do. I know that, but I…

2020-07-13 Prognosis Pending

2020-07-04 Cheers to New Poetry and Spending Quality Time this 4th of July 🌟

I’m leading with the poem I wrote yesterday instead of including it as an afterthought at the end. The tag line? “Look Ma, it’s a Love Poem!!” Driving Toward Sunset on July 2nd Yesterday was a pretty good day. I had two good virtual catch up sessions with friends, I attended a poetry workshop where…

2020-07-03 Yes, Person I’ve Never Met, I’m Judging You 😷

I almost wrote this post a few weeks ago after I had to make a trip to the pool supply store to get out pool water tested to make sure the chemicals were safe and balanced for swimming. Most of the trips I make outside the house are to get groceries or pick up prescriptions.…

2020-07-02 Between last night and today 🌙 … ☀️

Last night, as I neared the end of my day, my brain was full of all kinds of things to say. I felt happy and satisfied and looking forward to today and this holiday weekend and the rest of this summer. I should have gotten out my notebook and put pen to paper. I should…
