Speaking of Travel - On Poetry Friday ...




TRAVEL DAYS

Days seem a wee bit long
After you are packed and gone

Time is the one I seem to blame
Hearing some thunder and the rain

Waiting for that safe arrival call
Being my lifesaver, after all

Another sunny, cold, brisk day
Autumn always feels this way

Doing what we need to do
Hurrying back to me and you

    Kristine- I'm hearing a sweet sadness in your poem.

    Reading your reply to Sonja , without needing to know anything more, I'm reminded to be strong. No matter what our circumstances might be, through the thick and thin of life; Autum will always arrive, along with the lovely memories of a time that has moved along.

    Thank you, Elizabeth - Our husbands travel quite a bit - We worry about them - But we keep busy while they are gone - I was thinking of my Husband quite a bit yesterday, so that is why I created this poem - Strength - A beautiful gift!

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?
