#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

The best thing today for my body was to walk in the wet woods. Woods battered by storm. Branches down. Trees down. But colors soaked and bright. Lovely to be out. Gave Wave his breakfast and also worked on two poem revisions to send off to workshop. Workshop was excellent. So helpful to discuss my poems and also some thoughts about the manuscript with lots of support. Whatever was bothering me last week has resolved, been worked through. My energy has returned in a revitalized way.Sun never shone in the sky today, but I felt cheered by rain. Today is Frank’s special anniversary of 44 years in a certain anonymous program. A friend sent him home with a dozen yellow roses, balloons, and she gave him a cake too that was shared in the meeting. I sent him a very special message in a text admiring his dedication and generosity and commitment to this anonymous program that gives him so much and that give him a chance to give so much. Give it to keep, as the slogan goes. My writing group tonight, as usual, charged and buzzing with creative juices. Grateful for this day.
