I was fully involved in all the above, and in my book-writing today so have a short one to post.
Read Jenny Slate’s book: Little Weirds. I just re-read it and couldn’t stop snorting with laughter!
Get with your tribe and have a good drink and toast to good things happening in your lives!
Bake something yummy and decorate your house!
Volunteer to someone who needs you. Use your skill-set to help someone realize their dreams.
Did you give to the Colorado Gives Campaign to your favorite charity? I did!
Celebrate and love your family even more until the end of the year. I send my love and joy to all.
Finally, here are two of my throwback favorite poems:
A Walk in the Woods – From Dru’s personal collections, 1980
There’s a strange feeling that comes over me when I go into the woods.
It’s somewhat surreal since no one is there.
Perhaps it’s the old ones coming out to talk to me.
Perhaps it’s because something is always about to happen.
Am I going to meet someone who will change my life?
Or will it be a chance meeting, or was the meeting meant to be?
Will it be for a lesson?
Or was it for me to present a session?
I can’t explain the old feelings that come up from the trees.
I wish there were exact words for the sensations.
The lady must have decided to test me greatly in this lifetime.
I don’t understand everything yet,
But the path I’m taking will surely make me a wise one.
I wish I could explain these feelings on paper.
I wish I could embark on what I feel in the woods.
Is it because the feelings are too private?
Too individual?
I know the more time you spend in the woods,
In the old growth woods,
The more you learn,
The more you know,
The more you understand.
Protect the old growth woods at all costs.
And:

Furry Sweaters
Winter’s Cold.
Dissenters do what they’re told.
Could be better.
