Dogs for Me

Dogs or cats?

In a world of wagging tails,
My heart’s filled with puppy dog trails.
Their love is pure, their spirit bright,
In their eyes, my day turns light.

Strawberry: Artwork and a poem

Oh, sweet and juicy strawberry,
So bright and full of flavor,
Your red hue and tender flesh,
Fill my senses with joy and savor,
From fields to my plate,
You bring delight that’s true,
In desserts and snacks,
Oh strawberry, how I love you!

In complete chaos

The life we are living in

No light to be seen

Only these small smatterings

Not quite enough to read by…

Comfort from someone

Is needed but will it come

Hoping and dreaming

To receive all that support

Complete with reassurance…

Track of Time

Which activities make you lose track of time?

Lost in a good book, with pages flying by,
Transported to new worlds, where time can’t pry,
Characters and plots, they capture my mind,
Before I realize, it’s way past bedtime!

Golden paradise

Swaying palm trees, quiet ocean

Relaxation from stress

Greeted with salty breezes

And scented sun tan lotion…

There’s work to be done

Time to get at it

Dreams come true with work

Manifest, see it happen

It will all fall into place…

To Bee

Bee in flower bed,
Sting of nature’s tiny guard,
Wings hum of life’s thread.

I feel like a fraud

What is real and what is not

Am I the only one

Please share this burden with me

We are not alone in this…

Longing for friendship

Wishes bloom in the heart’s song

A bond yet to be

I swear that it is out there

Be true to yourself, you’ll see…

Self Interrupting Conversation

What bothers you and why?

It’s frustrating when someone initiates a conversation and then abruptly stops, saying “nevermind.” It can feel like they don’t value my input or aren’t willing to share with me. This kind of communication can create a sense of unease, leaving me wondering what they were going to say. I highly value open communication and honesty, so when someone stops sharing abruptly, it feels like a barrier to genuine connection.

Golden Tropics- Painting

Saturday my friend and I attended a paint and sip event where we each painted our own golden tropics. We had a wonderful time. The instructor was patient and explained the instructions clearly. I definitely plan to attend another event hosted by her.
