Sunrise paints the sky,
Joy dances on golden rays,
Moments sweet and bright.
A Glimpse of Dawn
Month: May 2026
Unity in Joy
Laughter fills the air,
Hands reaching through thick and thin,
Hearts woven as one.
Whispers of Solitude
Silent echoes call,
A shadow in crowded rooms,
Yearning for a voice.
Trust in Friendship
In friendships wide, there’s much to find,
But trust is the quality that’s most kind.
A bond built strong on truth and care,
In laughter and sorrow, they’re always there.
Honest words that never sway,
Promises kept, come what may.
Loyal hearts that stand so tall,
Ready to catch you if you fall.
With trust, we share our joys and fears,
In their embrace, we wipe our tears.
So here’s to friends, both near and far,
Trust makes us shine like the brightest star.
The Blues
A shadow falls across the room,
As twilight fades to gray,
A quiet touch of midnight blues
That steals the light away.
But music drifts upon the breeze,
A soft and healing sound,
And in the rhythm of the blues,
A deeper peace is found.
Beam
The moon lets down a silver beam
To dance upon the quiet stream,
Turning the dark and restless night
Into a world of soft delight.

Your challenge for this week
- The wind carried my apology farther than I ever could.
Motivated
Honestly? I stay motivated by tricking my brain into enjoying the process. I make it fun, break it into tiny steps, and celebrate even the smallest progress. I don’t chase perfection — I chase momentum. And when I get stuck, I reconnect with the reason I started. That usually pulls me forward again.
Opinionated
Openly sharing what rolls through the mind,
Persistent in views that are sharply defined.
Insisting on paths that they believe to be right,
Never back down from a spirited fight.
Indifferent to critics who try to oppose,
Onward they push where their certainty goes.
Not easily swayed by the crowd or the trend,
Always prepared to defend their own stance.
Talking with passion, conviction, and pride,
Eager to speak what is brewing inside,
Decided and firm, they won’t step aside.
Getting to Know Missy
What give your cheap thrills?
My cheap thrills? Scrolling YouTube way too long, playing cozy little games on my iPad, wandering the library aisles like it’s a treasure hunt, and getting lost in paint colors. None of it costs much, but all of it fills me up.

Self-doubt kills talent.” Edie McClurg
Agatha Christie was a surfing pioneer. The crime novelist(Death in the Nile) took up the sport while touring South Africa with her husband in the 1920s. Christie later wrote of surfing in Hawaii while sporting leather boots ( to avoid injuries from sharp coral) and a “skimpy” bathing suit.

“Integrity is the most valuable and respected quality of leadership. Always keep your word.” – Brian Tracy
Ailurophobia is an intense fear of cats.
Finding Your Star
Take a breath, don’t yell or shout,
Ranting and raving won’t help you out.
What you want may seem so far,
But keep on trying, you’ll find your star.
Though answers may not come today,
At least you’ve shown a human way.
In every step, let kindness lead,
For even small acts can plant a seed.
So gather strength, give it a go,
Even if the path feels slow.
You might not get all that you seek,
But in being real, you’ll find what’s unique.
Sky of Whispers
A light blue sky with clouds floating by.
Wondering where they might go.
Drifting softly, whispering dreams.
A Festive Feast of Flavors
Gleaming sweets adorned with cheer,
Indulging every taste, oh dear!
Nutty spices fill the air,
Golden edges, crisp and rare.
Every bite a festive delight,
Rich and warm, a cozy sight.
Baked with love, a timeless treat,
Reaping joy, so rich and sweet.
Each piece tells a story bold,
A holiday tradition to behold.
Dancing flavors, memories unfold.
