https://youtu.be/sJ-0XV9SRZU Northwest Washington is experiencing some rain this week. Most of us are well equipped for walking in the rain, but if you can find a sunshine break to get in a mile or more of a walk it is perfect! The monthly poetry discussion group I’ve been apart of since October 2015 is meetingContinueContinue reading “Day 38: Raw Poetry”

Day 36: Writers Life
https://youtu.be/S9tWh5uwQNY Organizing my poetry folder this morning, I found a little day-in-the-life story from October 2018. It is primarily about the way fickle inspiration for a poem or a short story sometimes comes to you, and if you’re not disciplined enough, it flies away, forgotten forever. Thought I would share it today. A poetess friendContinueContinue reading “Day 36: Writers Life”
Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee
https://youtu.be/LKrTGik5wsI Shower Thoughts: An “unlimited minutes per month” phone plan really only gives you 44,640 minutes per month at best. What are some changes to your daily routine since lockdown? Are there additions to your diet? Perhaps you stopped doing something or perhaps started buying some new items? I am eating more immune-building foods. AddingContinueContinue reading “Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee”
Day 34: Where The Sun Don’t Shine
https://youtu.be/hw-EzQ6vE3s Shower Thought: It’s crazy that’s there’s this giant thing in the sky all the time that we’re not supposed to look at. So my friend has a great idea for a COVID-19 cure. It is a rectal suppository of sunlight, UV rays. At last, if marketed, you could buy some for your mother inContinueContinue reading “Day 34: Where The Sun Don’t Shine”
Day 32: TGIF I think…it’s Friday right?
https://youtu.be/XPVvQLjSd00 Shower Thoughts: Last night my friend asked to use a USB port to charge his cigarette, but I was using it to charge my book. The future is stupid. Happy Friday everyone! Oh wait, IS IT Friday? I’m not sure. Let’s see- Traffic looks like a Sunday afternoon, every day feels like a Saturday,ContinueContinue reading “Day 32: TGIF I think…it’s Friday right?”
Day 31: Get Yer Boots On
https://youtu.be/OVrpyItyKlQ Shower thoughts: If someone offered to pay for my food and rent for the next 18 years, I’d do anything they ask of me. But I complained every time I took the trash out while living at my parent’s house. Are you ready to get a little deep today? There is so much informationContinueContinue reading “Day 31: Get Yer Boots On”
Day 30: Zoom Fatigue
https://youtu.be/Bmhswb9t0AI Yesterday, Washington State entered its 4th week of lockdown. On Tuesday, March 24th our governor declared that everything but essential businesses close and for citizens to shelter in place TFN. Weeks prior folks and businesses started to practice social distancing. So here we are. What can we say? What can we do? We canContinueContinue reading “Day 30: Zoom Fatigue”
Day 27: Not Normal
https://youtu.be/gAaHNYxkS_E If it wasn’t for the news I could believe this was a normal day in April. The sun is lower now, a quick glance at the clock and confirm 5:11 p.m. Most families will be off the trail, heading home for dinner. It’s a good time for a walk around the lake. Coming upContinueContinue reading “Day 27: Not Normal”
Day 25: You Are Here
https://youtu.be/_q9MpiacZs4 Today Washington State is 3 weeks and 3 days into the COVID-19 lockdown. Strange moments remind me what universe I am in. My son went to get some groceries and I rush over to him before he left, “Take a face mask! They might not let you into the store without one!” People willContinueContinue reading “Day 25: You Are Here”
Day 24
https://youtu.be/ZJuv-KvOEr4 The Twitter account “Shower Thoughts” has a good thought that is working for me. It reads: “Go to bed, you’ll feel better in the morning” is the human version of “Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?” Sleep is a marvelous reset, isn’t it? I am thankful for my littleContinueContinue reading “Day 24”
