A travel, newsy, site with place for poetry and eventual books. I have published two books of my poetry. Fragments has been out there for a while. Seeking is new. Contact me is you would like to know more. I am president of Celtic Women International and cofounder of the Sheboygan County branch of this organization. I have established links to their websites.
This year is starting off as goofy as the last year ended. Lets all pull together to try to turn this around.
Care for each other. Stand up for the good. Be patient. PRAY. I am doing a LOT of that. (Especially for all of you.
We need to be able to get together and hug each other. I believe in HUGS>\

Blessed
I today
Tucked in my safe warm home
Sheltered from the evils outside
Secure/
Bart was over for part of the afternoon to help me with a couple of things. He sure is good to me
I always love having someone in the house to talk to. He is very kind, as he, like his fathers is not a bit talker.
The weekend is quiet too. I pick up my sewing machine in the morning (Needed some repairs. I asked the guy if he thought I should replace it as it is over 20 years old.He said NO The old Kenmores were made to last.) I will then be able to finish a square that is needed for Quilt Guild on Monday.
Hope you are all doing well. This increase in COVID 19 infections is getting really scary.

When we lose th fact
That everyone has value
We are truly doomed/
It was cool and damp all day today. I don't think I ever warmed up, even upping the thermostat did not help as it has gotten into my bones.
Home most of the day. Did go grocery shopping, which really wore me out.
Bart came over for a while this afternoon so I had someone to talk to which you know I love.
They are doing well.
Hope you all are doing well too.

Do plants feel their thirst?
I like to thing watering makes
Them feel better.
We are not even over or near over the worldwide coronavirus that is threatening our populace. We certainly don't need this horrible situation in our beloved United States of America.
What is wrong with Trump? Every avenue admits that he has lost but he still persists. What is wrong with the people who believe him? I am relying only on the numbers that voted. There was not a little difference in the totals = it was conclusive.
I just keep praying that sane minds will prevail.
Meanwhile take care of yourselves. I am getting the vaccine tomorrow.

Hungry, I yearn for days gone by
When we were two and not apart
H was my strength, my special guy
And I was first within his heart.
Please stay safe. I worry about all of you. I am mainly at home and wearing a mask whenever I am with or near others, (which is not often) Today I got xrays or my chest because anytime I do ANYTHING, I am completely out of breath and have to sit for a while. Will find out tomorrow if there is anything there. I think it is related to that procedure of my esophagus and don't know if anything but time will help. At least I can take the time to see if things will get better.
All else is well.
We are having lovely weather.

THE CRONE
Having reached the age of eight times ten,
I am a very wise woman.
A crone, if you wish.
I make spirits out of the juice of fruits.
I am a very wise woman.
I share my knowledge in word and lore.
I am a poet and keeper of history.
I defend my village with a spear
made for me by a blind carver.
Queen Maeve left the wood in the corner of his shop.
The carver told me so.
Nearer now to the spirit world
I often feel comfort
from soul friends in the realm beyond,
near but just beyond reach.
The veil thins.
Don't know how long it will last, but I am enjoying it. I am probably letting Vita talk me into taking her out more than I should just because the sun and fresh air feel so good. I still get out of breath and have to rest for some time after coming in.
It takes me until about 11:00AM before I feel like a real person.
But at least I DO get to feel like a real person.
I keep pretty busy at home alone. It is amazing how many things come up in a retired person's life when we are supposed to just relax. I remember that people used to ask Dick what he did after he retired. And I quote: 'I am retired. That is what I do."
I wish I was more like him that way, I always think I should be "productive". Guess I really did enough of that in my 80 years:)
Love You

As days extend to weeks
And lonliness is spreading
The soul in sadness boldly seeks
For a touch
Or For a HUG
I was home all day, except for walking Miss Vita. It was pleasant walking, but she was somewhat of a pest. I know, I know, I spoil her. I am trying to back off a bit the past few days because, since the procedure, I get out of breath easily. Will be calling them tomorrow to be sure this is normal and to make sure when I get checked again.
Found a couple of sitting projects to occupy a lot of my time. I do get lonely and miss talking to someone, you know who. I know he listens but I can't hear him speak anymore.
Tomorrow, home again. Have a lot of after long holiday calls to make so will be busy for at least a portion of the day.
Miss you all

The elm trees are naked
In this winter season.
Squirrels are exposed as they leap
From tree to tree to fence and down
