Prompt: Above there are tanka and a haiku. You know what to do. Write some for yourself and to share.
Gratitude Today: I had an adequate amount of sleep. I drank less soda. Alex and I had SeaBreeze for lunch. My phone came back after resetting itself a few times. Life is, and I thank Jesus for it.

Positive interaction is a significant boost to the confidence and well-being of those around us. Kind words and gestures help prevent depression and despair.
As we communicate through creative means, we are gifting with elements of our hearts. When there is trouble, the most effective remedy is love. Comfort is conveyed by hugs, generosity, extending help, confirming personal value, and many other kindnesses.
While contact is severely limited for our safety, we should still be close to those we consider our tribe. Family and friends we trust to take adequate precautions should be our continuing connections to some normalcy.
We can never express our love too often. Saying, “I love you” becomes essential because life is a limited engagement without firm guarantees. We are sturdy but also fragile.
We need one another and require emotional support in our relationships. Doubt and fear are widespread. We combat these by investing ourselves in others in any way possible. Creative expression is an excellent outlet we use to encourage, inspire, and lift the spirits of people we value. Being considerate and providing uplifting communication is fundamental to acting out our creativity and making the world a better place.
Creating is like Diving deep in icy water. It wakes us up Revives our will to love, Give everything to our efforts, Stake a claim for the life we live, Encourage, inspire, aspire, To lives that possess joy, Reach for happiness. Let us come out of the depths, To bear witness to a present, Future pursuing continual progress.
Prompt: Consider how creativity can make the situation all of us are facing with masks, distancing, quarantine, fear, into a better experience. Create something that brings that to the surface.
Gratitude Today Alex and I went out for lunch. I got new brushes since mine was misplaced. Alex’s cat, who had been missing since before Christmas, appeared today and is now inside as she should be. I am using a copy stand that dates back to 1981. Even when I think there is nothing in the well, the well bubbles up with unexpected gifts.

The heart within me Beating with the light of love, Though left all alone, To face the fear, carry through, Be much more than I can do. Holed up, held at bay Unable to face another day; Yet, I hide the pain, Lift myself from covers warm Heed the day, for I was born Not to quail in storm To engage my plight over Adversity prevail In terror’s coffin, place nails Somehow grasp strength, overcome. In a voice drawn from Heroes of the distant past Firmly standing now, I become a dignified need, To in this moment, succeed. Still, the sword maintains Its vigil over my life At any time, can Fall, but I shall have faith, grace Freely given, shall keep me safe. The heart within me Beating with the light of love, Though left all alone, To face the fear, carry through, Be much more than I can do.

I am thankful: In the darkness of emotion, love breaks through. Winter is, then Spring. Freedom still has a hold. Somehow, I persevere. Delight forsakes day, parties into the night.

Gratitude List We have gotten out of 2020. Alex sent me a chapter to read. Reba is doing well. I keep finding music I enjoy. I read 64 books in 2020.

In times like these, a little whimsy is necessary. Although getting this here was quite a trial. HP Scan Smart would not work, even after repeated tries. So, I downloaded something from MS. Voila.
My son, Alex, is with me currently. We are trying to rescue me from the house. I think we made a bit of progress.
I hope you are finding your holiday cheer. Even in Coronavirus times, there is much to appreciate. We are still here, you and I, and life with all its challenges is a marvelous thing.
When we listen to music, read a piquant line, share a hug, say hello, snuggle with a pet, look around and see all the things that enrich our lives, suddenly, we know we have reason to be. Even at a distance, we still have a connection to the lives of all humanity.
Please understand wherever, whoever you are, I wish you the very best that life has to offer. Love surrounds you, and you are marvelous. I will say with confidence; you are a miracle.
