Oh the sun shine! Yesterday I heard warm weather by midweek. [tweetthis]The face of the torrential downpours last night changed from disheartening to signs of growth and green.[/tweetthis] It’s May, and poetry month is behind me. I still love reading poetry. I still love the exercise of learning new ways to express myself. I apologize to faithful readers who stuck through April and my lack of poetic talent. I feel full of energy, re-committed to following a morning routine. So with that gush of enthusiasm, here’s a list of 10 things I am thankful for this Monday:

But… connecting after the fun is over is super-duper-dope-great. Dina, Sara, Beth Ann, Joanne, Julie: We have some great things planned!
[icon name=”female” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] LTYM: Listen to Your Mother in St. Joseph, Michigan. My first BAM roommate was not to be. Or were you my second, dear Kim? With LYTM coming strong behind BAM, and a lack of volunteers, she bailed on me. That’s okay, I volunteered to help her take tickets. After all, I’m a Michigander. My kids were born and got through middle school before I left Bad Axe. (Yes, that really is the name of a town in Michigan.) St. Joe’s is not too far away. What a wonderful treat! Such a wonderful chat and sip dinner with Jolan and Joan and Yvonne before the show. And the show − wow!
[icon name=”heart” class=”” unprefixed_class=””] Ruth Myers and 31 Days of Prayer: A little gift from my friend, Judy, added to my list of meditations. Day 1 filled me with such inspiration, it will soon metamorphose my thoughts into a blogpost. (Tomorrow maybe?)
I love that it’s almost over, and I’ll miss it. I suppose it’s a bit like hiking the […]
