Autumn in Florida is … well hotter than heck! Feeling a bit nostalgic for brisk fall days, boots, and cute jackets reminded me of this day in the not-so-distant past. Sitting on our patio, wearing a sweatshirt, drinking a glass of wine–aaaah the sweetness of the cool air! So thanks Comedy Plus Wordless Wednesday for giving me a reason to find this picture. (Photo by me on my old I-phone.)
happiness unfound
awake, we dream of the day
when dawn returns joy
Questions that occur to me as I ponder happiness:
I can’t really answer my own questions but thanks to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie for challenging me to think about HAPPINESS and to Sue’s Photo Challenge for leading me to the Bluebird of Happiness 🙂
to defy ennui
a message in a bottle
washed ashore today
bearing the bones of our past
as starkly bleached harbingers
This bleak message was written as a response to the image by S. Hermann & F. Richter from Pixabay courtesy of the wonderful Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday Poetry Photo Challenge. Click for details and other contributions.
For some reason, this week’s photo reminded of this old movie! I think it’s more likely she’ll be covered in rising oceans not sand, but still ….
The world spins around
Bringing a spark of new hope
As fuel for the flames
I’ve been WP MIA for a couple of weeks. Between the heat and the constant rain and the general state of our world, I’ve been uninspired or depressed or lethargic. “Whatever” has been my go-to feeling of late. Ugh. But I’m trying to lift myself out of it. So thanks to Sue’s beautiful photo challenge for giving me a hopeful image to go along with the spark of hope coming out of Puerto Rico.
I’ll leave you with my title inspiration-Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come.”
Peace.
the light beckons me
into the dim passageway
and offers me hope
