A poem a day during April's NaPoWriMo challenge turned out to be only a dozen. Still and all, I am glad for the challenge. Since then I've spent eager hours preparing nearly forty pages in support of an application to spend an extended period with a small cohort under the direction of several writer-mentors. Alas, I did not even make the 'short list' for consideration.
But late spring and early summer have provided enough stellar days to brighten anyone's spirits, and I have intensified my efforts to weed out closets and shelves, empty boxes and bins, clear counters, desk, and my mind for the work that is to come. For work I shall. I shall persevere in writing and, lordwilling, publish words of encouragement for others.
I am thankful for members of several groups (writing, spiritual growth, speaking), as well as family, neighbors and friends who support and encourage me for who I am and for who I am becoming as a writer and a person.
Is it possible that I have just entered my seventh decade? I am still a teenager/young adult at heart, with much to learn! I am also thankful for this.
