I'm doing better!
Maybe I'll get two entries done this month. Time does go fast though. I'm still wondering where summer went and the furnace is on. I love autumn. My favorite season. The beautiful colors. The cool sunny days. The nights seem longer though. More darkness. Anyway, it's here and I'm getting hoards of catalogues in the mail for Christmas shopping. Incredible!
I'm into another poetry class. Just finished my first assignment today. It's hard work but rewarding. Every time I finish a poem, I believe I don't have another one in me, but, somehow, they always find me. But this is my constant fear. It IS hard to find just the right words to express my meaning sometimes and some days are filled with frustration, but when the poem is completed, there is a feeling of exhiliration. I'm glad I have it. It's what keeps me going these days. And to be in a group of poets is even better. Sharing andsupporting one another. It's an important part of my life.
Got to go. Nikki just came in and told me she is hungry. For a creature who can't speak, she has an incredible gift for communicating. Eyes, paws, and body language. So, I'm off for now. I'll be back soon.
