Family, coffee, sweets, smiles, and hugs

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

Having my family around me is heavenly,  as I’m surrounded by their smiles and ‘optional’ hugs (i say they’reoptional,  but really, they’redemanded.) All of those start my dau right, but only after a quiet cup of coffee, taken in solitude,  with my thinking cap and following up on writing challenges and contests. Lastly, sweets come in 2 forms: happy family and chocolate! The first I have an abundance of (blessed), while the other, I either bake to assuage my sweet tooth or get a really melt-in-your-mouth chocolate bar.

These things may seem simple or taken for granted. However,  I’m not one of those who does, as I believe it’s the simple things in life that give me joy. Take the time to celebrate them too, as they never last as long as you want them to.

Double Gold Certificate,  Skulled Doorway

Picture inspired poem -exert

Skulled Doorway

The road to Heaven is paved
In squeletons, crania, gaunt roots
And bare branches surrounding the opened
Doorway to a land appearing berefts

Of all humanity, vegetation,
But the barren ground is enrobed
By blues of heavenly hues, a partition
From the deserted ground, …

5th place Certificate of Excellence, Karma

Karma (exert)

All man-made laws have loopholes
That help people become fools

For not striding the narrow path
That emblazons morality in a breath

Radiating Karmic laws of wisdom:
Actions demand reactions, while calm

Patience are rewards in themselves, …

Tennis and ski

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

Why those 2 you ask? Well simple really, I loved playing those sports and white I watch,  I feel the exhiliration of a strategically placed ball that ends up being a winner. As for ski, I can imagine feeling the speed, the wind, the icy feel of the snow, the danger of a fall, all the while embracing the beauty of the freedom it gives as you ski downhill.

Back to normal

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

The only time I adopt the mask is when I’m sick, and I don’t wish to limit the spread of the virus I have. However,  I’ve seen first year college/ university students actually move away from a handshake or  hug. They’ve adapted by being less social by not knowing how to open a conversation or keep it going. More, they’ve become so afraid of covid that they’re distancing themselves from peers and using their phones more often to communicate.

2 poems, 2 certificates

2 certificates, 1 of Excellence, and 1 Gold, both honoring women for March is Women’s Month. In some countries, March 21, spring, is Mother’s Day as well, which elevates the celebration. My only regret is that, as we celebrate, other mothers around the world are being raped, tortured, and murdered horrifically.

Certificate of appreciation

Another poem, another certificate, the honor is humbling! I love writing, but when given a prompt, I feel the need to look beyond the picture and find the unknown element behind its beauty.

Certificate of Appreciation

Exert of my poem: Home Bound. It received a certificate of appreciation.

Home Bound

I’ve traveled far and long,
The journey was arduous
With many upheavals that long
For calm introspection, that’s generous

As hindsight will always
Bog you in regret, like a fog
That never dissipates and plays
Havoc with emotions that leap like a frog…
