Loving Life

  • NaPoWriMo Day 10

    As much as it makes my brain hurt sometimes and I really hate creative deadlines (I can’t function without them), I really love NaPoWriMo as it pushes me to flex my creative muscles. I also draw and paint and can’t think of anything more rewarding than when I get what’s in my head onto paper…

    For the record I do have heart disease, diabetes and a few other health issues. I’ve bought and paid cash money for every one. Winston made poor choices. Don’t be a Winston. On Mortality. A pain, such pain deep in my chest, I wait for it to pass. My every breath is careful now, As…

    Any time I’m at a loss for inspiration, I can always rely on my muse. My angel Lynn… I love you! A BLESSING ON YOU ALL I look up at the night and see, The stars twink’ling above. I look beside, and there she is, The woman that I love. Which is the greater wonder…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 21

    I’m not sure why, but I seem to be on a bit of a nature kick this month. Maybe it’s because every time I turn around another piece of it’s been cut down, dug up or plowed over. Whatever the reason, I hope you enjoy todays poem 🙂 SEE THE BEAUTY “Good morning!” Says the…

    It’s Easter. For a lot of people, myself included, that means a long weekend. As often happens, it’s raining. Here in the capital of Canada, that is often the case. It’s spring and spring means rain. I don’t mind much because it’s actually my favourite time of the year. WELCOME SPRING I look outside at…

    I have a wonderful dog named Ducky. He is my buddy and I wouldn’t change him for the world. He is sleeping beside me on the couch and his snoring gave me the opening line for this verse. Who he is gave me the rest. Enjoy! I’m A Lucky, Ducky Dad There is a puppy…
