beauty of trees
shaped by the wind

What are your biggest challenges?

My answer to this question would vary over years and decades. These last years are about growing older as well as I can. I follow a good health plan every day. Good progress, and I am grateful to many people. Blogs work well. We live in our home, and if I should need more care some day, my blogs will go with me! Wonderful to know.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Matthew 11: 28 (KJV)
Take good care!
Haiku: Light and Seasons
new year sunrise
light fills
the red poinsettia
seeing new details
in the old painting
February light
kitchen window
forsythia in bloom
and a daffodil in light
green ferns
in morning light
bird songs
sunrise
small branch growing
from the old tree trunk
summer sun
thrift store bowl painted
with leaves and fruit
staying with the light
I read in different corners
of the house
painting a new day
with grace and prayer
watercolor sky
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119: 105 (KJV)
“new year sunrise” was published by WestWard Quarterly, Winter 2021.
Haiku are by Ellen Grace Olinger.
sometimes it seems
sometimes it seems
the older I grow
the more simple
my poems become
and yet they are
supported by years
all the ways life
challenges and grows
and I am grateful
for every day
and look forward
by God’s grace

My life has needed to change a few times, because of health. I have needed to revise some goals, and live in a more simple and healthy way.
And it is good to see others grow where I used to offer my gifts.
Good to reflect always. Life can grow in many ways. I also learned to be flexible. I am here creating this post, by God’s grace over decades.
Blogs work so well for me, and I am grateful every day. Take good care. Many blessings!
