A new day. A new chance to succeed.
A day to recover after overdoing it in the yard yesterday.
A day to deal with some bookkeeping chores, a grocery run, and laundry.
A day to make bagels for breakfast tomorrow.
A day where, if I do all that, I'll need another day to recover tomorrow.
Sometimes life just piles up on me.
It would be easy to let the tasks overwhelm me. In truth, most of them are things I want to do and just need to start.
I hope your day starts smoothly #today
rising at sunset
the full moon knows no time zone
always sets at dawn

We have a few grackles, mostly boattails, but my neighborhood has been adopted by a flock of crows this winter. Several of us put out peanuts for them.
Fascinating flock dynamic.
Reminds me, I need to refill that feeder again today. :D
Try PITT Artist's pen. Disposable. No refills. Porous tip gives some feedback and lays down a solid line.
Any of UniBall rollers are also good. I'm partial to Vision Elite when I can find them.

You find the most interesting things ...

Some days, my "one positive thought in the morning" gets a little dark 🤪
calling out murder
perched high in a naked tree
raucous blackbird caws

A new day. A new chance to succeed.
Routine, single-digit day. Not just the temperature but, I think, my general outlook on the day.
I'm feeling like just giving it the single digit - you know the one - and crawling back into my cave.
I won't.
I have responsibilities to deal with. Things I want to do. Selfish things. Stuff that's important to me, even if not to others.
I'll do those the best I can and the rest?
Single digit.
May you have a fulfilling single digit day #today

I wonder how many writers do.
So many see getting their books into bookshops (where they have the least chance of being noticed) as the grail.
soft spring evening wanes
day's warmth slowly ebbs away
night's cold gems revealed

A new day. A new chance to succeed.
Two steps forward. One step back.
Some see that as a setback.
I see it as a rich opportunity.
Not only do I get to re-examine that prior step for details I might have missed. I also get to pick what might be a better choice going forward based on better information.
With greater insight comes greater possibilities.
It's not a setback.
It's learning.
I hope you have a chance to learn something better #today
#tommw 50F mostly cloudy. Breezy.

The ? is an end-of-token maker.
Since no additional tokens are required in the first example, the ? is not needed to terminate the link.
It is needed in the second because the time stamp token follows.
Lotus blossom crowns
Adorn the dirty waters.
Earth bound roots sustain.

Happy times long past,
Memories in a teacup.
Laughter still echoes.

A new day, a new chance to succeed.
Success today means something different than most days, I think.
The long series of "drop and pickup" doesn't seem like such a burden today.
Partly because I've had to take a deep breath or two, step back, and just stop to ask:
Why has juggle become struggle?
Why has writing become work instead of art?
The answer to the first question appears in the second.
I hope you find answers to some of your questions #today
Using blood red ink,
Time writes with a scratchy quill.
Flawless penmanship.
#DailyHaikuPrompt
Another day, another chance to succeed.
Yes, the calendar page flipped, but, if you think about it, every morning starts a new month, a new year, even if the calendar doesn't change.
But I keep my focus on today.
What can I do to make the world better today?
How can I help someone today?
How can I be a better me today?
I juggle a lot, dropping my fair share, but sometimes the pattern comes together.
I hope your pattern comes together for you #today
Fruit ripens slowly
Bright summer's long surrender.
Bright coals turn to ash.

I think "stillness" will be my meditation for today.
Thank you.
