My simple acrostic poem in answer to today’s daily WP prompt…my answer…kindness. I am dipping my toe back into the inkwell. I know it’s been a while. Suffice to say that planning and pulling off a surprise milestone party that you needed to know about because your lovely partner who planned the whole thing is wheelchair bound and generally unable to pull the final prep off without assistance, is exhausting! I said it a decade or so ago…getting old is not for sissies! I had NO clue back then…add to that the added stress of keeping the ruse and acting surprised…and the biggest part…the reality…the gravity of realizing that people my age are dropping like flies and the fact that I’m still here must mean something. Well I’ve spent long enough staring at my naval and I plan to get back on the saddle…though it takes a few tries and a stepladder these days. The muse has graciously let me recharge, and soak in every glimmer and wonder. I’ve saved them to share with you all. I do hope you’re doing well. It’s hard not to freak out at the state of the world ala a rapidly imploding trump. But there is encouragement to be found as the sleepy lemmings begin waking up from their stupor.

Be kind to yourself and to others my friends, and most importantly look for the daily glimmers to sustain you!

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you. Here’s mine for today. I have started noticing sunrises these days…new beginnings seems to be the theme. 🥰

Early morning sun…
…bursting through the trees…
You never know what you’ll find if you look a wee bit deeper! 😉
