predawn, birdsong
I yearn to have the whole day
but other needs call
few precious moments stolen
to focus on my own words

Notes: If you have the luxury to spend a whole day doing what YOU want, I envy you. I wouldn’t trade my life for any other — I’ve made my choices — but I wish I had more time for writing in each fleeting day.
Congratulations to USA Women’s Soccer who romped to a joyful win over Thailand in the Women’s World Cup yesterday! Blessings to Thailand for their spirit and perseverance!

Lovely to hear the birds in the morning–hopefully if they aren’t too early… I also have fleeting moments– I teach all year round. One can get good at utilizing small bits of time. Thanks for all hear Brenda!

You’re so right, but I have so many ambitions and so little time…. Trying to do a week’s gardening in one day. Achy, tired, but it’s looking better! 🙂

True words. Paying the bills can have the upper hand on our passion, I know about it and on countless dreams sacrificed.
