FREEWAY MADNESS HOLIDAY HAIKU TRILOGY
These were written for fun, but, honestly,
holiday travel can be a bit daunting,
even though we love road trips!
Hope you enjoy! 🙂
I. OBSERVATION
Driving or flying?
Benefit of tailgating?
Reckless road traveled
II. CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGES
More Innovation
Eco friendly progression
Helping Mother Earth
III. NIGHT ROLLING
Black sky surrounding
Red eyes watching us closely
Keeping our distance

Ringing in 2012!
It’s no surprise 365 days
have come and gone
in the blink of an eye
We wonder and ponder over time spent
and how it went so fast
Some days passed at a snail’s pace
but we seem to race the clock
on the good ‘ol days
If you believe in resolutions,
though, this is no substitution,
Let’s write a new creed…
Enjoy each day to its fullest
not thinking about tomorrow
Don’t borrow the future
Embrace the present
and repent, if you must
Learn to trust more often
Allow a new door to open
and relationships to deepen
Of course, this is a recurring creed,
yet, it fits for each year,
Don’t you agree?
So, let’s try again, My Friends,
with champagne, clinking glasses
and celebrations in the masses
No matter your new goal
Let the New Year roll in
with Smiles, Aspirations,
Hope and Inspiration~
Cheers and Happy New Year, Everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
May this holiday find you smiling
Enjoying priceless times with loved ones
Rejoicing in the birth of our Dear Savior
Realizing your blessings and finding peace
Yearning for the Holy birthday of the year
Caring for others who need their spirits lifted
Hosting family and friends in cozy get-togethers
Remembering, any act of kindness is truly a gift
Imagining the festive spirit throughout the New Year
Seeing the delight and wonder through a child’s eyes
Taking time and letting God’s loving light shine through you
Making magical moments that will turn into precious memories
Allowing yourself tranquility in the midst of the seasonal chaos
Silently saying a prayer for those who are in need of God’s healing grace

KREATIV BLOGGER AWARD
To begin with, I would like to thank
http://caddoveil.wordpress.com/, http://autumnsunshineandgabrielleangel.wordpress.com/ and
http://versenotprose.wordpress.com/
for nominating me!
Being nominated once is humbling enough,
but three times is beyond comprehension!
All I can say is I am truly thankful and grateful for this recognition and
for these three wonderful blogs I’ve had the privilege of reading
and the awesome bloggers I’ve had the privilege of getting to know!
Thank you, again!
The award requires me to a) tell you ten things you may not know about me and
to b) nominate six or more other bloggers.
Here we go…
1) I am finally able to pet other dogs without breaking down (our dog died last month).
2) I drive a gold Honda CRV and I love it!
3) I love the mountains and hope to live there someday.
4) Although, I’m also a country girl, so living on a ranch with many, many, many dogs and animals, is a dream.
5) I used to love watching Home Improvement with Tim Allen and was sorry it ended.
6) I never colored my hair until this year, after turning 50, but it’s highlighted and looks natural, which is what I wanted.
7) I am very emotional (tears of joy, sadness, anger, etc)…I have more water than the water company! 🙂
8) I didn’t finish college. 😦
9) I share the same dream with many of you, to publish a book of poetry.
10) When I was younger, singing was my passion.
And now here are my nominees, in no specific order:
http://everedwater.wordpress.com/
http://granbee.wordpress.com/about/
http://chicpress.wordpress.com/
http://thenaughtypoet.wordpress.com/

Congratulations to all the nominees and Merry Christmas!
