But it arrived just a bit later all stamped with corrections on the address. I believe I was the one to mess up the zip code...you'd think I'd know it by now! But I still have to think long and hard about the 8 and 9 in it!<br />Loved the multi-faceted swap! It is gorgeous. I'll share on Friday!<br />I'm going to attempt a Thursday post!

I love so many phrases in your poem - "rhyming whispers", "making pen and paper sing", and "whimsy of a write", to name a few. The poem captures a state of mind perfectly. It sounds like maybe a corner is being turned. I do hope life will feel more normal very soon. I think I recall a photo of a lovely surprise angel in the yard of your new home. I hope you begin to feel the peace and comfort we sometimes associate with angels.Joyce Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905709719444916488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-57543770543391121642019-09-01T21:20:42.633-04:002019-09-01T21:20:42.633-04:00It would have been easier moving if we'd done ...It would have been easier moving if we'd done it in a different order, but we did what we had to do at the time.

The city water here is so bad, I used bottled water to brush teeth and even as a last rinse for washing hair. Dog and cat even have bottled water!

I know that you have been in between states and unbalanced but your poetry skills have remained sharp. I admire how you let your story flow in such a beautiful rhythmic way. Best of luck to you. After we last wrote back and forth, the mail I sent you in PA came back to me. It had the wrong zip. I checked what was sent to me and I did send it to what I had but it was wrong. I hope you got the mailer finally.<br />Stay strong, Donna. Maybe, I will see you at Spiritual Journey 1st Thursday.<br />Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-87947649071596216342019-09-01T16:02:47.921-04:002019-09-01T16:02:47.921-04:00Oh my, I don't wonder that you are feeling di...Oh my, I don't wonder that you are feeling disorganized. Your life has been topsy turvey. We just moved (but only a couple of hours away, not several states), and I'm still trying to sort out everything. I hope things calm down long enough for you to savor some smiles and deep breaths. And you found a poem amidst the rush.

I'm glad to hear you're turning the corner. I am still at this stage: "While others gifted summer songs/I have sorted write from wrongs."
