On Sunday, I opened a new journal. My previous 2020 journal, March 1-October 31 was completed. This year I am using my journal to write gratitude haiku: #gratiku. What a week to start a new journal! November 1 blue moon sets November arrives new notebook November 2 I voted for democracy fingers crossed November 3 geese chorus November grey days yes to change November 4 while sleeping democracy at work counting votes food, drink, class welcomed distractions smashing nerves November 5 dog snuggles a rainy day relieves tree November 6 the tide shifts overnight, peace dreams hope sunrise ************************************* Did you know? 55 days left in 2020! News alert: Next week I will have information about the New Year Postcard Exchange ![]() Please go look at at all the poetry goodness flooding the iInternet today. You can find it at Susan at Soul Blossom Living.

These are lovely and positive and such a photograph of life in this time. I love them. 11/7/2020 04:01:05 am
A gorgeous daily journey of Gratiku and an artifact of this week, indeed. Somehow those animals - chorusing geese, snuggling dog - impart such peace. Maybe in their familiar reliability...

The PERFECT week to start a new journal. We are turning pages (and corners) as we move toward a more democratic future. 11/8/2020 04:56:08 pm
Jone, your thoughts surface as a call to action revealed. In response to your #gratiku journaling, I write: 11/8/2020 07:33:23 pm
I love your Gratiku! Thanks for sharing your poems and sketches. Gratitude is always important--what a wonderful daily practice.

Congrats on finishing a journal and starting another! I petered out with my gratitude journal sometime in October. I just couldn't keep going, although I have reasons to be grateful. Now I'm grateful to not be doing it, ha ha. I like "hope sunrise." Comments are closed.
