Who was trying so hard to rally

A Good Day for Exercise

Exercise your body — take a long walk outside.

Exercise your mind — tackle a puzzle.

Exercise your soul — worship.

Exercise your humanity — be kind.

To lose the last day of preparation
For a talk before the Rotary Club
But sometimes snow happens

Cheating

January 23, 2023January 23, 2023 Sally7 Comments

I don’t consider myself an artist
(You’ll understand when you see my “art”)
But it feels like cheating
To use pencils
Before paintbrush
