                    5 Degrees

stillness 
of the frozen air
alerts my senses

sneakers 
crunch, squeak 
with each muffled breath 

fox tracks 
travel on my left 
eager to keep up

And even though my thighs burn
And my feet ache 
And it’s a bitter morning  

The road 
stretches to the stars
I’m almost in reach

Thankful Thursday…

Winter Writer's Camp— Keep moving and writing

I’m so thankful for The Winter Writer’s Camp. We got out of the house! We collaborated on a story and didn’t worry if it was good, right, or even useful.

We laughed, showed up, and created. I call that a brain triumph!

Thank you

Linda McLachlan

for the restack! I’m grateful we’re in the “relearn” and “begin again” times together.

Thank you

Tracy Chamberlain Higginbotham
