Even Though

I will...

Delaney and me playing and singing at Three Falls Woods.

I will admit I don’t want a repeat of 2022. I’m happy to look ahead and start a new year. Maybe you have a similar sentiment.

I wrote many poems in my journal, like this one below, in 2022—Even though…I will.

This kept me grounded and at peace during the circumstances that I had no control over.

Even though 2022 was not what I hoped for and brought many hardships I will look ahead to 2023. I will not be shaken.

Onward and upward to you and yours in 2023!

         Even Though

Even though my back is
out of sync. And my left hip
has the niggles. Even though it
is raining and the wind is fierce.
Even though my mentality is 
“just make it to the next day.”  
Even though it is cloudy with
no sun in sight. Even though my
husband is healing from chemo
and not feeling himself. Even though
2022 was full of loss, pain, and uncertainty.  
I will play. 
I will sing. 
I will write. 
I will be joyful. 
For what else is better to do?
