Oh thank you so much Rebecca!! I appreciate the birthday wishes!. :) Sending you smiles and hugs from across the pond. oh, and your not the only one very behind. LOL
Happy birthday Julie wishing you a great birthday and an even better year. I give gratitude daily when I journal, today (as I sit in my recovery chair) I thought and gave gratitude for the beautiful December day, even if I am watching it through a window.
The celebratory tone of today’s post is evident. The result of living out loud? In harmony with the present? Words and image make that clear!
I’m grateful for the painted blaze on the evergreen’s trunk! Not unlike turning a key in a locked box where precious memories of past treks in wooded surrounds remain. (Blazed boulders in a waist-deep cold, rushing stream? Not so much.)
Thank you so much for this beautiful poem Gary! I love it. Oh yes, you noticed the blue marking I was following. :) I appreciate how well they mark the trails...I've had a few times when I've taken the wrong turn. HA!
Just lovely Jules. “Congregation of Evergreens “… heart soars on the wings of a red tailed hawk. I so resonate with both. Deeply. Thank You Birthday Poet.
I have always liked hiking in the woods! Not so much anymore, but I miss it. Thank you for sharing this! Hope you had a wonderful birthday with many blessings!! Love you!!!

Hi Howard, Thank you for the birthday wishes and I'm thinking of you. I hope your journaling has been helpful in your recovery so far.
I’m grateful for this poem! How softly your words float past, snowflakes transporting me to the woods in winter.
Hi Amie, I love that this poem brought you to the winter woods. :) Thank you for reading and commenting.

Snowflakes grace the trail
Red winged hawk soars over all
