Today at RDP, drkottaway asks us to get
creative with the word ‘praise’. Thanks, Doc!
Here’s where the prompt word took me.
Tag: Thankful
RDP Monday: opportunity
Today at RDP, we are asked to share a story,
poem, photo, painting, essay, etc., focusing
on the word ‘opportunity’. Here’s my take.
Bill: A Dectina
Yesterday’s prompt from Sadje
for Just Jot it January 2024.
Here’s my tardy but heartfelt reply.
☕️ 🥯
With
Humble
Gratitude
For my husband
Who, every morning,
Without hesitation,
Brings me my coffee in bed.
Sometimes he’ll bring a warm bagel.
I couldn’t ask for anything more!
With humble gratitude for my husband.

WITH HUMBLE GRATITUDE
It is a great thrill for me to announce that my poems will be included in “HIDDEN IN CHILDHOOD”, the latest anthology edited by Gabriela Marie Milton, scheduled for release the end of this month on Amazon. Among other works, Gabriela is the author/editor of the #1 best-selling poetry collection “WOUNDS I HEALED: THE POETRY OF STRONG WOMEN” (which also features two of my poems).
To be included in this newest anthology with so many incredibly talented authors is a proud achievement for me; I am humbled and grateful. Many thanks to Gabriela for giving me this amazing opportunity.
