Spirits transcend the waters
Gliding through shadows
Unafraid of the muck
Layered below, for they know
Beneath, the mire contains
Another lost soul, searching
For a chance to find his way
Into the greater unknown
Writing Prompt – Maneuvering the muck – Day 17/31

For Cookie ❤
I decided to make a dreidel
But I didn’t have the slightest notion
How to even begin this endeavor
Still, I wanted it filled with emotion
So I grabbed a block of wood
And began to chisel away
Hoping to carve perfection
To celebrate Hanukkah’s days
I painted on the Hebrew letters
Purple, green, red and blue, to begin
“A great miracle occurred there”
Symbolized by nun, gimmel, hay and shin
I thought I did a pretty good job
With this new found toy, I played
Now I pass it on to you, my friend
With love, from my heart, it was made
Writing Prompt – Dreidels and Ladles – Day 16/31 (I confess, I left out the ladles lol)

The Magic of Christmas
Was born in a manger
In ever so tiny a space
With the brightest star
Shining His light on us all
Tis Jesus, our saving grace

In this season of thankfulness, I want to wish all my American friends a very Happy Thanksgiving, and to those of you on the other side of the pond, a joyous day!!
I give thanks every day for all of you, my friends, for being here for me, through my ups and downs, my self doubt and rediscovery. There aren’t enough thank you’s in the world to tell you how I really feel. Just know that I am forever grateful and blessed to know each one of you.
Have a wonderful day!
❤ Dorinda

A huge shout out to the men and women who have fought and are fighting still today. We salute you and thank you for your bravery and commitment to this proud country we call home. God bless you and keep you safe.
Next time you see a man/woman in uniform, extend a hand, or place one on your heart. Let them know you support (even if you don’t support the war) and appreciate them ❤
