Dear Friends,

In the coming weeks, I will be posting much less than what you might be used to.  I am dealing with some health issues, and as you can imagine, my thoughts are scattered all over the place.  My writing has taken a hit because of it, and I need to step back and re-evaluate.

I will still be doing Morgan’s #DailyHaikuChallenge.  After 219 days I’m sure as heck not stopping now!  🙂 And my Wordless Wednesdays, with perhaps less photos. But my actual writing will be sporadic, at best.

Please feel free to stop by and read past posts, leave me a comment, even if it’s just to say hi.  I may not answer you right away (as some have already seen) but know that I am reading and will get to you ASAP.

This is life….and we battle on, and we sure as hell don’t give in.  I know I don’t….

Until we meet again..

Much   ❤
Dorinda

Thoughts..because of the terrorism attacks taking place around the world…Be safe.


The warmth was no more

Much like the black char of

An empty fireplace, barren

Of fire, a flame diminished

The heat, no longer, a spark

Doused by many, rekindled

By none, who knew not why

Nor how, to stoke the flames

Repair the resilience, before

Humanity, is but a pile of ashes

On this, and every Memorial Day, remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us, so that we may continue to live in freedom.  May God always hold them in his loving hands.

My heart goes out to those who have lost their lives to another senseless act of terror and to those injured in the bombing in Manchester.  To all my friends, be vigilant, be brave, be safe  ❤


I have started the lines, of so many verses

Regarding the destruction, from evil men’s curses

I’m not quite sure, if I’ve made any sense

The feelings inside me, are much too immense

So I will simply send love, to the other side of the pond

We stand strong beside you, from the here and beyond!
