Brighten My Day


Like the Sun



The warmth on my face
Promise of a tight embrace
I cherish the shine




See, I'm still on my haiku kick....
The weather was magnificent today.
It's a shame that I spent so little time outside.

You might recognize this lovely from recent post

I'm glad that the votes are in and everyone is warming up to the idea of the new banner.
One comment in particular that I would like to highlight is from Kate @ art vein vessel:

"
I'm assuming the old banner (which I also love) is of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where you live. So it's interesting that your new banner has a globe, which hints at a broader scope and perhaps represents the direction in which you want to wander."

Now that's an astute observation.....
I'd have to say that it was my subconscious adding it's two cents.
However unintentional it may or may not have been, it definitely holds truth.
I have gotten a lot more comfortable with the idea of going to the places I have always dreamed of seeing.
My list gets longer and longer....
For now we'll stick with road trips eh?

  2. Oh and I forgot to add. About traveling.. ironically last night a painted a picture of a young girl traveling that fit very well with your blog. Since I am new I am not 100% sure how to post the picture in the blog but I will put it as my profile picture so you can take a look!
