Gratitude: 78

{Post: 78/365}

Today I am grateful for:

Japanese Bento

the creativity and fun of it inspires me to try it

and eat better myself!

Bento Gallery

Fun and Functional

{Post: 336/365}

crocheted

with love

it is not quite as good

as the real deal

but the point

is to share

a reminder

of something you love

in combination with

something you can use

and I hope 

it will be 

appreciated

if not as much as the 

edible one

sesame seed bun

hamburger patty

slice of cheese

lettuce

tomato

and red onion

coasters

fun and functional

Socks

{Post: 331/365}

socks in the 

laundry room

socks on the

floor

rolled up

in piles

in every corner

filling entire

clothes hampers

overflowing

onto the floor

mismatched

full of holes

woolly socks

sport socks

fancy socks too

and I HATE

to manage

this scary

sock affair

but I need

to purge

all the lonely

non-paired socks

to make room

for all the pairs!

Taking a Day

{Post: 330/365}

taking a day

to decompress

from all the stress

and pressure

I put on myself

no crafts

no writing

(except for this poem)

no cleaning

no research

no work

(except the dishes)

(and laundry)

but instead

some chats

some fun 

conversations

and bits of time

with friends

made my heart lighter

and recharged

my drive

to get everything done

Camping

{Post: 216/365}

packing up

to go camping

a long list

of items

NOT to forget

and YET

somehow

I still manage 

to forget things

and we had to borrow

from my brother

his wife

and our friends

but still

we managed

to enjoy our trip

and even better

NO sunburn!

Flirty and Fun

{Post: 179/365}

fun

feather boas

hanging above my bed

passionate purple

and pretty in pink

they tickle

and itch

so I wonder

am I allergic?

or do I just not like

feathers

as much as I thought

I would

flirty and fun

and yet

I prefer

that they hang on the wall!
