Puppy Buds

{Post: 212/365}
a pair of dogs
the best of
friends
both
content
and also 
occasionally
jealous for attention
but truly the epitome
of friendship
Max fell in a hole
and couldn't get out
stuck and getting  stressed
Tom jumped in the hole with him
and showed him the path
up and out again
to safety
back on track
in the adventurous life
of a pair of
puppy buds!

Friendship

{Post: 211/365}
friendship
is the quality
or condition of
being friends
finding common ground
having good will 
for one another
sharing
stories
the ups and downs of life
a good meal
joys and sorrows
weddings
children
family
and all those
precious moments
of life


Fellowship

{Post: 210/365}
like-minded
people
who attend
meetings
or church
together
share fellowship
and community of interest
or feelings about the subject
it is a friendly
relationship
of shared thoughts,
feelings
and goals
and fine companionship

Free

{Post: 209/365}
when you are
NOT
imprisoned or
enslaved
not
controlled
by another's will
or an obligation
not affected or restricted
by a given 
circumstance
unobstructed
unguarded in 
expression or manner;
open
when you are
liberal and lavish
voluntary or spontaneous
not bound, fastened
or attached
to people
to things
to any part of life
you are
FREE

Forgive

{Post: 208/365}
ceasing to feel
resentment
against another
who has
done you wrong
is to
forgive
you can absolve them
of the offence
and move forward
it doesn't mean
there are no consequences
of the action
or that 
moving forward
includes them in your life
from this point on
it only means
you set yourself
FREE
from the pain
and resentment
and that you allow
your heart

White Crane Spreads Its Wings

{Post: 207/365}
white crane spreads its wings
the newest move
in my repertoire of
tai chi moves
this week 
I will
practice
and learn it well
from
beginning tai chi
grasp bird's tail
reach (push) up, pull back, press forward and push
single whip
raise hands and step up
and white crane spreads its wings
it is as far as I have gotten yet
 in learning the form
but I did also manage to learn
cloud hands
and it is my fave
:)

Alone

{Post: 206/365}
there are times
when i know
I am alone
there are times
when I feel
that I am ALONE
and I know
that I follow
my own path
I take 
my own journey
and I AM alone
and yet
sometimes
you travel
a similar path
alongside me
your own path
your own journey
but we can support
and encourage each other
to continue
to strive
to believe
to love
to live
to never give up
to find joy
and peace
and happiness
and I thank you
for travelling with me
for sharing a small part of the journey
and for helping me
continue
to find my own way
