I have always journaled but not regularly. This jar is next to my kitchen sink so every day or night I add a slip of paper to share what joy I have felt that day. The thank you is being thankful that I still DO have joys. A bird that seems to be singing just for me or a phone call, hearing the voice of someone who cares. The sunflower is my pen name when writing Haiku... Tournesol Have a great day today! 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CDCP4STBw9DUCxLo8y5GPWlNBYMVh6lYvuHoys0/?igshid=88xqc674semo

rumbling in the storm weeping for no apparent reason too heavy to bear

seeking relief with passion …and then, she picks up her pen

pouring all her thoughts emotions that weigh the heart returning to joy

grey looms within searching for the sun chasing blue rays

grey looms within cannot seem to stop raindrops tasting salt

searching for the sun shining in the sky yet, so faraway

chasing blue rays just, what doctors order “should” produce a smile

teardrops fall like leaky faucets – yet, no reason at all

purple turtles crawling ever slowly weight on her heart

purple turtles light and vulnerable once upon a time

crawling ever slowly feeding on every teardrop

Daily moments September 25, 2019 “missing Dom’ ” ~Troibun

  You know how the smells of certain food, the images of certain things like flowers or sounds like a song all bring you back in time reminding you of that special someone?  Time stops for a moment to allow you to place yourself back with that person. That is what was happening today as she waited by the stove preparing her lunch.
