Carpe Diem Writing and Enjoying Haiku #6 new ways T his has been the year when Hubby and I along with a whole bunch of other folks celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary . We actually started the celebration back at the end of June, our actual 'date'. It continued with a trip to France. Returning home we began working on The Party that was delayed till the grandsons returned from a summer in Canada. As we have friends our own ages, they, too, are celebrating 50 years. That means more trips. Unexpected strength of hurricane Harvey resulted in Hubby and I choosing to downsize even more. And how do two people stay together for 50 years of marriage? Well, forgiveness, understanding and a willingness to step together into the unknown of new ways. fifty years with the same man always something new keeps me guessing what's next? © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI ...

ReplyDeleteWishing you the best in the new year, Cheryl-Lynn. We are staying close to home for a while till the funding rebuilds for yet another trip!
DeleteHousekeeping? It sounds different, butas i look closer and re-read this haiku in response on our first prompt of 2017 then I think "Yes ... housekeeping is a kind of meditation and can also work like a pilgrimage in your own surroundings".
ReplyDeleteWell, there are two edges to the sword of housekeeping. One is it seems to never end.... The other is I find it cathartic to clean. A way to get things in order both physically and mentally. To sort through the cobwebs both in my home and in my mind... So, yes, housekeeping.
