Living Life
Here's the poem I wrote for a contest in March. The key word was "life."
To Live Life You Must…
Always notice rainbows
Listen for laughter
Inhale sweet scents
Dance with no music
Enjoy morning coffee, wine
Take walks, explore nature
Touch, kiss, hug
Celebrate when it’s not a holiday
Be spiritual but not preachy
Appreciate good friends, family
Have lazy days
Be productive, too
Soak up learning
Be yourself
Pass it on.
(No hubby, it doesn't rhyme, and yes, it's still a poem.) What are some of your favorite ways to live life?

My all-time favorite way to enjoy life is to travel. Would go, go, go, 365 days a year, if I could.
ReplyDeleteBTW--enjoyed your Quotable Quote. How appropriate with all the Mark Twain/Samuel Clemons anniversaries that are occuring this month.
ReplyDeleteTessa Mcdermid will be blogging this month about some of Mark Twain's short stories. I hope many of you will "pop over" and add to the discussion.
My new 6-worder: Mrs. Fairbanks' group--Mark Twain's critiquers.
Ginny, I love to travel as well. Really enjoy seeing new sites, how people live (especially in other countries) and love the fact that I don't have to cook while traveling!
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize it was Mark Twain's anniversary. Glad you made the connection.
P.S. You're officially hooked on six! :)
Traveling, my "thing."
ReplyDeleteHorse races, river cruises--
Real or imagined.
Haikus, six-worders--yes, I'm hooked.
BTW--FYI: 175th anniversary of Mark Twain's birth--came in with Halley's Comet.
ReplyDelete125th anniversary of Tom Sawyer.
100th anniversary of Mark Twain's death--went out with the next appearance of Halley's Comet.
Whoops! Anniversaries occur this YEAR not month--Tessa's blog is for this MONTH. Duhhhh! Forgive my "senior moments."
