new ways September 03, 2017 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 Read more
tombstone January 28, 2020 Carpe Diem's Tan Renga Wednesday #11 family tombstone Five years ago this very morning my mother died. I had spent the night with her at the new nursing home we had just moved her to the previous day. She was not happy. Due to loss of eyesight in one eye, falling and breaking a wrist in less than 5 weeks she developed delirium. She was still enough of herself that as we were getting her ready for bed she made one statement. "I am gonna get up and walk right out of this place by morning." Around 7 AM I left to get a cup of coffee and stretch my legs. When I returned her life force was gone. adding father’s name to the family tombstone with room for my own © Nicholas Virgilio saints gather to greet arrivals she ran to Dad's arms © petra domina Read more
neighborhood of colors September 27, 2017 Carpe Diem #1263 neighborhood of colors After living for many decades in locations a little too monochrome in their occupants, I am pleased to be living in an apartment complex populated by a wide spectrum of colors and tones. What joy to look up while on a walk to see someone who looks nothing like a 70 year old white woman. To see the young mother in her hijab walking with her children. To hear the rhythm of a different language floating across the pool. To see the sun set profiling the gay couple as they embrace. Yes, I am loving this neighborhood of colors. jewels glisten at sunset © petra domina Thanks to Chèvrefeuille for daily prompts on CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI Read more
