waiting
for the coffee
by a window
and the leaves
in a little wind
seem like wings
of a small bird
or butterfly

long winter night
many years
go through my mind
the decades deepen
trust in God
and my heart is at peace

Reusable Art is another well-organized site, where I enjoy research for images.
A Merry Christmas Sled is by Ellen Clapsaddle.
I am slowly reviewing my 2019 blog archives.
I love the Lord,
because he hath heard my voice
and my supplications.
Psalm 116: 1 (KJV)

gifts of small moments
when I read and write
in the middle of all
that happens every day
in our worlds
large and small
I am more than content
with what I have
and have achieved
goals revised
and rewritten for now
When my spirit
was overwhelmed within me,
then thou knewest my path.
Psalm 142: 3a (KJV)
routine care
and happy to wait my turn
I watch the world go by
and my heart
fills with love
Blessings,
Ellen Grace Olinger
This week I reviewed some of our archives, and created posts for Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. Readers of this site will also be familiar with some of the content.
Time and Place: Grateful for Parks in Town
The first two posts include many of Karl’s photos. I like to think we are adding to the record of our local history. As I reviewed, I saw that I wrote several new haiku this year, and created a post for the poems.
And I wrote a post, Christmas 2019, for Quiet Christmas Poetry, so readers know the book is still available, with information about where to order. We created the book from the site in 2014, and I write an update once in a great while. Perhaps the book will be an introduction to blogs for some readers.
