“A bright New Year”
Thank you for your visits to Poems From Psalms And Nature.
The Psalms Series 2020 was an encouragement. I have only briefly looked at the 2020 Stats, but my sense is that the Psalms series is helpful.
Good structure for me as well, and I learned more technical skills. As I reprinted verses, I proofread carefully. This led to a focus on writing craft.
Most of all — faith, comfort, hope, empathy, love, gratitude, praise.
One day at a time. Take good care.
