Love this quote I found from Lily Tomlin: "For Fast-Acting Relief – Try Slowing Down"

        This week, after our Expo, our school was on vacation. I had things to do, personal and for work, too, but I did try to have some s.l.o.w time, to stay lazy early in the morning, to write more just for me, and to read more. It was a nice week.

I saw: my son, daughter-in-law and grandson who live in Texas, a short visit, but so great to be with them! I posted this Tuesday too, and here they are again!

I took more photos of the sky.

I wrote more poems!  I've been writing poems to color prompts for Laura Shovan's birthday month poetry challenge. Some are pretty good; some are not, but I've written one almost every day-great practice.  Here's one I enjoyed, using both color words given this time, aloe and zinc:

zinc

Finding Face

From aloe to zinc,

she bought her beauty

at the nearby Walgreen’s,

filling the cart

with an alphabet of

make-up,

rejecting Mother Nature’s

paint job.

I finished Elizabeth Wein's second book, Rose Under Fire.   Code Name Verity is the first one, although they are only peripherally connected. I've been yearning to read this second one for a long time, just couldn't get to it-beautiful story. First book I cried over in a long time.  Both are beautifully done.

I listened to some favorite music.

                Do you know the world group, Playing for Change? Awesome to see and listen to children playing and singing all over the world. Here's one piece from YouTube. You can find many more, from numerous adults too!

                And that's my week, a very good one.  Hope your week was terrific, too!
