What time of year is it? Time for lame poetry, you say? You're right! Here's my 2012 attempt:
Full of laughter, full of cheer
Thankful for another year
Highs and lows, then side to side
Writing is a crazy ride
Every day, each writer knows
We're thankful for the gift of prose
The right word here, a comma there
Polish, send it, do I dare?
Of course you do, the world deserves
To delve into your worthy words
Beaten down? Then start anew
That dream of yours looks well on you
My kids are home from school again
I'll close the laptop, cap the pen
I wish for you what you love most
Let's raise a glass and make a toast
Friends and family, hands held tight
Bringing in the new year right
There you have it! I'll return to the blog on January 8th. As always, I'm so thankful for the joy and wisdom you've brought into my life. I sincerely hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and an exciting 2013.
What's your most special memory from 2012? And where will you spend the holidays this year?

Ohhh... Julie, you totally captured the essence of who we are here! I love this. I want this on my wall! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd my most special memory? Probably connecting with Karen. :-) And holidays are here in Utah with too many parties to count.
Hope your season is beyond fabulous, Julie. You're such a wonderful/strong presence in this community! <3
Morgan, signing with Karen definitely is a highlight! What a special time for you. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday :)
DeleteI liked the poem!
ReplyDeleteI have too many special moments this year to name just one.
Have a wonderful Christmas and we'll see you in a few weeks.
Alex, you're definitely blessed. I hope your 2013 is just as wonderful as 2012!
DeleteHmm? Part of what I'm trying to do - especially with as difficult as it is to be an indie - is to keep looking forward, so I really don't know about special moments this past year. I am on vacation for my traditional two weeks during the holidays. We will be home, and I hope to work a bit less on the laptop and enjoy the season a bit more.
ReplyDeleteCheers to you and yours, my dear friend.
Merry Christmas!
-Jimmy
