down the street a tiny sweet dragon trick or treat! #304 #365daysofsybwriting22 #365daysofhaiku Such a gorgeous, warm and sunny day today. Perfect for the kids to go trick or treating. We had one kid more than we had chips for (Rob picked up BIG bags of chips as we get so few kids) and so had to break into the box of Wagon Wheels. That was 12 kids in total which is a lot for our little block, cut off by the railway tracks. A fun night. Rob hit upon the idea of big bags of chips several years ago--cheaper than a couple of boxes of Halloween candy which, given my diabetes, I really don't need to finish (much as I love to!) if there are any leftovers. Chips always find a ready home. Maybe slightly healthier for me at least. Lol. The kids all sent photos of the grandkids and their costumes. Always a treat to see. Hahaha. But I was even more mesmerized by Carole's porch which had three skeletons scaling the wall, stretching their hamstrings and just lounging around. Nothing too much to write. Life is trucking a long at a lovely pace, rather leisurely really. I'm working through a clutter clearing book and online course by Stephanie Bennett Vogt which actually seems to be working well. It's all about little steps and internal shifts. I can feel a huge difference. Perhaps also because of a combination of the other two books I'm reading at the moment: 'Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself' by Dr Joe Dispenza and 'Elemental Witchcraft' by Heron Michelle. They both emphasise meditation which I'm about to get more fully immersed in. At tai chi practice, we do a 5 minute standing meditation which is really quite wonderful although I resist doing it most of the time by myself. I'm still creating a daily haiku and photo. The top haiku was today's. That little dragon a few doors down is so cute. I captured his photo one morning after work. Following are a few more of this month's haiku. multi-coloured leaf nestles in purple mums I snooze after work #296 past fiery shrubs and bleached-bone birches, shadows flow downstream #300 gift of pink roses surprise at sunset love on each petal #299 A couple of deaths this month of friends made me sad, of course, and made me reflect as well. This last haiku was written in response and is very true, something we all know but tend to forget, as what we think of as life gets in the in the way. Cherish your passion, follow your heart and stay true to yourself. Thank you for reading. remembering friends time together too short use prettiest plates #289
