We hunger for change,
but not too much too fast.
We like to invest ourselves 
in things we think will last.

Our blogging world
is a treasure to me,
making a frame
around wild seas.

When a blogger shares
some life event
it deepens our
friendship.

It also helps us
feel less alone.

Someone to
see us, hear us,
to care.

So what's going on?
Just a lot of normal change!

Sharing with you
puts it all
in perspective.

Exciting developments
to follow in time.
Thanks for lingering.
You help me
feel fine.

We cherish our routines.
They certainly help us
make sense of our time.

But when time comes
that change is blowing,
our old ways of knowing
can weight us like stones.

So
nourish essentials;
and may you have
Luck in knowing
all what that is;
While shucking 
all else to the bins.

What to keep?
What to mourn?
What is just now
being born?

Every dusk,
brings forth a morn.
I have learned to
look forward to
new dawns.

                         Fondly, cloudia
