#492- Thank you- it is my first anniversary!

in January 2011,  my world slipped into chaos and I fell out of balance

 in February 2011, I received a second blow that I did not know how to handle so I started to blog

early last May I started this blog because I was lost

writing haiku and senryu has helped to give me back some sense of control and order

perhaps it is the history, the connected feelings I have when I write, or simply the carefully counted syllables

it is now May 2012 I am still a little lost, the path I had chosen has been obliterated and my carefully orchestrated life is no more

I am grateful

this has been one of the best years I have ever “lived” because I have really lived

I am grateful to anyone who has ever read or commented on this blog

Thank you

I am grateful to the communities I have discovered through this blog

Thank you
