#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

gently falling snow
on tiptoe winter creeps in

2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 16,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
