I have a few writing related goals for 2024, which I’ll share next week, but I wanted to get these out before I lost my nerve. One of my goals is to write a haiku every day. I’m very uncomfortable with poetry and think this will help me not only dip my toes in but record my days in different way than traditional journaling. (I started early, as I think 1/1 is an arbitrary day and there is no time like the present)
Here’s my first 2:
12/25/23
Saw the sun today
Beaming from my youngest’s face
Love so bright it hurts
12/26/23
Time for goals again
Weary hope in my breast and
Ink on my fingers
