    Ooh, I like that, ‘today is tomorrow’s recall’. Makes me want to make this a great day, so when I look back on it, I smile! ❤

    Hi Vashti,
    I was wondering if you would be interested in being part of a “Haiku Hub” I am thinking of setting up on my blog. If you would like to be included just let me know in a reply and I will add your blog to the Hub Page. I am hoping to get as many Haiku writers together to share their writing.

      Hello TJ! I’m sorry for the late response. I was offline for a couple of days and am now trying to catch up. I would love to be included. Thank you for thinking of me. Is there anything you require of me?

    They’re all profound, but I always loved Maya’s quote about the breaths we take. ❤

    The last one made me laugh. My husband always says he’d hate for me to work at a job like his because it would steal the color from me. I guess he sees I can’t be normal. 🙂

      Ha, ha! What your husband said was so adorable! I love that. I completely get that too. Even being in the medical field I’m a little out of the ordinary which is okay. 😉 Hugs ❤ Kisses
