Picnic Time

[jjhunter]

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

I had a nice, if occasionally difficult week. I wasn't feeling well at all towards the end of last week and that continued through the beginning of this week. However two of my friends (heart-family is probably the most appropriate term really) decided that I shouldn't be by myself and came down to fetch me and bring me up to stay with one or the other of them (I ended up spending several days with both, they live very close to one another) for a little while. Both of these heart-sisters have (or had) Chronic Lyme disease, so they know quite a bit about what I am going through right now. I am home again now, and thankfully feeling a bit better. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to writing soon, and get caught up on some poetree admin stuff. :)

Heart-family is a lovely term, and a beautiful thing to have.

Thank you. It is a very lovely thing to have indeed.
