#Haikai Challenge II #5 (2/3/24): spring sea (haru no umi) #haiku #senryu #haibun #tanka #kyoka #haiga #renga #HaikaiChallenge
The game right now is girls’ high school basketball. The team is comprised of some less fortunate students and this game is an outlet. The game supplies emotional support as well as self esteem. “Only a game” is not the mantra here in this city. Pride in themselves no matter their personal circumstances is in the game. Next time you choose to attend a game, think about the individuals who against many odds, fight together to win.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
Easy Peasy Writes
February is a busy month for my family. My oldest son in NJ just had additional surgery, my only daughter has an anniversary and birthday this month and my oldest granddaughter has a birthday as well. Me, my daughter and her daughter are all twenty five years apart. ☺️ Not planned but it’s been great!
Of course it also reminds me of how old I am when my oldest grandson will be thirty this year, whoa! Most of the time I rock along not thinking of my age. That is, until I try to open one of those horrid childproof caps or seal a baggie😂
Have a great new week!
Sunday Confessionals – Checking in with February
The patch of dust was glistening on the low stone wall. Above, the sky was stitched with lines of shadows streaming the expanse.

The only mercy found were chilly drops of rain that fell to dispel them.

She made the mistake of buying new hiking shoes to impress Joe, but she felt blisters form as the anfractuous trail continued climbing. Trying not to show she was in pain. Joe noticed, and made her sit while he set aside bandages from his backpack. “We’ll rest here, have lunch, then cool our feet in the stream.”
