I am so surprised and excited! My poem "Icicles" is being published in this week's Avocet. A publication on poetry about nature.

Here is the poem and pictures that go with it:

Icicles shimmer
Frigid cold air
Balcony railing
Overflowing snow
Beckoning teasing
Come out
If you dare!

Sun pillar out my front window. Sun rising further to the south. If you can enlarge the picture you can see the spectrum of color from green to orange.

Awe and wonder began my day....
when this blessing came my way!

Love to all, Marilyn

One of my best friends for over 30 years is leaving us slowly. Right now, he is still a wonderful person, just not the same person. Love him still, just miss him already. So, I will post it.
One of the hardest things to process is the slow change in the one you love. Becoming a completely different person. Everything changes. Just so you know...😢 It’s called the long goodbye. Rapidly shrinking brain is how a doctor described it. As the patient's brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are and become less themselves. Patients can eventually become bedridden, unable to move and unable to eat or drink or talk to their loved ones. There will be people who will scroll by this message because Dementia or Alzheimer's has not touched them. They may not know what it's like to have a loved one who has fought or is fighting a battle against Dementia or Alzheimer's.
In an effort to raise awareness of this cruel disease, I would like to see at least 5 of my friends put this on their timeline. I'll settle for at least one.💜💜DONE!!!

THIS IS A FRIENDS POST !!
Was cleaning around my house - I stopped in my tracks and sat down and just went down memory lane...All I can say is it wasn't pretty. I think I cried for over an hour with memories of what this time used to be for me and how it was filled with such love and anticipation - and now it brings back memories of the reality of emptiness and sadness.
So I would like to remind you that there are people for whatever reason are not looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families.
Some of us have problems during the holidays and are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us any longer.
For many it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at Christmas. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now.
If I don't see your name, I'll understand. I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly post this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares.
Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of all my friends just for moral support. I did it for a friend and you can too! 🩷💜
This is a friend's post I just copied and pasted it for her.
Blessings to all 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Thank you all for your prayers and support.
After 3 weeks of Long Haul COVID, I am out of Quarantine! YEAH!
Today, I masked up, went out and about and did a few things!
Yes, I tire easily! But I am so grateful to have the energy that is returning! I am taking life very slowly!

I want to thank all of you who did so much for me!
A little inside joke: "especially the "TP" 😉 I never had to find an old catalog!😉😉😉"

Seriously, I felt the warmth and support of your quick calls to check on me, thoughts, prayers, texts, healing energy, cyber hugs ~ all filled with so much LOVE! Sending LOVE!!!
