Making good Mondays is like making coffee -


The week is before us - like the coffee pot - waiting to brew. Making it good is a matter of choice, luck, creativity, patience and acceptance of the outcome.

Currently at Making Good Mondays

Active elements on this page: In the side bar you can find features of the day - a quote and NASA's image of the day. There are also active slide shows - Blogger Play, Life is Good and Spacey Shots. At the end of this column are a list of my regular Twitter updates and two current paper.li "newspapers". Occasionally I will publish a new blog post, but I write mostly at other sites. Blogs where you can also find my writing:

Happy New Year to You, Dear Earth















I want to wish you . . .
A Happy New Year, dear Earth.
You deserve better than a penny's worth
Of righteous effort from us.

I want to wish you. . .
A better bunch of friends in high places.
You deserve a set of brand new faces
Honoring their Bully Pulpits.

I want to wish you. . .
A decent shot at normal temp trends.
You deserve relief from over extended
Fossil fuel fires of waste.

I want to wish you . . .
A Chilly Winter at both your poles.
You deserve fewer gaping holes
In those precious ozone layers.

I want to wish you. . .
A Happy New Year, dear Earth.
You deserve at least a rebirth
Of higher rescue aspirations.

Belinda, I, indeed, am having a pretty good New Year. I appreciate your warm comment.
I visited your two websites, the gallery and your journal. Your work is beautiful -- lovely images and words. Yours is the first blog that I have seen in bilingual form. That is a lot of work and an impressive gift to your readers. Thank you for that.
You have only been doing this for a few months. I hope you are enjoying the experience.
I will visit again. I think we both might enjoy getting to know each other. We have lots in common. Happy New Year to you, too.
