Between Friends: I have stopped fighting who I am

Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,

their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in

June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing

the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann

liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and

Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,

the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog

site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK

(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the

computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share

yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

I dust myself off

I stand at attention

the battles still continue

I have put down my arms for myself

I have stopped fighting who I am

The by product is no anxiety

The by product is happy thoughts

In the end we all want to be happy

Happiness is ephemeral like the fleeting winds

or the sea before us

Ocean sized thoughts today for peace and tranquility

Peace is important too.
