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".

Living, a poem - Anita Holzberg


In truth
 the day begins
  the pains go away
we have a clean slate
we can conquer the next horizon
Like fish we swim
Looking towards the light
Light shimmers
Light beckons
Light becomes something more

I listened to my friend
She endured a lot
We traveled many miles together
now, separate lives
We come together sometimes
Life is about chance and change
Never underestimate intuition
I live by my gut
I hear the sequences
I pray for the good outcomes

In the summer of now
I come up with a plan
To live every day
To experience what life is about
To love with a full heart
To help others
To open doors with my mind
To weep with friends
To stand free of criticism
To love myself more
and to hug my grand kids
who are our future
Their beautiful faces welcome
   me
 make me feel more alive!
