Between Friends: On This Day

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".

On this day

I repent not

I wallow not in pity

I pass on negative thoughts

On this day

I follow the lead of my cat

Looking for her patting

Purring with gratitude

Waiting to be fed

On this day

I take a simple life

read "Under the Wide and Starry Sky:

About the life of Robert Louis Stevenson

and his wife Fanny

I read til the cows come home

I do my taxes

I make amends to sky

On this day

I rotate my tires

I eat a fig bar

I simply look at my garden

My geraniums are blooming

The sky is clear

The day is brimming with good ideas

It's going to be a great day!!
