clenched in frozen fist light leaks 'tween winter's fingers watery and cold #DailyHaikuPrompt

A new day. A new chance to succeed. Little on the docket. A good thing since I'm feeling scattered. Not pulled in different directions as much as spread too thin. A bag of marbles dropped on a wood floor. Ideas like cat's eyes rolling every which way. Some lurking under the fridge, others a danger to walking. Word of the year. My next writing project. A game I'm playing. The pending remodeling. Oh, and holidays. Deep breath. Whatever your day brings, I hope your marbles behave #today

through winter's long night grinding slowly as it goes wheel of seasons turns #DailyHaikuPrompt

A new day. A new chance to succeed. Survived yesterday's wind event. The heaviest winds arrived near sunset but they were not as strong as predicted. I'm thinking about future proofing. Some small things would have made a big difference if I'd needed them. A Coleman camp stove to cook on. Mines 40 years old and I don't trust the gas line. A rechargeable solar battery pack to recharge phones and flashlights A weather radio Gives me ideas. May you find inspiration in your day #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed. We'll be battening down the hatches this morning. Preparing for a high wind event forecast for this afternoon. Some areas in the foothills have already had power cut as a safety measure. Easy to get swept up in anxiety. In what if...? It should be a short duration but who knows these days. While the winds will die down, it could take some time for the infrastructure to be restored. May your hatches all be battened securely #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed. Very distracted morning. Spent too much time on the shiny things this morning. Some days I can dig in and get things done right out of the box. Others take some coaxing to get on the path. In any case, there's still plenty of time to get wood chopped and water carried. To get the important things done. May you find the time you need to get the important things done in your life #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed. Sometimes things happen by chance. A confluence of influences invokes some arcane turbulence. A fluke power flutter blew my machine offline yesterday. After resetting all the electric clocks in the house, my computer wouldn't connect right. Did all the rebooting, troubleshooting, etc. Somethings worked. Some didn't. Until suddenly it did. Like, I went for coffee and came back to it all working. I hope your day is less inscrutable than mine #today
