forget calendars every morning with the dawn a new year begins #DailyHaikuPrompt

A new day. A new chance to succeed. The stress and short nights over the holidays caught up with me. I nearly slept until sunrise. This time of year, that's "sleeping in." A chop wood, carry water day ahead. I need to get my daily schedule re-established after a month long hiatus in December. Day 3 and I'm already having to play catch up. I'm out of Practice. But I've got time this morning, even if I am starting late. I hope you can take the time you need #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed. Few tasks requiring my attention beyond the normal Friday. The house still needs to be put back together. Mostly just rehanging drapes and some minor furniture adjustments. I'll put my new calendar up and start building the new year's picture, one frame at a time. It's still too soon to start a new project of any flavor. Figuring out what parts of last year I want to keep will be enough for now. May your Practice be fruitful #today

days strung on time's thread uncaring for calendars each day dawns anew #DailyHaikuPrompt

A new day. A new chance to succeed. I got swept up in a tidal wave of pressing tasks that had no business interrupting my morning quiet time. That's what I get for looked at my inbox before my inner self in the morning. Not an auspicious start for an auspicious day but perhaps a good one. I'm keeping Practice as my word of the year. It did yeoman's work last year, but I still have things I need to Practice. May your year get off on the right foot #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed. Workman done. Now the work begins to return the house to order. Drapes re-hung. Furniture put back where it belongs. Regaining equilibrium will take longer. Muscles overtaxed already will need extra rest so the recovery may be slowed. The calendar rolls tomorrow, adding its own small log on the psychological fire. But the house has become whole again. We will, too, in time. May you take the time you need #today

A new day. A new chance to succeed. The work on the house continues this morning. The crew will be here in a couple of hours. I have a moment to savor the quiet. I have food and coffee ready for the fam when they wake. We'll all need to be up and moving by the time the crew gets here. With any luck, they'll be done by end of day. I hope so I have Things To Do tomorrow. But for the moment, I have some peace and quiet and a fresh brewed cuppa. May your day have a bit of peace in it #today
