Your haiku and the photos are so cute! We all have rough days... part of life I guess. It's OK to have them now and then. Don't be hard on yourself. enjoy your weekend!
I know that he still has your back... Love the kitty haiku - reminds me of my Little Boo who laps milk from my cereal bowl in the mornings. He knows the sounds of the bowl and the box being taken from the cupboard very well and follows me around until he gets his ! Sending light and love to you, Brave One.
Love the postcard and the treasure of the kitty photo. You are in my thoughts, you know. There will be hard days followed by sunshine. Hugs to you dear friend, love Sharon
You used the postcard and the photo as the jumping off place for your haiku--which is what I do! I need something to get me started. When I saw your images and read your words, I started smiling!
Adorable kitties - nothing can be much cuter. You are going through a very rough patch right now, I know. It is so very hard - but it does get easier with time. Be good to yourself! Carol
I'm lifting my teacup to you. It's got to be so hard, and you are entitled to a not-so-good day when you need one.....just so that you get cosy with a cup of tea right after.
Dear Snap~ I remember when I first met you. It was the new Japanese face of haiku introducing the irreverent baseball! I loved it! Now here you are with the kitties lapping up milk and tea! Then I read about your husband losing his fight, and I was sorry I missed visiting you, consoling you. I went back through your blog (beautiful, btw!), and I saw your birthday celebration.. You're doing all the things that help: letting family and friends in, taking joy from moments in the day. These photos and charming haiku show that. I am sorry for your loss, Snap. You are a lovely person, and I wish you all the best.
I had so much fun last week combining postcards and haiku that I thought I'd try it again!
This postcard is from The Cat Postcard Book published by Running Press.

So many of you have left wonderful comments and sent me emails asking how I'm doing and cheering me on.I had a telephone call last week from the protocol nurse who was so helpfulduring Mr. Dragon's chemo, radiation and surgery ... that all went for naught.It was a rough telephone call. I'm afraid I wasn't very *nice*.I told my step-daughter that I guess I'd too many good days and needed a really rough one!I am managing. Almost through all the estate paperwork.But I miss him and I know I always will.He had my back and I had his.My back is lonely.
***
Wishing YOU WELL and a JOY filled weekend.

They're both great images, and Haiku is not something I've ever tried.
