“My life, I realize suddenly, is July. Childhood is June, and old age is August, but here it is, July, and my life, this year, is July inside of July.” – Rick Bass
Your Weekly Prompt –Unforgotten – July 15, 2021.
➰➰➰➰➰
You will always be unforgotten
Your essence live in my DNA
You have passed from this world
Yet you live on in your children
I remember you in my moments of joy
Or when I am overwhelmed with trouble
The thoughts of you always lift my spirits
Your memory makes the best part of my childhood
I hope to emulate you in my principles and values
➰➰➰➰➰
A poem to honor my father who passed away almost 17 years ago.

“Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.” – Sam Keen
Your Weekly Prompt –Network – July 8, 2021
♾♾♾
We all need our support network around us when we face difficult situations. Family and/or friends are so helpful with their support and advice. I, for one, cannot imagine being without my support network.
At times I turn to my family for support and advice and at other times, it’s my friends who provide comfort. This network is essential to maintain sanity and balanced views on life and overcoming the tricky challenges.
Without outside support, we can and do get overwhelmed, we lose our objectivity, and can make wrong decisions and choices. A person or group that has our best interest at heart can guide us through this maze of uncertainty. I rely on the advice of my support network because I know in a state of emotional distress, I can make mistakes.
Do you have a support network? Do you trust your family more with your problems or your friends?

“Twilight drops her curtain down, and pins it with a star.” – Lucy Maud Montgomery
Your Weekly Prompt –Twilight – July1, 2021.
♾♾♾
Here I am
In the twilight of my existence
The energy and vigor for life fading
The yesterday more powerful and vivid than today
Looking back brings me more joy and happiness
I remember what happened fifty years ago more than yesterday
Sitting in the slowly deepening shadows I contemplate
Think what is ahead and what has gone before
And oddly enough, I find my heart is content
With what I achieved or didn’t matter not
And I am ready for what comes next
♾♾♾

Ah, happy day, refuse to go!
Hang in the heavens forever so!
Forever in midafternoon,
Ah, happy day of happy June!–Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford (1835–1921)
Your Weekly Prompt –Happiness – June 24, 2021.
♾♾♾
People are running after a phantom they call happiness
They find it’s just an illusion when they try to grab it
It evaporates like a pleasant dream does when we wake up
So where do we find this precious commodity
It lives deep in our hearts, waiting for us to discover ourselves

Your Weekly Prompt –Celebration – June 17, 2021.
♾♾♾
A very happy birthday to you Eugenia! Hope you had a blast.
Throw a party and celebrate life
It’s a one way ride, enjoy it to the full
Each day that we are alive, is a cause of celebration
Our hopes and aspirations, dreams and goals
All weave a tapestry, colorful and bright
Like the starburst of brilliant nova, illuminate the world
Be someone they remember as a kind, generous being
Live and celebrate life everyday

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Nature – June 10, 2021.
♾♾♾
Surrounded by nature
Protected by nature
Beguiled by nature
Nourished by nature
We betray the nature
Stab it in the back
After all the kindness it has bestowed on us
A treacherous payback we offer
When it grows angry with us
Punishes us for the betrayal
We cry out and curse loudly
But still, we do not learn our lesson
Why do we insist on cutting the umbilical cord that sustains us?

Your Weekly Prompt –Meadows – June 3, 2021.
♾♾♾♾
Meadows of lush greenery and wildflowers
Remind us that there’s life beyond the concrete jungles
That nature exists outside of our busy, hectic lives
Once in a while step out of your demanding jobs and work
And take a breather, enjoy the nature
Recharge your batteries and be revitalized

Your Weekly Prompt –Mingle – May 27, 2021.
♾♾♾♾
Let them mingle
The colored and the colorless*
Let them share their life stories
And exchange views on their struggles
Let them find a common ground
And perhaps they will realize finally
That the color or absence of it
Makes no difference to who they are
Maybe there will be a point
When we all will realize
That color of our skin should not
Give or take away any privilege
Let them mingle, and then perhaps?
♾♾♾♾
( * I have used the term colorless deliberately because it seems strange to me that someone who is brown or black is referred to as “people of color”, while the Caucasian races are referred to as “White” …… Why? I think we all are different shades of brown!)

Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Magic – May 21, 2021.
Kindness is that magic that can change the world
Be kind because that’s the least you can do
Every single word, gesture, and action matters
When the motive behind is just kindness and nothing else
