A Joyful Respite

Taking a week off to just be

Tomorrow our staycation here at our home resort begins. I look forward to days of pure sunshine, days free of a routine, free of a schedule, just pure freedom to be. I look forward to the magic that will be created by these unstructured days of bliss.

During these few days I will also take a break from writing, but I will still be reading. I am always inspired by my fellow writer here on Illumination Henery X (long) who is so supportive and reads a lot. I will be channeling his wonderful energy and enjoying all of your beautiful writing next week.

Here is a poem to express the joy of a few days off:

Here is a toast to rest.

I raise my glass high.

I salute the magic of unstructured days.

I revel in the silence.

I take joy in the nothingness.

I await the surprises nature has to bring.

I anticipate the unknown with glee.

I enjoy the encounters with possibility.

I look forward to being still.

Thank you to all of my lovely friends and fellow writers here on Illumination. You have become part of my circle of light these past few months. I look forward to reading and enjoying your writing during my time off: Henery X (long), Michele Thill, Keno Ogbo, Aurora Eliam, CMP, KeepingItRealWithAnnick, Daniella Mini, Charlotte Zobeir Ali, Rasheed Hooda, Suntonu Bhadra, Gurpreet Dhariwal, Amy Marley, Niru, Terry Mansfield and so many other lovely writers!

Have an abundant week!
