So many people in Haiti are in captivity right now, held by kidnappers. Years ago, a friend who had cancer told me to be thankful every time I wasn't in pain. I have remembered that many times. In the same way, yesterday I did what I wanted and was thankful to be free, not held against my will, but able to spend my time how I wished. So many are denied this privilege.

Breezy afternoon
Birdtober? Gratiku? What's up with me and these made-up words
and daily posting? Well, I've learned that a tiny little burst of
creativity each day helps keep me going, stops me from being entirely
fixated on the mess. That's why I post daily photos on Facebook. And
that's why I'm doing these writing projects. This one is a daily haiku
about something I'm thankful for. (A gratitude haiku - get it?) As long
as the internet keeps working, I'm going to try to post one every day in
November.
