ʻIdál (Justice), 2 Sharaf (Honor) 176 B.E. - Wednesday, January 1, 2020

Facebook Status Update

I am dealing with 2020!
I am setting goals,
which I will reevaluate
at Naw-Ruz.

I am dealing with 2020
one day-at-a-time,
one prayer-at-a-time,
one cup of coffee-at-a-time.

Gratitude List for 2 Sharaf

Today I am thankful ...
          ...for the turkey drumstick I had for breakfast.
          ...that I have 679 in my Survey Junkie account.
          ...for the Christmas cookies I have to go with my coffee.
          ...that my bank of America account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this chilly winter's morning.
          ...that I h ave 2,269,024 GPs in my Gift Points account.
          ...for the merit badge I received.

New Year Poem1

I walk into the New Year
of 2020,
trembling with anticipation,
but without fear.

What adventures,
tears,
and pain
with this year bring.

I inhale the chill
in the air,
I look forward to spring,
Naw-Ruz,
and the vernal equinox.
