Weekly Goals

I didn't accomplish any of my stated goals, but I wrote one poem, The Angry Man. I started two others, Beneath The Cross, and The Day (which I am writing for a friend). Most importantly, I finished the poem I began writing for Sanita, quite some time back. It was long overdue! When I joined WdC, I was in the midst of a very deep depression. The friendly welcome I received was the beginning of my recovery. Depression is something I struggle with every day, and have done so for a number of years, but November and December of 2013 are among the worst I had experienced. I attribute my improved state of mind, and indeed, my continued longevity, to three things (in order of occurrence): 1) my discovery of WdC, and my decision to join 2) The friends I met here (including Sanita and ElaineEsme) 3) Visits with two of my kids (and their kids), whom I had not seen for quite a while.
So, I extend a very heartfelt thank you to Sanita, ElaineEsme, and all the others here on WdC, who have sent notes and reviews of my work. Your encouragement is greatly appreciated.
