I love a good challenge, especially when it is one that involves creativity and friends. Though I haven’t done much online, challenge wise, I have entered a few articles and poems for publication. And when my daughter tries something creative, I join in the fun.
My most recent creative venture is to write about shoes…
And I was doing a pretty good job of it until I found myself diverted by subjects that are far removed from the friendly, outgoing, eager to be humanized shoes about which I was writing. As I procrastinate on my entry, I am finding other topics upon which to write – like this one: Together We Can…
When I first heard the words, I took up pencil (and if you know me you will know that this is something I just don’t do. Although I love to draw, having visual issues that don’t lend themselves to alignment and depth perception makes sketching my ideas difficult as what I visualize and what I sketch are often quite different) But I did – I took a pencil and began to draw: Together We Can Discover. My daughter, ever the cheerleader, thought it was “beautiful.” And, it was… okay.
Today I set pencil and pad aside and let my fingers play across the keys... and I invite you to join in the fun too… Together we can…???
Together We Can…
Discover
That we are more similar than different
That every journey begins with a step
That courage lives in us
That tears or okay
That love is a gift
That hugs, cuddles, and holding hands work wonders
That laughter is music
Together We Can
Explore
Our differences and accept one another
Nature – finding treasures abound
Words, images, sounds, song
Imagination and passion and dreams
Foods – from the sweet to the spicy and everything in between
Life and its lessons
Friendship
The shadows to find what lies within
Together We Can
Revel
In the power of ocean waves and the sweetness of smells
In the joy of freshly washed sheets
In one another’s dreams
In color and texture and materials
In freedom
In Choice
In change
In People
In the consistent and the Unexpected
Together We Can
Share
Our Journeys
Our Wisdom
Our support
Our homes and kitchens and computers
Our ideas
Our dreams
Our worlds…
Our hearts
Together We Can
Make a Difference
Fulfill Dreams
Explore new horizons
Provide comfort
Change the world…
Anything is possible
We can make it so…
Together

What a great tone to set for Monday!
TE -- I loved what you wrote. I think "together we can.." is such a great lead in. So, I'll play...
Together we can
Laugh and dance around life's flame
Connected with all who do the same.
Thanks:~)
Perfect Monday fare, indeed.
Hi TE .. these are wonderful words, and a lovely way to write a post .. words to remember, stories to tell from the memories they engender ..
and I love the Winnie-the-Pooh (84 years old now) quote above, which seems so appropriate to your poem and post ..
Thanks loves this .. and I love your design!
