Hi everyone,
We’re nearly packed and will probably get away this afternoon or in the morning for seven weeks at Bella Vita in Florida. I’m not wired for WiFi there but my smart phone provides a hot spot that allows me to use my laptop so I’ll be able to stay in touch and get my work done. My agreement with Sandy is that I’ll work from 6:00 to noon or 1:00 and then knock off for the day. I need more time than that but there’s a lot to be said for keeping one’s marriage.
Since I announced that I needed to back off from spending so much time on my blog for a while, I’ve been at work on several projects, one of which will require 100 new poems for a series of five books. As of yesterday, I’ve completed 58 so that’s good progress. I’m also back on a nonfiction manuscript that I started years ago. It’s far enough along that I hope to wrap it up in Florida.
Today I hope to return to my ETERNITY poem for this month. I keep pecking away at it so maybe today’s the day to make it happen. Mary Nida Smith has provided the word for February and I think you’ll like it. I’ll announce it on the first of the month.
My thanks to all for making my blog a friendly and useful place to visit. Keep coming and tell others.

Dear David, I wish you and Sandy MANY moments of of ‘dolce farniente’ at a very aptly named hotel, La BELLA VITA.
Congratulations on having completed 58/100 poems already. Good luck with your manuscript.
Buon viaggio, Davide! Ciao.
Cory
Dear Cory,
Thank you for your good wishes! This will be the first driving trip we’ve taken in a while and I’m looking forward to it. I hope my muse is in one of those boxes I just put into the trunk.

Hi David, may you both have a special time relaxing. Taking time out to enjoy life can spark new poems, ideas, and be blessed with love ones.
Take care,
Mary Nida
Dear Mary Nida,
Let’s see if my voice changes in Florida. Maybe my poems will have seaweed hanging on them.
