Reasons To Be Grateful Week 4 (Final Week)

A task set to capture the moment
when I felt grateful in any way
As I reflect on this week gone by
with a photo taken every day

An early evening walk
casting tall shadows down the lane
A late afternoon walk
during a brief break in the rain

The colour of rhododendron
to brighten the dullest day
A date booked in my diary
for a weekend getaway

Springwatch is on the TV
but my focus is drawn outside
I watch rabbits feed and play
their antics keep me occupied

A funny scene catches your eye
and you capture it in time
An image inspires a write
and you manage to make it rhyme

Some things can not be photographed
a memory that makes you smile
the time you hear from a friend
you haven't heard from in a while

When your husband agrees
that a cinema trip is due
even when the film showing
is Peter Rabbit Two

A task set over four weeks
to take a photo every day
to capture the moment
when I felt grateful in anyway

This challenge I found helpful
to find gratitude in many ways
I hope I will continue
to find gratitude in future days

Thank you Aviva and Stephen A for the likes.
Thank you Stephen A. Honestly think I would have ended up a bit crazier than I am already if I hadn’t spent this past year trying to write. Thank you for your kind words and continued support.

No easy task, Julie, and you've done it brilliantly! Some absolutely superb poems. You've developed so much since you started & are now a respected & established poet!
& I've enjoyed reading every one. ?
