A Dim Sum Haiku

Flavors of China
Dancing upon my palette
I can eat outdoors

Tonight’s haiku is about dim sum.

The leaves above me: a #haiku

As I look upwards
These leaves’ beautiful pattern
A sign of illness

A rainy Seattle #haiku

Rain falls gracefully
Flowers forgot the sunlight
This moment passes

Facing Westwards: Tonight’s #Haiku

I’m facing westwards
And mountains cover the sun
A sweet summer night

This one was fun to make. It makes me quite happy.

Awoke by sirens: an early morning #haiku 

Awoke by sirens

Deep in the pre-dawn darkness 

I say a prayer 

Sunset in #Edmonds: a #Haiku

As the sunlight falls
Red and orange to the west
This summer night starts

It was s lovely evening in Edmonds, along the shore just north of Seattle. What did you do with your weekend?

A Sunny Saturday

Honey bees feasting
Sunlight flowing from the sky
Such summer delights

My life: currently in transition. The current job comes to end in five weeks. So I actively seek my next opportunity. It’s there. I feel it. I’m excited about what the future holds. Yet, I don’t know where it is. Uncertainty presents challenges, certainly. I write more about that here. 

Braeden Update: June 23, 2019

Well, this week was pretty quiet. No doctor or other appointments, so no news on that front. He joined us for taekwondo testing on Friday and Saturday, though as support. He’s not in a place to judge the testing at this point.
 
Next week will bring some more, new information. We meet with neurologists on Thursday following an MRI. The results will be discussed pretty much immediately after the scan. Braeden is less than excited about the MRI, but we’ll have some pharmaceutical help to get through it.
 
He’s looking forward to summer starting (last day of school is Wednesday). It’ll be nice to have friends available to hang out and minimize the boredom that comes with healing from a TBI.
 
Thanks for your continued support and prayers. It means the world to us.
