hello sweet friend. I always smile when I hear from you, thanks so much for thinking of me. sadly its not a good year, lost my dog, and just lost my uncle. have to have oral surgery a week from tomorrow, bleck! but...still, I have so many blessings in my life, they help so much to drive the sadness and worry away. trying real hard to concentrate on all the positive things. after all, everyone goes through tough times, this is life. hope you and yours are well. I do adore you. hugs, me xo

Nikko, there are many people who choose to go through life wearing blinders to shut out the chaos in today's world. A very timely and well written senryu! Love, Carolyn

Nice senryu Nikko. The trouble is, I just have to peek, and then usually wish I hadn't, hehe ~ Hugs, Sharon ;) (this is me peeking with just one eye)
