There really isn't much to tell that hasn't been covered in my poetry. Love this site, love the new friends I've made. I am a single woman, work full time, family grown and on their own. When I was in highschool all I wanted to do was write. Life got in the way. Now I have all the time I need to indulge my passion.

attitude of gratitude

Big , enormous, gigantic thank yous to whoever bought my lifetime membership for me , I am a single woman supporting myself and struggle each year to come up with the membership money , you have no idea what your generosity means to me, I am so grateful , Sooooooooo, I am about to post a new contest , first one I have done in a very long time now, It will be called attitude of gratitude and like with all my contests there will be rules , lots of them and no matter what masterpiece you write, if it doesn't follow the rules it will not place . So look for the contest I will post later tonight and think of what you are grateful for right now  ( in these covid times that may not be easy to do ) Good luck in the contest and again to the anonymous benefactor who paid for my membership, Thank You !!!

Francine, I am a big believer in gratitude as a way of life, and really appreciate your highlighting it in your newest contest. I was also gifted with a membership (though not anonymously) and am profoundly grateful that someone would give the "gift that keeps on giving"! Looking forward to reading the entries to your contest ~ John

Francine, my life time membership was also gifted to me so I know the gratitude you are feeling. I love the theme of your comeback contest and hope I can write you a poem worthy, it is a great theme considering what people are going through all over the world _Constance
