Do you ever find yourself day dreaming about that first holiday after the lockdowns and Covid restrictions? Do you ever think about how profound it will feel? I wrote a poem about it to escape these long, dark days.
Warm skin,
Frizzy hair.
Soul alight,
Without a care.
Tanned legs,
After sun.
Mind is calm,
Just having fun.
A day of new experience,
Has just taken place.
You embrace the unfamiliar,
And every new and friendly face.
The sun begins to set,
And tomorrow is unplanned.
You sip on something cold,
Toes buried in the sand.
Midas touch is on the horizon,
Peace is in your heart.
Surrounded by those you love,
This moment is a work of art.
Something feels different,
You’ve seen sunsets before.
But all your sense are heightened,
You feel it at your core.
Over a year of loss and struggle,
The entire world is healing.
Simple, little, wild things,
Now have so much meaning.
As the sun sets,
You realise the magnitude.
All you’re feeling in this moment,
Is a new found sense of gratitude.

I will quite happily jump on a plane to anywhere! For a short flight Greece and long haul the Caribbean x
Completely agree! Both destinations are perfect for winter sun. x
Think I’d like to go to Vancouver, B.C to see friends. Haven’t been there since 1995. Eat at my favorite restaurants and discover some others.
Go to my friend’s house in Arizona next March. Was to go there this year for my 65th birthday but it was a no go!
That sounds wonderful Karen!
