I'm excited to be "slicing" again, year fifteen,
To "meet" new slicers and reconnect with "friends,"
I'm ready for the reminder that we are all inspired
To write more with comments from our readers.
I'm anxious to exercise my writing muscle and become inspired
To work on unfinished, masterpieces littering cyberspace.I'm concerned about the state of our country and the world, holding on
To a belief that both our environment and the "good guys" will prevail.
I'm an avid consumer of paper, kindle, kid, books, news, dreams, I hope
To make this world a slightly better place for all those I meet.
I'm thankful for my busy agenda with students, meets, museums,
To be teach, share, catch Broadway shows.
I'm grateful to be living this chapter with lots of coffee, aquacise, music,
To have the honor of watching my grands grow, explore their world,
I'm living my best life with lots of bruises, some apprehension, gratified
To have faith, hope, and people I love.
