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
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.

Love all the emotions to start March, and how you weave together the emotions of writing with the emotions of life right now!
You've captured a lot in the emotion list, Anita! I'm looking especially forward to the month with a greater sense of some people, including you!
What a super look st your life, Anita. All the joys of writing and living a writerlt life. Write on!
Blogspot issue every time!
All the words, yes! I'm raising a toast to you for capturing these feelings about the month of March. I was eager as well, and I love all the writing and reading of this group for a solid month. I get so much out of the ideas, the encouragement, and the ways of breathing the fresh air of a writing community. There's simply nothing like it anywhere else.
Anita, I'm so excited to be on this journey with you! Your post (just like our zoom meet last week) has inspired me -- I love the format of your slice and will likely use it as a mentor text for one of my slices in the days to come! Thank you!
A great way to write a short biography. March is filled with emotions as we navigate life and the SOLSC. Looking forward to your posts. arjeha
Oh, wow, so lovely, Anita. It was great to see you this morning! So much truth in your words today. This was my favorite section:
"I'm living my best life with lots of bruises, some apprehension, gratified
To have faith, hope, and people I love."
I like the "I'm...to... structure of this poemy slice! There are so many good things that this writing process brings out. Here's to 31 days!
Hi Anita! Glad we are all starting off March writing, thinking, reflecting, and most of all - celebrating! Thank you!
I also really like the structure of this piece and find that it captures so much about you and how you're approaching this month of writing. I wasn't sure I was going to participate this year, but honestly, the challenge makes me feel so much hope.
