New Year 2018
December 31, 2017
The end of the year
The close of a time gone by
Twenty seventeen
It started off well
Hope seemed plentiful; doors were
Cracked open a bit
Opportunities
Loomed over the horizon
Just out of reach
Tai chi brought new life
Then volunteering gave me
New outlet- love cats
Online teaching job
Provided income, purpos
Not enough to keep
My spirit going
I fell down the rabbit hole
Ended up back at
ERC to find
Renewed strength and energy
Start over again
Left early- interview
Landed a dream position
A real school- great chance
To prove myself
An admirable teacher
Succeed in career
Despite dire warnings
Naysayers, doomsday voices
I stepped up to play
Maybe I was not
At my best; and I proved that
I am capable
Not only did I
Teach like a star; tai chi and
Volunteering with
The cats continued
To be important in life
I fought my demons
Did not miss a day
All term- I stayed determined
Knew I needed help
Back to ERC
For the holidays- jumpstart
New life for new year
The close of a time gone by
