For the last three years, I've intentionally spent time writing and sharing a Haiku-A-Day for the month of December. The first two years I exchanged a daily Haiku privately with willing friends, mostly through text and email. Last year I wrote and shared each Haiku on my blog. Throughout this process, I've discovered that the practice of noticing and reflecting through writing a Haiku grounds me, provides with with a certain kind of peace, assists me with better practicing gratitude, and helps me better navigate this "hurry up" world. This year my goal is the same as last year: to pen and publish a daily Haiku on my blog throughout December.
Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #26:
Evening Walk
Evening Walk
Lately I've been feeling pretty anxious about a lot. Relationships changing. Parenting. New changes. Finances. My identity. Sometimes I get myself worked up and my mind spins.
Tonight I took a walk and it helped me feel a lot better.

Step by step forward.
I understand the anxiety you’re experiencing, but in time you’ll be able to reflect clearly and have fewer of those mind-spinning moments “step by step.” Things really do get better. Time really does heal.
