Haiku-A-Day December Challenge #19: Peanut Butter Balls

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 #19: 
Peanut Butter Balls 

I'm not sure what I was thinking, especially after my reflection writing this post. It was another long day at school. After I finished dinner, I decided to make homemade Peanut Butter Balls, I treat I love to eat but have never made before. 

Readers, it was messy. 

It was putzy. 

The Peanut Butter Balls I imagined were not anything close to what I actually made. Every recipe I found online boasted how easy these were to make. Not quite.
