Poetry Friday: Sharing My One Little Word (OLW) & A Poem About It
This year, my one little word found me, instead of me finding it. I’ve not always participated in the choosing of one word to guide our year, but I found that I didn’t have a choice this year. My word is ENOUGH. If you look up that word in the dictionary, you’ll find it has…
