A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Thanks for this beauty. I am much in need of good thoughts and images after the last several nights in our nation.

I so miss deserted beaches. So long since I wandered one. Your words sound like a summer beach — memories of wearing crinolines I guess.

Me too…every year I say I will go on a “nowhere” trip to Maine and enjoy a deserted beach. I may try that in August when there are less tourists.

September, October, even November are great months as the tourists are even less — but I realize you need to be around those months.
Some of my nicest empty beach walks have had a skiff of snow with the sea foam.

That must be lovely! I am only a 6 hr drive so there is no reason I can’t pop over a few long weekends

“Costs should be down too. Maine had a great website, and retirees staffed the info booths along the main highway,” “Well, at least a few years ago it was still that way,” she added.

My long lost dream as a young adult was to own a cottage by the ocean in Maine and write.

What a wonderful dream. I wish it comes true. Pixie dust, finding lost dreams and lost loves and miracles do exist.

“This is a very conscious effort on my part to visit other blogs I like or who have stopped by mine.
For several months, I had to so little energy, it was write or read, and I chose write. Now I’m trying a bit of both,” she confided.

I used to read for hours and write hours as well…this past year, I have much less energy. I used to write a lot at work during my breaks and that too has diminished. I’ve started reading novels again as well which takes time. You have a lovely style of writing.

“PS: thought you were traces, too, but I don’t like to say ‘hey,’ you’re so and so too as people have separate blogs for various reasons.” She confessed, “Not all my other ‘mes’ have survived as blogs, and the separation of the personae left is like shape shifting.”
