My Choice for the 37 Day Challenge

I am traipsing very slowly through Life is a Verb.  The challenge on the page I last visited invited me to practice doing something for 37 days.  The idea being that "practice makes perfect."  At least, that's the way I interpreted it.  Positing for a while, I opted to write a Haiku a day till I reach the 37 day mark. Knowing that I would not want to face a post with 37 Haikus, to digest at one sitting.  So I'm choosing  three from my first ten days' writing.  Then, if I feel that my writing shows improvement by day 37, I'll post two or three  from the latter ones.  

Haiku: Day 5

Positive Attitude?

No car, no travels

Grey skies, no motivation

Buck up; be the sun!

Haiku: Day 6

Camera 

Novel way to shoot 

With macro lens and tripod,

Ecstatic new world!

People Who Deserve Awards

Patti Digh, in her Life is a Verb, has writing challenges for the reader.  The one I met on the page today was inspiring to me.  I, the reader, (with a time limit of three minutes) was to make a list of people in my life who deserved an award and why each did.  The next step was to design the award.  I'm not able to visualize well, as far as drawing, but I did that step also.  Lastly, I was to think of times I deserved an award.
