Category: the year in haiku

Make others happy
Their happiness reflects back
We all feel the glow

Just bite the bullet
Control your situation
Don’t be overruled

Build resilience
The unexpected will come
Don’t let it throw you

Over in a flash
Remember what matters most
Make that your focus

Hidden in plain sight
Waiting to be discovered
Things you never knew

Content with the day
Sit in the cool evening breeze
And wait for the stars

Be true to your word
Commitments must be honoured
And promises kept

Seek inspiration
Even amongst the mundane
Surprises await

Keep the mind well fed
There’s plenty to discover
Keep on topping up

Take a well earned rest
A long day will take its toll
Relax and unwind

A fresh start each day
Long-held beliefs can be changed
When they hold you back

What is your purpose?
Time is too precious to waste
You can’t get it back

The simplest pleasures
Surrounded by those you love
Bring the greatest joy

Take time to recharge
Downtime is not wasted time
Don’t run on empty

Smooth out the wrinkles
Calm anxious thoughts in others
And be calm yourself
