This week for my Tanka Tuesday Poetry Challenge, I used synonyms “stretch” for the word give, and “grasp” for receive.
Stretch your wings and fly—
snatch what seems outside your grasp,
success will find you.

I almost remembered something that would fit here, but then it left me again. When I find it again I”ll send you a copy. I love your mental images, my friend. And if it’s cool there, I would love being in your area, because the heat index is over 105 here today!

We hit 90 degrees today. There’s a bad fire down near Pueblo and all the smoke has blown into Colorado Springs. It’s pretty yucky right now but I’m not sweating to death! LOL! You say in the cool. Don’t go out in this heat. ❤

No problem about me leaving the apartment until things cool off outside. My trips out occur immediately after sunrise and don’t last longer than an hour. What part of the Springs is affected by the fire? I have a brother and 2 sisters living there, but haven’t heard anything from them lately. One sis lives in Monument, close to the AF Academy and surrounded by trees!

The fires are all south by Pueblo. We got smoke last night but a storm blew through and it’s gone now. Yea!

Wish I could send you some rain or some of the water we have still standing in places around here. More rain forecast for tonight and I would happily send it your way if it was possible.

Thanks, Diana. It’s another version of “Onward and Upward…” I’ve got that stuck in my head as of late. ❤

I’m definitely one who believes that we can manifest our dreams by putting the energy out there. 🙂 So we have to be careful what we wish for!
