After reading slices for more time than I’ll openly admit, I’m going to finally write using a form that several of you have used called “Hello There.” This form is courtesy of Aggie Kesler.
HELLO THERE!
I am a grandmother who loves piano, books, and needlework.
I keep buying more books and yarn than a human my age could ever read or knit.
I wish I could remember more details about my experiences and the books I read.
I love taking walks by the river especially when the bluebells are in bloom, but any time by any body of water is happy time for me.
I dance to Whitney Houston in the living room and kitchen mostly with my daughters.
I sing the hymns from memory now, so that I’ll be able to do it in another 20 years.
I think about the next phase of my life and how I’ll know when it’s time to step through that door.
I really wish I had more energy to accomplish all that I would like to accomplish.
I need new shoes, but I hate shopping.
I should eat more vegetables.
I can untie knots with a lot of patience.
I make really good cookies and used to bake bread that I can’t eat now due to a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance.
I always push snooze and wish I hadn’t.
I always say good-bye before I leave.
I always have a hug ready.

I love the format…neat poem to share yourself with others. I might try this one tomorrow. 🙂
Glad you tried it out! 🙂 I connect with many of your lines, but this one really hits home today.
“I really wish I had more energy to accomplish all that I would like to accomplish.”
As I sit here feeling deflated and low energy, I wish I could have a burst!
This is a great format. When I read these lines “I love taking walks by the river especially when the bluebells are in bloom, but any time by any body of water is happy time for me.” I started imagining summer by the lake… Beautiful times always when I am next to water as well.
I really love the format that fellow slicers share. Sometimes a format helps get the words out. I, too, always push the snooze when I wish I hadn’t!
I love this format, especially “I always….” Wondering if I could do a whole post of “I always…”
Fantastic format. I may have to use this! Don’t you love getting inspiration from others!
It sounds like I’m going to need one of your hugs!!
Anytime!
My favorite line is the one about being good at untying knots- hallmark of a teacher of young children (or a mom and grandma.).
And somehow the line “I always say goodbye before I leave” has me thinking…
