Today’s “Word of the Day,” as exemplified by my cat—and necessary for my #writing)—is FOCUS. #amwriting #writingcommunity #WritingLife #cats #writerswithcats

While I’m no lover of graffiti, here’s some temporary side walk graffiti that I’m a big fan of! An arrow to a library! ⬅️ 📚 #walking #library

Post-morning walk, I often go to #NorthBend Washington and I get my Dad one huge German pretzel 🥨 and myself one yummy donut !

I’m taking my cue from the cows, and sitting down from@my walk for a nice break! #walking #ThinkWalking

After my walk today I find myself sitting outside in #Medina #Washington, drinking my coffee out of my Superman mug to journal. As magical 🔮 triads go, it’s tough to beat #walking, #coffee, and #writing!

Some morning walks are better than others. 🙏🏻 #walking #ThinkWalking

Opening the perfectly packaged The Paris Review The Paris Review is like opening up a Christmas 🎄 present 🎁. It’s certainly the best designed (and the best?) literary magazine in the world. 🌍 It’s my “osmotic” writing craft tool 🔨! 😉 #reading #poetry #writing

I don’t want to let “the cat 🐈‍⬛ out of the bag 💼” but Wendy is also a fabulous #writing instructor at Hugo House currently teaching authors about creating a novel series. 😉 #writingcommunity #amwriting #Seattle

Today's a good day to reflect. Aren't they all? (Photo taken by me during a walk just east of City of Issaquah #Washington in Tiger Mountain State Forest). #Walking #ThinkWalking

Ms. Desh is accomplished, but 😔 her website suggests she wants to turn #Bellevue into #Seattle. I ❤️ Seattle BUT I don't want to live there. 🙏The Seattle Times for endorsing Jared Nieuwenhuis ! Keep Bellevue Bellevue. Vote for Jared Nieuwenhuis electdesh.com

My favorite trip to the dentist 🦷 is being the driver for someone else’s appointment! 😉

A nice early morning walk in #Seattle, from Upper Queen Anne to Pike Place Market. Early morning city walks—especially on weekends—have their own special appeal. #walking #ThinkWalking
