With just under a week to the start of the project, a little Haiku in readiness for #MyTime #TaleinTen
One spark. One trigger.
Urgent potential renewed
Heralding the start

#MyTime
Yes, it’s time for a new project #MyTime
It’ll begin next weekend and it’s a 40 week countdown. As one of the ’50s generation females, still angry that the retirement point has been pushed out (twice) and that I’ll need to work for 50 years before I can access my state pension, I really don’t want to be a resentful worker in my 60s. I had plans for what I wanted to do in my retirement from paid employment, and I’m just not prepared to put them all “on hold”. So, I’m spending the 9 months leading up to my emotional retirement to explore some of the things I hope to pick up when I get the time – #MyTime.
This is a personal blog for my own reference and something I can refer to when I want to remind myself of my intent and the exciting ideas and opportunities that I discover.
Now, I’m off to tell the bees …

A little #Haiku #TaleinTen
There have been a few #TaleinTenpopup entries on Twitter since I completed my #365 #TaleinTen marathon and I’m sure they won’t be the last. It was the joy of hearing our bees buzzing today, in a dying Winter’s afternoon sunshine, that has turned my face to Spring. This time, the bees had something to say to me!
So, here’s a little Haiku to express my delight.
Buzzing awakes me
my long-sleeping Winter self
(such gentle humming)
[I did have a little video clip against this post but since the closure of Vine, it is no longer available – note to self to make sure I capture and future videos locally!]

Today’s Tale in ten words and it’s the last one
So that’s a full year’s worth of #TaleInTen stories. If you’ve been reading them, then I hope you’ve enjoyed them. If you’ve re-tweeted me then I thank you for sharing them. If you have a response then I’d love to hear from you.
Not sure what’s next so … watch this space.
#365 #TaleIn10 drawing to a close
Today’s tale will be the last in a year-long series of stories penned (and tweeted) daily in just ten words. It’s been an interesting process and has been my way of “keeping the writing door open” whilst I simply cannot make the time to do more right now.
Some the tales might be good starters or at least primers for future story-crafting so they may re-surface buffed-up and polished.
Right now I cannot say if I shall be silent for a while after my last #365 #TaleIn10 or whether it’ll spark a new project. But I am content – for now at least – to wait, and see …

Today’s Tale in ten words
Well, I’m sure today’s story goes deeper than even I know. Pleased to be part of a musical arrangement at choir this evening inspired by the words of a poet and shared with a companion of voices.

Seeking their past, not knowing it’d yield a new future.
