Journal entry:
The Thirty by Thirty Challenge prompt from Our Lost Jungle for today helped inspire my poem…
Cordial
I am not bitter,
For I have seen things you meant
To bring me great harm
Turn into blessings beyond
Measure of expectation.
I loved you without
Reservation giving my
Whole heart into your
Hands, but you did not respect
My trustworthy devotion.
They are bittersweet,
These years I spend without you,
But I know there is
A good reason we have gone
Our very separate ways.
I have found the strength
To stop my needless crying,
Moving on with life,
Finding happiness in things
And people besides yourself.
I am not bitter,
For I pursue great reward
In honest living,
Giving of myself to those
Who appreciate my love.

I am grateful:
1. I got up earlier than I intended to, and so had more day to enjoy.
2. I finished the book I was reading.
3. I played Tetris on my tablet.
4. My shower was refreshing.
5. I went outside, took some photographs, and later sat on the trampoline reading on my tablet.
This Thursday was an enjoyable day. I hope you also found pleasure in it. Now, I encourage you to make an effort and create something wonderful to share with others. You have a unique vision that the world will welcome. Each of us is endowed with imagination, which can make a grand impression on people. Do not hide your creativity, but let it shine forth.
