I have chosen to do a simple Haiku. One about exercise, which during these lockdown days we need more than ever.
Simple Release.
Endorphins release
Simple pleasures to our brains
Exercise brings life.
Part of Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light. My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits. View all posts by willowdot21
I love this and I love you photograph. I’m just about to get wrapped up and take my two chocolate labs out to the muddy field by the river.
And they will love it. Ruby is a golden, and a retired Guide dog. She sends love to your two 💜💜
This is just simply lovely, Sis 🥰
Thank you Sister 💜
They do 🙂 nice photo.
Thank you 💜
Lovely photo and yes, exercise makes such a positive difference.
Yes indeed it’s very important 😊
What a beautiful picture. A walk in such a beautiful setting with your pet is indeed simple, yet releases all the stress from the system.
Loved your Senryu. 🙂
Thank you 💜
Thank you 💜💜
True, I always feel better afterwards but often need to make myself do this. That is the harder part than the activity itself!
Yes it does help keep mind and soul together 💜💜
Yep … liked this one … big time
Thank you 💜
