Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey | Jane Goodall, Phillip Berman

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by one of my sheroes, Dame Jane Goodall who passed away yesterday at the age of 91. What a woman & champion of the world, animals, food sustainability & conservation. My heart is sad. 😢

Champion for earth,
A voice for all living things
Rest in peace, dear Jane

After having my worst reading slump this past month, I realized that I am quite stressed out by all of the Litsy book clubs I have joined because I just can't keep up. I'm going to have to let go of a few so that I can relax more and enjoy reading again--plus I want to concentrate on getting some books off the shelves. Such a lucky problem to have.

Fear of missing out
led me to join too many groups.
I need to regroup.

JenlovesJT47 Same here! I overcommitted myself this year and have gotten so far behind because I‘m stressing myself out 😵‍💫♥️ 4h

kspenmoll Sometimes I join but then drop out a certain month cause I can‘t keep up. Plus you are still healing, need to focus on that, & when you read, enjoy it, not feel stressed! Please take care of you. The books are always there.🩷 4h

Seabreeze_Reader It's okay to make a change of plans, especially with 2026 around the corner. Plus, I think quite a few readers here can relate, myself included. 🧡 📚🤗 3h

Read4life I know the feeling. I‘m doing the same and have decided it‘s ok to take a month off from a group if the book or the schedule doesn‘t work for me. I think most of us understand. 💙💙💙 3h

Susanita I can relate! 2h

AnnCrystal Good choice. With such a chaotic world, we can't make reading feel like a chore. We need books to remain in our toolbag of zen...👏🏼🐝👌🏼😘🐝💝. 2h

rubyslippersreads I do the same thing. All the books and groups are so tempting! 1h

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Well, let's give ourselves permission to bow out of a few of them. The only pressure that's there is what we're placing on us. I'll probably still want to be tagged, but I'm not stressing about it anymore. Join me? 🧡💜💛

dabbe @kspenmoll I needed that, my friend. Thank you. 🧡💜💛

JenlovesJT47 I‘m in! Keeping it to 3 groups this month. 💜💜💜 1h

dabbe @Susanita And like I said, with all the shit going on in the world this ain't a big problem to have! 🧡💜💛 1h

dabbe @AnnCrystal TY, m'dear. 🧡💜💛 1h

dabbe @rubyslippersreads IKR? I want ALL the books! 🧡💜💛 1h

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 FABUL💜US! I'll do the same! 💜💜💜 We can check back at the end of the month and see how we feel. 1h

JenlovesJT47 Yay! I‘m doing the SK #losersclub this month since it‘s one I haven‘t read yet and I sat down and read 20% of it today. Baby steps! Never thought I‘d be in a slump like this but phones are so distracting and it‘s hard to concentrate. 59m

I Love the Rain | Margaret Park Bridges

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

I wasn‘t familiar with the term Pluviophile when I ran across it on TikTok, but I am one. I love a good rainy day & find peace & joy in them. While it was just a couple of small showers this morning, it inspired today‘s haiku. It also works for #WeirdWordWednesday

Morning drizzle falls
Not enough rain to fill my
Pluviophile soul

mcctrish We have the same weather as Port Huron basically - we finally had some rain last weekend - our front maple tree some dropped leaves but I think more due to stress- every other tree is still green 12h

dabbe @mcctrish W😮W. I'm just amazed by the warm temperature in the north and east. You expect it down here, but not there! Hope your maple tree is okay. 🧡💜💛 7h
