Year end
Occasional Paper 2 - Auspicious New Year
This new year 2011 starts auspiciously good for me. I started a project many years ago when my grandchildren were still young, but failed to implement it at that time. Now that my grandkids are grown and growing fast (two grand-daughters, for instance, are getting married this year), I decided to resurrect it.
It is an alphabetical listing of what I call the ABC to Enlightenment, gems of thoughts I gathered along the way and generally guidelines on how to be successful in life. It is alphabetical from A to Z and I have already emailed the first two, A for Action and B for Beauty.
With the help of my daughter-in-law, we send them one at a time weekly on pdf form so everybody can download them in their computer if they want. Concurrently, I send my children a monthly email of what I call Internet Harvest, things that I think will be helpful to them in their busy lives. My first email sent last month was about New Year's Resolution.
Literary Output - My five haiku were published in the January 2011 issue of World Haiku Review. One got Haiku of Merit, one Honorable Mention, one Third Place, and two First Places! I am deeply honored and humbled that for the first time, one of my first placers garnered the highly elusive but coveted honor of being selected The Editor’s Choice!
Here’s the winning piece.

New Year resolutions
new year's wishes
tossed in the wind
old calendar leaves
2010, a good year
I was blessed last year when several of my poems were published in World Haiku Review, The Hornet's Nest, Notes from the Gean, Sketchbook, and Mainichi Daily News in Japan. The highlights of the year were the publication of my haiku in the 2nd Annual Basho Haiku Challenge Chapbook, one of 56 from nearly 500 world-wide submissions and the inclusion of my works in a multicultural book anthology from Romania! My goal this year is the publication of my second book of poems.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May we all share love, peace and good-will with everybody, in and out of our family. May the coming year give us more love and less hate, a smile instead of a frown, and kindness without expecting anything in return. Good health and happiness to all!
