Carpet shampooing
brings change of venue
Moving furniture
to shampoo carpets
Spring cleaning in winter
to welcome VIP visitors
Son and daughter in law
coming from Kenya
Sitting in the kitchen
with my computer
Different outlook
than at my desk
Sometimes I ride the bus
to the Canberra CBD*
or the Kingston public library**
to write
Not for inspiration
but for change
of venue
of thought
If I set out to write
some place other
than at home
I am a writer
What has brought
the most change is
support from two women
in our writers’ group
AND writing the blog
Life Expectancy:
searching for reconciliation***
Reliving the time and travel
to research about my father’s life
Writing the blog
makes the story
the book
I am writing
Life Expectancy
come alive
I recognize
my own commitment
appreciate it
accept it
and will continue

***Life Expectancy is the title of the fictional book I am writing, based on some events in my father’s life
