Award-winning author Suzanne Burke has presented another photo prompt for this week. To learn more about her opportunities for you to share your responses to a photo go to https://sooozburkeauthor.wordpress.com/. Join the fun!
Here is my Tanka poem based on the photo prompt.
Cherishing each day is an important part of my life. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I made a conscious decision to live each moment with love as best as I could. There is a wonderful song by Jason Mraz titled “Living in the Moment,” which describes my philosophy so beautifully. Here it is for you to enjoy!
Thank you, Suzanne Burke for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this weeks Fiction in a Flash challenge.

Each day is truly a gift…as is each moment. If we lived our life in moments rather than “what if’s” how much richer and more meaningful our lives would be. Glad you stopped by, Denise.

Jan, I see life full of circles: the sun, rotation of planets, birth to death, parent to child to parent, the seasons, and so much more. I appreciate your comment.
