I get Rosemerry’s poem each day. She is the one who inspired me to write a poem each day, a practice I began a number of years ago. I don’t do it every day but many day. Let me know if you do meet her. What a neat person to meet in person!!

I’ve found a new poet just this weekend that I loving – Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. She’s going to be at a conference we’re going to in January, so I looked her up. And am surprising myself at how much I’m enjoying her poetry!

I have to admit we still use kerfuffle and bumfuzzle around here. 🙂

Joy is a sign of the presence of God so what a delight too. Praying you are surrounding by joy this Christmas and into the new year, Nancy!

Thanks for bringing them to our attention and for the bit of etymology for each one! P.S. I purchased Journey with a Giant and think my guide will be Elizabeth Elliot. I have two other quiet-time pursuits in the works, and come mid-January the Bible study (with homework) will begin at church, so time will tell how much progress I make in 2026. ‘May have to extend my adventure into 2027, Lord willing!
