It’s that time again. :) During August, I will not be posting to my blog at all, nor will I be reading the August posts of the blogs I follow. And I will take a break from social media. I’ve found this does so much for my mental health every year. What I will do is catch up on reading the books on my Kindle and finish any of the July posts from the blogs I follow.
I look forward to immersing myself in The Short of It Submissions. As I was last year, I’m very pleased with the response from both previous poets featured and new ones who have chosen to participate. It’s not even the end of July, and I’ve received close to fifty percent of what I’ll need to feature next year! WOW! I will be forever happy about starting The Short of It! You are all such a wonderful addition to my world! As was the case last year, I will likely have to close the submission cycle early again if the response has been this well-received already. Submit your work as soon as possible, before the deadline closes.
Additionally, this year, I will be turning off all commenting, even on older posts. When I return on September 1, I will turn them back on! Feel free to reach out via email (it’s on my contact page), if you need to get a hold of me.
See you after my much-needed rest! :)
Here is last week’s prompt. I hope you enjoy these wonderful contributions to SenHai Saturday as much as I did!

We all need a mental health break. I am looking forward to going on holiday to Devon next week. I am not intending to take my laptop for the same reason. Enjoy your relaxation time.
