Lifting lagging spirits high
Winging heavenwards…

Merriam Webster - Word of the day: Tranche refers to a division or portion of a whole. World Contact Day is commemorated every year on March 15. It is a unique observance held globally to focus on communicating with extraterrestrial life and exploring the possibility that intelligent beings may exist beyond Earth. World Contact Day inspires people to invoke their curiosity and spend time thinking about the universe and the mysteries surrounding it. What is the “Ides of March”? According to the Roman calendar, the Ides are a monthly occurrence. In March and other months with 31 days, the Ides always falls on the 15th; it falls on the 13th in months with 30 days. The Ides traditionally marked the arrival of the new Moon and was cause for celebration. The word “Ides” is derived from Latin, meaning “to divide.” Mothering Sunday in 2026 falls on Sunday, March 15. Mothering Sunday, celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is exactly three weeks before Easter. Unlike the fixed-date Mother's Day in countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia, Mothering Sunday’s date changes each year according to the Christian liturgical calendar. On March 15, 2026, several notable observances and events are celebrated: Dumbstruck Day: A day to express frustration. Everything You Think is Wrong Day: A day to challenge and celebrate wrong beliefs. International Day Against Police Brutality: A day to raise awareness and advocate against police violence.

Kites are such a vibe—soaring high, lifting spirits, and making you feel free! Even with the struggle, it’s all worth it when they catch that perfect breeze and glide. Loved it! Dear🤗✨
Beautiful Haiku. Well Done!
I love the phrase 'Winging heavenwards'
Great challenge entry!!😊💕💗
Beautifully done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I’m so sorry to hear about your struggle with OCD, Spinstress. It’s such a misstereoyped and misunderstood disorder. I have a very closed loved one battling it right now. A medication switch, an OCD specialist, and a Biblical counselor have all been helpful but it’s still a daily struggle that’s exhausting and overwhelming.
I kinf of want to comment with "weeeeeeee"
I enjoyed this. The last line of your note reminded me of my husband accidentally taking a kid out on the beach. We've never flown a kite since 😂
Oh, this is so wonderful and inspirational! Love "winging heavenwards" :)
I LOVE a kite! I'm always drawn to them when I see them being flown. We used to fly them as kids on our farm. Bloody irritating when they came down but awesome when up in the air! Loved this!
My impatience could never deal with flying a kite, lol. Loved your Haiku!
I loved flying kites when I was a kid. Your Haiku brings back pleasant memories of the sensation of the string tugging on my fingers as the kite rocketed up into the sky. Great and original challenge entry, Angie!
