Written in response to https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/07/13/reenas-xploration-challenge-288/ ‘What is your greatest accomplishment?’ Mike asked. I wasn’t sure what to say, only that the last few months have been strange. Since getting my guide dog, Merlin, my sense of self has changed. He has given me my life back, even though I can’t see his golden eyes. IContinue reading “Be Yourself”

Thread?
Fandango’s https://fivedotoh.com/2023/07/12/fandangos-provocative-question-222/ Are you currently on Twitter? Have you heard of Threads and are you likely to open up a Threads account? If so, will you maintain your Twitter account or will you move exclusively to Threads? I am nearly sixty, so I have never heard of Threads. I probably won’t open an account. IContinue reading “Thread?”
Good Luck
Written in response to https://christinebialczak.com/2023/07/11/simply-6-minutes-welcome-to-the-challenge-07-11-2023/ Good luck, only five miles away. I don’t mind going a steady forty-five miles per hour to get there. My old banger of a car needs a bit of that. The road travelled, and Bad Luck was behind me now. I needed to have something go right; just for once.Continue reading “Good Luck”
Proud
I am a writer, proud to write free. A chubby unicorn; that’s me. I can write words, upon a page, they come to life, takes me an age to make miracles. A character forms in my mind, I have only my words to find. How they can shine upon my page. I am a writier,Continue reading “Proud”
Do You Like?
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/07/10/share-your-world-10th-july/ 1. How do you like your coffee/tea? I like my coffee without sugar, and hot. I do not let any of my hot drinks go cold because they don’t taste right. I always have one spoon of coffee, and a fairly weak tea. 2. Are you a dunker (of biscuits/cookies)? Depends onContinue reading “Do You Like?”
Happiness?
Written for https://fromcavewalls.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/happiness-tranquil-thursday-16/ My gratitude – I have somewhere to sleep, enough food to eat and the love of my family. My pets make me happy too, especially Titan, who never fails to greet me, with a wag of his tail, and a big kiss. I am lucky, and I will never forget a sayingContinue reading “Happiness?”
What Could She Do
Written for https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2023/07/02/sundays-six-sentence-story-word-prompt-269/ A melancholy sort of day, spent relaxing on the sofa, perhaps an afternoon nap would do, she thought, as she typed up the last of her list of not to do’s today. What could she do? On such a balmy day as this, the only thing she could even think of wouldContinue reading “What Could She Do”
Imperial
Written for https://wordofthedaychallenge.wordpress.com/tag/word-of-the-day/ I’ve never known any other money that imperial. My parents used to talk about shillings, even when the new money was introduced. I’m old enough to remember the half pence. There was also the thrupenny, which was worth two and half pence. We were taught how to handle money from a veryContinue reading “Imperial”
Party Time
Today is going to be a quiet day for blogging. We are too busy being secret squirrels and getting ready for someone’s special birthday. Turning sixty isn’t something you do every day, so we are going to celebrate in style. I’m not great at keeping secrets, if I remember rightly, it was a ten yearContinue reading “Party Time”
Strength
Inspiration from https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/reenas-xploration-challenge-287/ A woman, who is okay about being alone, is a powerful woman. She didn’t need anyone in her life right now, that was for sure. Her divorce; messy was putting it lightly. It wasn’t all Tom’s fault, but then it wasn’t hers either. Something had happened between her having Theresa, and growingContinue reading “Strength”
