Do you have a regular schedule for getting a new toothbrush? Or like me, do you wait until you notice that it’s seriously frayed to start thinking about replacing it? Last year I went to my dentistContinue reading “Daily Brushing”
In The Dark
Written in response to the story starter from https://fivedotoh.com/2022/12/13/fandangos-story-starter-76/ It was early in the morning, just after the crack of dawn, when I heard the insistent knocking at my door and I immediately knew it was Richard.

When I was little, I used to love my big feet, making footprints in the snow toContinue reading “Love Yourself”
