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”
Unlikely
Written in response https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/rdp-thursday-unlikely/ An unlikely day; dark clouds threatening to unleash an anger she wasn’t quite ready for. Most days were like that, but used to the bombardment of bullets, her bullying was normalised. Something changed that morning – it wasn’t just the test she was dreading, but the reaction of her peers whenContinue reading “Unlikely”
Turning the Pages
This week’s question from https://fivedotoh.com/2023/07/05/fandangos-provocative-question-221/ Do I read audio books?

However, I do use the audio, when listening to my ownContinue reading “Turning the Pages”

Written in response to https://fivedotoh.com/2023/07/04/fandangos-story-starter-104/ The mysterious figure emerged from the shadows of the dimly lit alley and started walking toward her, sending chills up and down her spine. She remembered her uncle’s words, and held the keys in her right hand. Nobody was going to hurt her, not with his valued advice. As heContinue reading “Protection”
Remembering
Written for I wander along the beach, remembering a day when I could see the waves bob and weave towards the sand. We held hands, you gave me a little shell. It was half of a whole, like I was half of a whole for such a long time. My marriage today? It isn’t becauseContinue reading “Remembering”

Mum
Written today for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ It was the day to make the right decision. Her map, a ruse to stop herself from getting on the train. On another day, she couldn’t even leave the house. Was she afraid of meeting her birth mother? She wasn’t sure, not even now. Adoption, and she always understood her parentsContinue reading “Mum”
Unique
Written for https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/07/03/share-your-world-3rd-july/ I am unique, in a way I am grateful for because it is better than being boring. There is autism in our family, and when doing some training for work, I realised I had more traits than I thought I did, especially with my social interactions. That doesn’t matter; we are allContinue reading “Unique”
