This morning I decided to clean some old stuff off of my phone. I started with my notes since these are usually notes that reminded me of something I needed to do or an idea on writing. I came across a note with five questions: What inspired you today? What […]
I was walking on a hill filled with wildflowers. They were beautiful. As far as my eyes could see there were flowers of every color. Pink, yellow, purple, it was a sea of colors. The fragrance flowed through the air. I could hear the whispering of the wind. I continued to walk breathing […]
It’s been three days! Three! Yet I don’t see any turkey and stuffing leftovers. Where are they? Oh, yes, that’s correct. Last year my son and I started a new tradition for Thanksgiving.
