The Bag Lady

MLMM Wordle #158 – Misconception

In the corridor’s background the parallel moving walkways spill out their passengers at an even pace.  Having the obvious tendency of never stopping, the even flow insights a desire to step on, as I have, so many times in my life.  A constant smooth ride with no help except the never ending conveyor belt underneath my feet–no effort is made on my part, I just watch from here as the nerve of the world hurries by.  They must have goal oriented destinations in mind.  

They may be living a Mar de coucou life, never revealing themselves completely to anyone, not divulging their inner wishes or strong feelings about even the most remote subject.  Please don’t be surprised by their outwardly mundane appearances.  If they spoke Golem’s Truth and you believed them, you might even be disappointed.

You may live life as I do, in the constant concept of ordinariness, never being seen as extreme, or with extraordinary feelings of a vibrant life.  You may even be awestruck by the seemingly simple, uneventful life I lead.  How is it possible to lead this “grey” life?  In the end, it is all smoke and mirrors.

Fandango’s Flashback Friday — May 29th

Margie blew as hard as she could. The bubbles floated across the pavement and the activity was to keep her entertained while her big sisters and mommy shopped. Shopping trips were long and boring for a four year old and Margie’s nanny always had something planned to keep her busy. The limousine driver Mark, also helped, but Margie and her nanny sat on a park bench for blowing bubbles. After the magic of watching beautiful bubbles was over, Margie, Miss Sue, and Mark sat back in the car for ice cream cones. Margie had a perfect day of “shopping”.

Haiku Fridays with J-Dub #5

Well finally I have had an eye appointment and receive new glasses on Tuesday! So happy, and just in time to impress my great grandson who turns one year old on June 6th! As for the rest of my family, they will probably be impressed I am still wheeling around, even though I’m now attached to an oxygen line. This last hospital visit was a bad one and once again I am reminded of how much my family means to me. Take care, stay hydrated and keep moving…😀

One-Liner Wednesday – Jiminy Cricket

The cabbie generously opened the door with a big swish. I almost dropped the memorial candle as his gesture was unexpected. As I settled into the taxi’s back seat he added a bit of what I hoped was candor…”you look lovely this evening, Miss Jones!”
