Crimson’s Creative Challenge
Author: rugby843
I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl
Sijo Wednesday – Pace
The pace of life once speeding on, now trickles by in boredom
Daily important tasks so frequent, become unnecessary
As life slows down when we age, so do goals we once achieved

dVerse Poets Poetics
Greetings! Ingrid of Experiments in Fiction here, with a prompt I hope will inspire you. I would like you to write a poem about a special gift you have received at some time in your life.
When romance dwindled and life became routine
A gift from my husband fulfilled a dream
Unexpected from the usual new appliance sheen
A beauty pair of earrings with colorful gemstones seen.

**the look of surprise on my son in law’s face mirrored mine—I get a chuckle out of that now☺️

Word of the Day+
Take a snickersnee to ordinary words, embrace the strange. Walk around that bend, throw yourself a curve ball, keep the homey familiar, but don’t confine yourself to that reasonable circle. Step into the bizarre, and see where it takes you.
**Cyranny, thought I’d better put my typing where my mouth is😂😂

Simply Six Minutes
Ever think your world’s a bit wonky?
When you get out of bed, think it will be on-key?
Well let me say I think I must be maladjusted
Listening to news, think the video must be busted
Earthquakes, shootings, and then weird weathers
Skewjawed officials mouth off with unjust tethers
Is it me or is our world out of control
Me, the ostrich, am going back to my bedroll.

Just a Reminder to Still be Careful in 2023
Get the vaccines available.Wash your hands, use sanitizers, wear a mask! Use your common sense!
One Book More
I preface this with the fact I have never really enjoyed books written by Nicholas Sparks. I know they are wildly popular romance novels and not my favorite genre. But I was ready to listen to something different and am liking the Nicholas Sparks book, “See Me”, once I was used to the narrator’s style. There is a funny line where a woman character is trying to tell an inexperienced guy about salsa dancing, and her boyfriend offers: “you know how to salsa dance?” She replied she had been dancing for over 12 years and learned alternative dances—I grew up in Charleston. Anything other than the shag and the waltz was considered alternative. It’s funny, serious and romantic but I did really enjoy it and the narrator.
