Let’s give Mary from Jingle Jangle Jungle a round of applauds. 👏 She volunteered to be this month’s guest co-hostess. The final theme for February, Mary is giving you two choices. The first one is to spell pistachio using Song Titles (or Artists/Bands if you prefer) since it’s National Pistachio Day or go with number two to build your picks with “leap” or “jump” song titles since it’s a leap year.

Leap of Faith
Here are this week’s questions:
1. How many times have you been a patient in hospital? More than I would like to think.
2. Did you notice any differences with your experiences?Definitely, from a small town to a huge city medical center to a large city to a small city varies significantly. Probably the worst experience I had was in Southwest hospital in Houston. I think maybe it had needed to be torn down but is where I received radiation therapy after my first cancer.
3. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being good and 1 being poor, how would you rate food choices, and separately on the same scale, quality? UCDenver hospital my number one choice but Cheyenne is not bad.
4. How long were you in for? Anywhere from two weeks to a few days not counting a ten day rehab.
Gratitude: I guess with this subject matter that any hospital stay you get out alive is a good one😳😂So I’m grateful for that.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
Joe woke up groggy, cursed the sunlight glaring into his eyeballs and checked the time on his watch. Suddenly aware of the woman beside him, her pale beauty triggered a response low in his body that similarly preceded last night’s scene. The night had been a lovely dream space, but the harsh morning light anchored his mind and stirred a passing thought of guilt. He stepped onto the floor slowly and carefully, pulled on his clothes and left.

I am a bird lover and every room in my apartment has bird motifs. I’m highlighting the Magpie here as I think it’s strikingly beautiful even though many people think of it as a noisy pest.
