Ccc#9 – Borders
Barriers, borders between you and me
What exactly would you see
A wall, a bridge, a block of sorts
Will you feel remorse as a result
Of disconnecting us, or will you scorn
The separation, and feel forlorn
That you’re alone, or is that your wish?
Our leaders last orders seem to be remiss
As the golden rule will be dismissed.

Haunted Wordsmith 3TC – Only as a Friend…
Candy bar, titanic, friend
ใฐใฐใฐ
Seriously, are you going to eat that?
Why not?
Well I’m only telling you this as a friend. . .
Telling me what?
If you eat that, you’ll sink your diet like the Titanic, or ending up looking like it.
You know, friend, you have no tact whatsoever.
I’m only telling you for your own good.
Uh huh, sure.

Daily Addictions: Settle
Particularly appropriate – try saying that three times fast – since I went wc shopping today. I think I’ll go online and see what’s available before I ask my doctor for the prescription I need to get one. I would think the obvious, “I can’t walk” would be sufficient, just as my current GP says, but maybe that’s not PC these days. I’m a no fancy words, say what I think person and think that simple statement should be enough. It reminds me of an appointment I had with a neurologist who insisted I walk without my cane years ago, down a hallway. I told him I would fall because my legs don’t hold me up. He made me do it anyway and of course I went two steps and fell. Doctors…..my history has not been what I would call. . .swell.
These experiences lead you to fight until you’re exhausted or to settle for what you can get. Someone last week told me, you need to fight this, and I replied, I’ve fought for years, I’m just tired of it now. Most fights were for good causes, such as better pay for teachers, better school conditions and provisions for students, etc. Now I’m just tired.

Afterwards Prompt: Wednesday.
The jokester over at afterwards.blog’s Prompt today is Wednesday๐ So going along with the fact it is still Wednesday here in WY, I’ll just blather on about my day. A few prompts appear here on WP on Wednesday: One Liner Wednesday, Write Anything Wednesday, Feline Wednesday, Fandango’s Provocative Question, Wednesday Word Prompt, Writing Wednesday, Word Prompt Wednesday, Wednesday Writing Prompts, 100 Word Wednesday, Crimson’s Creative Challenge, just to name a few to choose from.
I particularly like Write Anything Wednesday because like the title, it’s freeform blather. Of course that’s my usual, so not a surprise. Today I visited the only shop in town to check out a new wheelchair since mine is increasingly harder to use and needs repairs. A very nervous, unknowledgeable person was the only one present and had no answers to my questions. Besides not knowing what a paraplegic or quadriplegic meant, I was not angry, just embarrassed for her. We left with no info, no help except the statement, you pay upfront and need a prescription before we even discuss it. Paying upfront is ridiculous! Who can afford it? So who is handy with tools?๐๐ณ๐
Secret Keeper 175 – Vampire Valentine
His piercing eyes the shade of charcoal against such pale, almost translucent skin. I thought I was lucid–now I know differently. If I wake, will I then see the bloodlust in them, or has my fate been sealed from a wanton night of passion?
JuJoJa 9 One Liner Wednesday
Grandma’s been staring through the window ever since it started to snow. If it gets any worse I’ll have to let her in.

The Prompt is self. What about yourself ? After reading the answers to Rory’s questions about “well I have never, or have I”, the self is out! These question posts and their answers seem to bring out the devil in some bloggers. Of course I’m kidding…or am I? ๐Opening up to your readership is a good thing. We all get to know each other a little better. I try to be honest in my answers, no matter how embarrassing. The real embarrassment is the typos!๐ณ๐

Every day a new opportunity
It may be sunny and bright
Or cloudy and cold
But it’s a new day.
Begin again
Forget yesterday’s turmoil.
Stress and strife is past
Today is a new day.
When you wake up, try not to think about what you wish you didn’t do yesterday or words you wished you hadn’t said, chores you failed to accomplish, a thank you not voiced, or a hug you missed.
Look at that sky! How can you see that photo and not be assured you can begin anew, start again, right any wrongs? You can do it! Set a new goal to enjoy life.
