The Bag Lady

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” – Jane Goodall

One-Liner Wednesday – Thunder

fence cracks wavering

hurricanes, floods, tornadoes

damages are clear

it’s Mother Nature’s fury

but a sentimental side

has single rose flowering

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #093

I had some ideas right at the start

Block is easy and I’m so smart

Then reading further a mental block?

I dressed, put on my shoes and socks.

Hmm, it simmered up there under my mane

That small place

Lots of empty space…my brain

I started walking, you guessed it…

Down the block

Hoping a new idea came from old stock

But realized quickly I had to succumb

Mental block! Brain flashes “empty!”

I’m afraid it’s numb!

Fandango’s Story Starter #253

Joe was late, again. These appointments are a pain in the neck! How can a young woman sitting there in her fancy Bloomingdale’s suit and Jimmy Choo shoes possibly relate to me and my life? After Afghanistan, I came home broken, I admit, but this woman has never been there, or in any military service, so how can she know what it’s like? But today I’m going to the VA, showing up soaking wet, but at least I’ll be seeing a real veteran!

Simply 6 Minutes – Welcome to the Challenge: 06/30/2026

“Change a comin’.”

An old song.

The words are clear.

Easy to join, singing along.

A hopeful refrain.

Sam Cooke said it well.

Wrote these words while in a cell.

Watch or read or sing it, and tell.

Colleen, this is all “Greek to me”. I assume my old (since 2016) form will still work?

What do you see # 347- 29 June, 2026

When they all rush to show concern, drop you off at the home, the elderly companions know you halt to roam. The winter day, the box of your place, the heat turned up, hest occupants won’t complain of too chilly a space. Helpers work never done, the old ones dug in, imagine the nurses provide what they can.
