JJJ 2 – Gregorian

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized

There’s a few things I’ve never done

And here I’ll name more than one:

Never driven a Delorean

Never chanted Gregorian 

Never ate a single shrimp

Never cruised in a ship

Never flew in a helicopter

But never would refuse the offer 

Never thought I’d love to write

Even though my mind is slight

Never thought my words be read

Reactions I might have dread

Ended up in the end

Making many interesting friends!

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Did you stay up to see in the New Year last night? No choice as fireworks were very loud until about two!
2. How are you feeling this morning? Tired, as I’m still trying to get back to a healthy state.
3. Are there any special occasions/events coming up in 2024 (weddings, special birthdays, babies). My oldest son is going in again for surgery in a week so that is concerning.
4. What was the highlight/s of 2023 for you? I took a weekend road trip with my daughter and granddaughter to see an old friend.

Gratitude: I am grateful to be on the road to good health again.

Greg’s Five Word Challenge

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
He feasted on his latest forage, the heart and liver of the deer—a truly beautiful animal, but the sacrifice was necessary. The haven was getting near the heaviest snowfall and he needed strength. His family, located far away from his wooded home, were flippant in their meals, deciding to waste food randomly, not like him. His calling had been to return to the natural life, away from others, blending into the forest around him.

The Sunday Whirl

“The butcher did it!” He explained, “I know, the last guy you’d ever expect, right? But take a spin into his world, and think about what he does with those sharp knives every day and if circumstances came to him, causing feverishly scattered thoughts of aching revenge, well….”
I felt like an hourglass with the last few grains of sand fastly disappearing down my center. I had known the butcher all my life! My incredulous eyes fluttered as I realized the detective was right. The butcher always seemed an enigma, only shadows seen in a shallow pitch of emotions when greeted, but murder? I gasped!

MLMM Saturday Mix – Grief

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
At first she lifted it and inhaled deeply. His scent of woody evergreen was so familiar, her heart ached. She saw it there after, after she started to breathe again, but couldn’t bear to touch it, or take it home into their room. It seemed appropriate to let it remain where he left it, because maybe he would come back somehow, to retrieve it. He would put it on and come back into their home and life would be the same. Instead she stood and wrapped herself into it as if it was his arms around her once again.
