Good Bye : Wordless Wednesday
It’s time to say good bye to hosting Wordless Wednesday. I had hoped to return with #WordlessWednesday as #WednesdayWisdom late last year. It’s time to focus on the other parts of my writing which includes publishing, and pursuing other related interests. It would therefore not be possible to do justice to a blog hop. Thus, with a heavy, but grateful heart I hang my boots here and say adieu to #WW. I might choose to participate in the prompts hosted…
Thankful Thursday
The last few days have been awry and gloomy. I’m so glad for this opportunity to count the blessings around me, Thanks Brian for this prompt. I’m thankful: 1.

Before I Die: WhatDoYouSee | Fiction
Before I Die Written as part of Sadje’s What Do You See? picture prompt. They sit outdoors, huddled in crooked rows; The octogenarians and septuagenarians. They have aged gracefully; The bitter-sweet embrace of a life well lived. One foot closing up on the grave and one smugly here; Some holding on to dear, precious life, Some impatiently waiting to kick the bucket into light.
Wordle | Wordled: #WhatDoYouSee #Fiction
Wordle | Wordled For Sadje’s What Do You See? picture prompt. “You’ve been Wordled,” guffaws Sam, as he and Nick stand in the alley exchanging their Wordle scores. “What the heck is “Wordled?” quips Antonio mounting off his two-wheeled Scooty. “Dude, it’s this 5-letter word game that has taken the internet by storm. It’s called Wordle. No marks for guessing that it was created by this fella called Josh Wardle!” explains Nick animatedly.

Slow – Niksen: MondayBlogs | MondayMusings | HopeWriterLife
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” Lao Tzu Go slow to go fast. Slow and steady wins the race. We’ve heard these adages time and again. Yet, when we live in a fast-paced, modern society, where everyone is bustling away to accomplish their tasks and pin their goals; these thoughts are put away in the back burner. Having said that, Do you remember the beach holiday where you sat doing nothing, just watching the waves…
