Day Three

March 18, 2020March 18, 2020 Tina Stewart Brakebill

“That’s effing awesome!”

“Language.”

“But ma. The diner car is up in the air.”

Resisting the temptation to go easy, she suppressed a smile. “Don’t ‘but ma’ me young man. I’m tired and you know your dad doesn’t have any patience for your stories. Get your book. It’s math time.”

“But ma!”

“No buts! Get your math book.” My Lord, it was only day three. How were they ever going to do this for months! And where was Don.? He went out for T.P. hours ago.

“I’m home! And you’re never gonna believe what someone did to the diner car!”

memories

sun lit memories

of wine stained molten kisses

warm the bitter nights

as lips once burnt by fire

still smolder in the mind’s eye

This wonderful photo sparked memories of hot European days and nights, so thanks to Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday for the photo and to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for offering a great prompt (molten kisses) to go with my mood.

I Will Not Cower

March 16, 2020 Tina Stewart Brakebill

I will not cower

from the fragments of my mind

To feel is to live

I’m feeling (and thinking) all kinds of things this week. End of the world? (Hope not.) End of TRump? (Yes please!) Do I have enough tp? (Are you kiddin’ me with that question!) Will my parents be ok? (YES! Yes?) Will I be OK? (?) Should I go to …? (Probably not.) And so on and so on ….

So I’m trying to feel the feels, think the thoughts, and then let then go and move on to the next thing. We’ll see how it goes 😉

So thanks to following for great prompts that allowed me to channel some of feels and thinks into words.

What Do I See for providing an awesome visual and Ronovan Writes for the word prompts of “think” (I substituted feel) and “shrink” (I substituted cower).
