#foreveryes

I tell myself I write for the love of writing. I tell myself it’s OK if no one else reads it. I tell myself that something can be good even if no one else *likes* it.  I tell myself ….

But …

And what about …

And if a tree falls in a forest is its death worth it if nobody reads my stuff?! (Wait.  I think I screwed up that reference.)

So …

I cannot deny it’s pretty damn cool when someone else DOES like it.

I submitted this piece to The Drabble and long story short (literally–it had to be less than 100 words) they liked it. They really liked it! (Apologies to Sally Field for stealing (and then messing with) her line. No apologies to those who don’t get that reference. You have your youth–so there’s that!)

So go visit it and give it a LIKE (if you like).  You can find #foreveryes at The Drabble

Many many years ago, a girl met a boy at a bar. All summer long, they drank rum and danced to David Bowie and sang with the Heads. Then summer ended. But the girl didn’t go home. She stayed because like Chaka Khan says “Ain’t Nobody.”

Ain’t nobody
Loves me better
Makes me happy
Makes me feel this way
Ain’t nobody
Loves me better than you

Happy Anniversary to my love. Happy Birthday to my love.
