TToT/FTSF Mashup – For These Things We Are Thankful

It’s Sunday night and my link-up posts aren’t finished. I’ve spent the last several days alternating between wishing I could come up with something terrifically profound and hoping I just get something on the page and completely forgetting that I need to write the thing in the first place. It’s not that I don’t feel…

TToT – Best Day Ever and Bedtime

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a TToT quite this late in the weekend. I’ve been doing all the things this week and through the weekend and like this awesome camouflaged Rotten Cat, I’m pretty tired. I need to wrap it up and get some sleep. But I’m here and I’m doing it but it…

Six Sentence Stories – Journey

She experienced so much on this trip, and wanted to share every beautiful detail with her family. She relived it all in stunning detail, allowing those in the room to share her unbelievable journey. She brought the pictures to life, adding precious bits of information photos can never truly capture.

TToT – The Never-Ending Cold

I still have a cold. I think this must be the cold from hell, brought on by the unbelievably inconsistent weather here – unseasonably mild, then sub-zero wind chills, then up into the 30s, then down to the teens, then up to nearly 60 degrees, then a plummet to the 20s. No wonder my head…

TToT – To Sleep, Perchance to Dream

Oh, I need to sleep. But fear not, friends. Unlike our friend Hamlet who contemplates suicide with those words in my title, I have no such morbid thoughts of ending my time here on this earth. Hamlet was a messed up dude. I’m just really tired and will take my leave here to enjoy an…

Six Sentence Stories – Standard Drill

“Standard drill, Maggie. Please.” She took her usual seat at the diner counter as she ordered and sat staring, unseeing, at yesterday’s newspaper; the regulars knew better than to try and engage her in conversation and anyone unfamiliar with this routine would be quickly convinced to move along by her distinct antisocial air. The old man…

Why I Seriously Need Advent This Year

I hate people. No, seriously. I do. OK, maybe I don’t hate people so much as I really hate how much negative crap people manage to spew into the world. Maybe I’m just over reading about all the bad shit people do to one another. It is really hard to have Christmas spirit and feel peace and…

TToT – We’re Here Already?

I can’t believe it’s the weekend again already. I also can’t believe that Halloween and Thanksgiving have come and gone, that autumn is now two-thirds past, and we’re heading rapidly toward Hanukkah next weekend and Christmas not far behind. Time moves so fast… What is it that Ferris Bueller said? “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t…

Six Sentence Stories – Aged

It was never supposed to be permanent; the separation loomed large but would only be temporary. “I’ll be back,” he assured her, the tears welling in his eyes threatening to mirror the flow of the ones already streaming down her own face. “The waiting might feel forever, but we’ll be together again and then it will…

TToT – Hope

I’ve been thinking a lot about hope and faith lately. There are so many hardships in the world, so many heartaches close to home and far away. No matter who we are or how we hurt, we all need something to cling to, something to keep us moving forward when it feels like we can’t…
