Poisoned Purple Pen

by Purple Catching Up

Rated: GC · Book · Opinion · #1591550

One writer's journey

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

In response to "Accident Prone?"

My daughter-in-law injured her left hand middle finger and it turned out to be a severed ligament. She too wore a splint for months. She joked that she could give that middle finger salute to everyone and anyone. Her finger stayed curled for a long time, but it has healed now. Accidents are inconvenient and yes, painful. Hand injuries are especially grievous and vexating. Happy to hear your leg spontaneously righted itself. Sending healing vibes your way.

I'm glad your second injury healed itself. The human body is indeed a wonderful thing.

I hope you heal quickly and fully from your ring finger injury. I wonder if you caught your ring on something. I did just that many years ago. Didn't tear a ligament, but did some other damage.

GPS when my husband is driving but for me primarily photos. I take lots of pictures of my cats and my grandchildren.

Same here - My phone is my camera, GPS, Bank card, Travel Agent, 24 hour store, MP3 player, social organizer, Encyclopedia, Calculator, Take Away Delivery Service, as well as communication device. The one thing I don't do much on my phone is come on WDC

- it's more time consuming and difficult to type on a phone especially adding emoticons!

Me too! I did not rush to own and use a cellphone, but once I had one it became indispensable. Like you say, it holds and does everything! Mine stores thousands of photos most of which are the four grandgiggles. I also bank online with it. I have never played games on it nor do I store music tracks. Haha! The landline phone is indeed vintage. Who would have imagined a pocket device could contain so much?

I hope your finger will feel much better soon!

I am so behind as well.

Thank you so much. I am glad my words hit all the right buttons. I was giggling as I wrote this.

Almost party time! I agree, it's way better to be positive and to find cause for cheer wherever and whenever we can!

Accident Prone?

It's been hell these past ten days.

The good note: I finally saw the hand surgeon today. I tore the ligament in my ring finger on my right hand. Luckily, it will heal and is splinted to my pinky finger for the next 8 weeks.

I hate doing reviews and such from my phone, but since I type and text with my index finger, it's probably easier than the laptop. I'm going to test that theory out tomorrow.

2nd injury: Last Monday I was walking out of the kitchen, remembered I forgot to grab something, turned around to head back, and my right leg firmly stayed planted on the floor. Tuesday I was sore, Wednesday too, but not horribly bad. By Friday morning I could hardly walk and the pain was unbearable. I stupidly went into work and only lasted 2 hours. My son had to help me into the house. I started icing my leg, took meds and forced myself to stay off the leg. It was a little better Saturday morning. I decided I had to go to Urgent Care. Before I could do that, I was walking to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee, and SNAP. Something, a ligament, hell if I know for sure, but it managed to move into place and I could walk pretty well and the pain was gone. It was sore, but I swear it was a miracle.

I'm still babying the leg. I'm paranoid, I admit it. But man I feel like I'm injury prone lately.

So for anyone I owe a review to, know that I will get there. It's just a slow go for me.

Be careful out there, you never know when daily activities will take a negative turn
