The piece is about feeling incomplete without your mate. There are three instances where another part is important. A cup, light bulb and a lonely sock. All these things are reasonable examples to ponder upon. Most of all being without the one you love makes you feel incomplete. Like half of your heart is missing. The comfort of having someone to hold on to and make the world go away{like that old song} It's funny how songs seem to get it right. Isn't it?
Thank you for sharing.-

Our author takes us through autumn. The various colors are magical. The crisp air is so welcoming. The pumpkins are the center of attention. Then finally the leaves begin to be crunchy as you walk along. Winter indeed is coming and before long will bring the reason for the season.
So as we wait upon winter; enjoy the magic tapestry of God and how each season has it's own beauty.
Thank you for sharing.

Like so many woman of the last generation; she was thought of as a housewife and stayed in her roll. As she began to think about life and things going on around her; she began to write. The piece mentions she might have felt as though she was on a roller coaster. Up and down the different aspects of her life and trying to write was the biggest fall down the rails of the coaster. She was nervous and wondered what others at the end of the ride would think about her work. So she read her work to her daughter. Finding her daughter enjoying them and a bit fascinated by how well her mother wrote; that made her mother feel a new feeling. Instead of just a lady that goes shopping, or cooks and washes clothes, she has something special about her and there is so much more to discover.
Til this day our character clings to those writings of her mother. Wouldn't you?

Thank you for sharing a nice tribute to a mom.

Our author brings us a motivational piece this evening. There are a lot of loud mouths out there that enjoy nothing more than putting someone down. Don't listen like the piece suggests. Be yourself, love yourself, ignore all the negativity that might come your way and consider the source. All those that talk bad about people; just don't have a life and feel they need to belittle someone else. Bitter, nasty, rotten mouths that should be washed out with laundry soap.
Believe it or not; one day they will be on the receiving end simply because the majority of regular people don't like SNOTS.
Thank you for sharing.

Our author reminds us that we live in a world of diversity. Shouldn't we embrace that and not fight it. If we just would stop long enough to learn about each other and listen to each other; think how much better the world would be. We all are God's children. He made us different. Think how boring life would be if we all were alike. Sure there might be less fights but there would also be less communication. Talking resolves a lot if we just would give it a try. Respect could be the cornerstone for a foundation with which to build a new, bright, and contented world.
Wishful thinking on my part.
Thank you for sharing.

The author give us a look at a penny's thoughts before being cast into a wishing well.
The penny knows the character has been hopeful for a while.
The penny is willing to help in his penny way.
Even pennies seem to recognize when a person has given up on hope. So the penny will do it's part. Perhaps it's thinking; I'll do the best I can to lend a hand.
Our character hasn't really given up and the penny knows that.
For all we know that penny might have been in his pocket for a long time or maybe that penny was the last coin he owned.
Thank you for sharing.

We have a woman in a magical forest and begins to examine her surroundings. She finds lovely flowers. She sees a magical fairy through the mist. Then a stream with the clearest and most refreshing water she ever tasted.
Perhaps this woman has had a hard life and before going to bed she though about escaping the norm for more. Certainly there must be more. Finding herself in this beautiful environment had her tempted to linger but she was suddenly wakened by the alarm. Even though it was a dream; inside her heart she feels she might just start looking for that rainbows end. After all it's never too late to dream the impossible dream. Right?

Thank you for sharing.

She is lost.
Here confidence is gone.
She has been in an abusive relationship and it has done horrible damage.
She wants it to stop.
She wishes to leave it behind.
Unfortunately fear holds her there under her partners control.
Once she had a say in things and now she remains quiet out of necessity.
Any attempt to resist might lead to dire consequences.
No one should live this way.
So many get caught in this situation and are too afraid to leave. They are also so beat down, they think any freedom might be short lived.
Thank you for sharing this emotional and tragic piece. Perhaps it will help others see they aren't alone in the H-ll.

He started a job to help others. He had expected a special job but ended up trying to convince people to give can food to the poor. That was noble and he began. A few rejections and then a generous man offered money. Before there was time to think a robbery was taking place inside the store. He hid and didn't get involved. He soon left his post and went home. He found out that there was a fight between the authorities and the robbers. They all died.

Should he have offered more in this frightening situation?
Should he have spoken with the police and given a description of the get away car?
Sometimes we are faced with choices to make?
What would you have done?

A lot of times some siblings fight most of their childhood. In this story the brother and sister were so very close. They shared hours together. They were almost inseparable.
The brother passed on and the sister is lost and lonely. She is still grieving after 3 years. They say the spirits of our loved ones stay close to us. Apparently her brother watched how she was suffering and gave her a sign to move on. He reassured her they would be together again one day.

This is a sad story but a loving one.
Love between family members that transcends death.
Good job with this.
Peaceful read indeed.

Our author reminds us how we have stopped looking at the misery of the world and have become numb and disengaged. Sadly, we rely on the media for information. They make the call as to what is important or not for various reason. Whether it be political of simple neglect. So if it doesn't effect our lives or end up in our backyard; it isn't relevant. How long did it take for notification of the kidnapped girls to become a headline. Then the sad part is we realize so many thousand others are never known about.

Best part:
The fate to two-hundred distracts
so that the fate of thousands
can be ignored.

Life is funny sometimes. We will set and ponder how our life might have gone if we had just did this or that. It's almost like we find our choices weren't the best after all. Perhaps hindsight leads us to this conclusion.
We forget that there is no certainty in life. Tomorrow will hold the unexpected and we must deal with it the best we can.

One might look at this piece another way. Say a writer is dealing with doubt about his latest work and just a few hours ago he felt certain it would work. Perhaps he is having trouble starting the piece. He might have thought he had the perfect idea and then when writing it down it didn't measure up. Writing is the same way. Let your thoughts go. Changes in thought might lead the story down another path an unexpected path. Go with it. Who knows this path just might be the right one.

Thank you for sharing.

Some people feel that holding the tears inside is the way to go. Our author reminds us that crying is helpful. If you are touched emotionally by something that needs tears; let them flow. After all we are only human and not stone. Sometimes they might be happy tears or tears of grief. Still yet, it shows you are more than an empty shell.

Here we have a man in love. He doesn't hesitate to make that love known. This is touching and sweet. We all want someone to love us and to find the right person is hard sometimes. We might have some relationships that don't work but then 'that one' that special one will come along and push all those lonely negative feelings away.

Best part;
The love in our eyes when we see each other, it envelops us,
No longer two, but one; about it, there’s nothing to discuss.

This piece is about getting old. Well, our character refuses to do that. He apparently will fight it the bitter end. Sounds like he is full of vim and vigor right now and will to take on anyone that chooses to say otherwise. Got a lot of spunk too. Just let him be and do his thing and mind your own business. When and if he decides he needs to be reminded of anything; no doubt he will let them know. Stay clear cause he sounds like becoming a different age doesn't mean he can't still whip some b-tt.

Thanks for sharing this lighthearted piece this beautiful evening.

A man is alone is pondering why. There have been relationships that didn't end well. He seems to feel the need to construct an invisible wall to protect his heart from another go round. Who could blame him? Haven't we all been down that same road at least once or twice? Throwing our hearts into the relationship and investing time and energy to make it work but eventually it falls apart. This is an honest piece. A thought filled piece. Give it a read or two. Most of all don't be too hard on yourself. Love is a gamble and the winners are few.

An elderly man walks along the sea. While walking he remembers the laughter from another time. The waves seem the same but time has changed. He picks up a small shell and notices how it has changed over time. Even though it no longer is used as a habitat for a little sea creature doesn't mean it has no use. Just with the elderly man. He may not be as agile as when younger; it doesn't mean he still can't find a purpose. Throwing the shell in the ocean gives the shell a chance at a new and exciting life. As with age comes new adventures for him cause it 'ain't over to the fat lady sings'

There were those that still had doubt about Jesus. He said He would rise on the third day and yet they still were not convinced. A humble woman brought the news of the rock being moved. It is faith that guides us that love Him. It is faith that helps us understand He has a place for us to be with him. He is always beside His children to love and guide them down the path to Home.
Thank you for sharing this on this blessed day.

Our author explains how election time is a big mess. No one really gives a flying flip about the issues. Actually we, as citizen, would like to see someone really jump in there and address what is wrong and give an intelligent way to solve it. But no. That's not on the agenda. You know in a way this reminds me of a farmer bringing apples and oranges to market. While traveling down the road the containers start to fall inward towards each other. When he arrives what does he have? The same fruit but each and every one of them is in the same mess.
So when we put all our leaders together in a room; what do they do? Argue, casting allegations at each other, deflating their images and soon they all fall down because they can't agreed on anything anytime anywhere.
Apples and oranges could probably do a better job. At least they are good for us, unlike our empty headed leaders.

He is troubled. The nightmares continue. His girlfriend had apparently taken her own life. He was full of remorse. Hearing she was at the morgue seemed final but yet real. Was this a dream or was he simply remembering what he had done to her. As he explains to the reader where he is; we begin to wonder what really happened and who did what to who.

The author reminds us that everyone gets down from time to time. There is nothing wrong with crying. It doesn't mean you are weak. It simply is a way of letting go of some of the built up sadness or emotions that have been waiting to exit for a while. Sure we can wear a smile and we are really good actors and actresses in the outside world. When we are alone, in our sanctuary of home, we can be and feel what we want. So cry if need be. The main point of this piece is to tell us not to give up. After the tears, just like rain, there might be something positive wrapped in a rainbow.

Our author reminds us how important friends can be. Finding someone to listen or help with a problems is appreciated. You must be the same way in turn. The friends don't have constantly be around each other; that's not really what counts. It's the fact that when we call them they are there to offer their friendship. From time to time things might not go right but don't let that spoil everything. Everyone makes mistakes. no one is perfect but having a friend is as close to perfect as can be.

Sometimes we need to have a personal conversation with our Lord. Here we have a man giving thanks for the light given to him, the strength, the guidance, the comfort, he has no need for fear with Him near and how he is protected.

This is pretty and full of faith.

A young boy finds himself in a darkened room. Outside the window something frightens him. Is it real or just shadow and light? Could the wind have caused any motion? He is certain of what he saw and to this day is still caught in that room alone and frightened in his memory.

Your descriptions were well done.

Giving us an seemingly ordinary curious little boy being where he shouldn't have been at first.

Then we find we are caught with the boy viewing something that was evil and unexpected.

There is no answer for what was seen and without an explanation; the reader can certainly understand why the child is still bothered even in adulthood.

I remember those times and shows. Some dealt with justice. Some dealt with family matters. Some dealt with doctors who seemed to really care about their patients. Cowboys who fought for country justice. Funny shows. No blood and guts. No bad words for children to hear. Family shows that showed respect for parents but took time to listen to the kids. Adventure and exposure to parts of our country. The writers had to think and create. They had to be mindful of children watching. It indeed was a different time and mindset back then.
