What’s your 6 word memoir?

First, I want to say that I hate Wal-Mart. Hate them.
Second, I want to say that they have driven out every mom and pop in my town and are only option in this small town, so I am forced to shop them……..or another large chain.

Blizzard winds howl
Snow and freezing rain
obscure my windows
darkness surrounds me
the first robin of spring
just returned
nowhere to be found

This past week my doubts [...]

This afternoon I went to a birthday party for a gentleman turning 90 – he told me he reached this age in good health because he knew the magic formula. I asked him what that was, hoping he’d enlighten me.He looked at me and said, “Love. I fell in love with a good woman who [...]

In my youth, I never paid attention to time or the passing years. It was a commodity that I took for granted. I knew where to find it and how to stretch it. Now it owns me and runs through my fingers,.
I want a man who values time.
Who does what he says he will do.
