Day 23: Something that I Miss

What do I miss?

I miss not knowing that the world was full of prejudice and overbearing people that will try to force their will on you. 

I miss my grandfather. He was a man of his word. They make them often anymore.

I miss my children being little and cute, you know when they are babies. So little they cannot move to get into trouble. They grow up much too fast, and begin to boss you around. The choice to spend all day with them is no longer an option unless you can afford the initial expense of homeschooling them.

I miss living far enough away from everyone that the illusion that people were not interfering in my life could be lived for longer than a minute.

What do you miss?

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
