Flower

Girl: (WITH FERVENT DETERMINATION) He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves...
Flower:  (THINKING INTROSPECTIVELY) Really? Isn't it enough I grew all these fragrant pink petals? Can't I for once just be a flower without all that pressure?"

Trail

Hikers mark their trail as they trek through unfamiliar forests to avoid getting lost.
Clearly, knitters do the same.

Laundry

In my secret housewife fantasies I want to scream in a dramatic, sobbing movie star voice,
"No more, not another load!  Damn you to hell dirty laundry!"  And upon uttering those words, the wash would magically dissolve, promptly reappearing in the drawers clean, dry and folded.

Beyond darkness and shadows lurks promise of a vast shining sea or a somewhat polluted lake.

Lottery

Recently, for the first time, I bought lottery tickets and lost.

Today in a life lottery, totally unrelated to money, and far more significant, I won.
I found out that I'm dense, and that's a good thing.
From here on out I am redefining winner.

No use crying over spilled milk, or fancy imported broken dinner plates... we didn't.

Resilience

Today I find resilience. When life bores holes in my trunk and eats into my core, I will continue to stand tall welcoming flowers to grow around me even in the harshest of weather.
