A vague gray glowing

Creative Writing Challenge #11 - Lyric me

This is a really hard challenge for me because music is so much a part of my every day and no one song or lyric fits me two days running. I use music to change my mood when things are too heavy or to bring on the tears when I'm in pain and can't cry. I've been caught dancing through my house, the grocery, and just about anywhere else, even when there's no music playing. I keep it all in my head!!

Creative Writing Challenge #10 - My Secret Crush

He is a Leo, same as my dad was. But I don't think I view him as a father figure.



No, I'm certain I don't.



He was born in California; I don't hold that against him since he makes a better cowboy than any I've met here in Texas. Then too, they were cowboyin' out on the left coast long before it became cool to do so. And, like so many other things, they cowboy slow and easy out in California.

At this time last year I was staring down the finish line of my youngest daughters senior year. It had been a long time coming. After many years of dealing with three children who were not go with the flow inside the box types (apple doesn't fall far from the tree) I was almost finished.

Driving late at night
On a long dark rural road,
Ghosts will ride with you.

"Today, I am a Mirror" Creative Writing "Here's Lookin' at you, kid"
