Todays word is present.

To Be or Not To Be, Present(short story) MwsR ❤

She had many good traits.

Always on time to whatever came up or she had to attend. She hated being late and did once, but never again.

Her timeliness was one of her traits, as well as making anybody laugh at her antics and jokes. She would always try to make another person smile, if given the chance.

Known in college as the life of the class, she kept good grades there also, by staying on task.

Her friends always looked for her, they enjoyed her company. “Never a boring moment”, she would exclaim, as she made them laugh.

You always saw her kind nature and her fun one, but there was something not yet known to anyone.

She felt removed from her own mind a lot of the times, like she was living someone else’s life. She felt that she was not even present in her own daily life. She never gave anyone a reason to doubt her being present, but it was something she felt.

I guess you could say that was part of her charm. If she felt PRESENT as herself, you know, the one inside, no one would like her. At least that is how she saw things.

Love This Song!!!!!! It rings true. I think there is so many people that no one ever notices, suffering and alone. People doing the wrong things, heading the wrong way.. I think we need to offer them hope and encouragement. It is a shame that people we would consider to be God’s people can be self absorbed and not even realize there is people right under their noses that need help or a kind word.

LYRICS ARE BEOW…..

 
She is running
A hundred miles an hour
In the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyons ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She’s another two years older and she’s three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in,
To ride in and save the day
And then walks in her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
A momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Who can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her

If judgment looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Who can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
Never even met her

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even know she’s going down today?
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

Three Things Challenge/July 16th

https://thehauntedwordsmith.wordpress.com/2018/07/16/three-things-challenge-16-july-2018/

Welcome to the Three Things Challenge!

Everyday I post three seemingly unrelated things and the challenge is to find a creative way to use those things.

This can be anything you want it to be…the point is to have fun, share, and be inspired.

To participate, simply link to this page (creating a pingback) or posting a link to your contribution in the comment section.

Remember, anything goes…just have fun!

Today’s things are: tower, tidal wave, shark

Tower

I will not let your opinions, your thoughts tower over me.

I refuse to dine at the table of your sarcasms and disapproval.

When I find myself, completely

It will be me who will tower over you!

Tidal Wave

Once my friend and I were floating in the ocean at a popular beach. She suggested that we just float as long as we could and also wanted us to take a nap, and when we awoke we would see how far from shore we would be.

Well, we did just that very thing. Time got away from us. When we both looked around in surprise we were carried over the forceful tidal wave into the lull in the ocean. The people on the beach looked like ants. We had floated so far away from shore. We had to hand paddle against the tidal waves that oppressed our floats, till finally making back to the shore.

Wow, what a time that was, took a long time. Safely, we made it back after much effort and certainly needing to rest and take yet another nap, lol.

SIDE NOTE… I used tidal waves instead of tidal wave, hope that is okay.    MwsR ❤

Shark

In your lifetime you will encounter different personalities. The one that comes to mind for this prompt is the one that is the “shark“. This personality is a person who will “bite” you for no good reason. Just because they want to, usually. Be careful who you allow into your life. There will be bottom feeders, fish, and the ones who are a shark.

Personally I prefer the fish. The fish is someone who you have no worries from, whom you have something in common with, possibly just like you.  The bottom feeders follow you just to get what you have or leave unattended. They can be tricky and sneaky. Be one the look out when you have those.

Moral of this short blog… Not every thing/everyone that swims in your sea is a friend, watch your back.  MwsR ❤

FOWC challenge/Memory

Welcome to July 16, 2018 and to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). It’s designed to fill the void after WordPress bailed on its daily one-word prompt.

I will be posting each day’s word just after midnight Pacific Time (US).

Today’s word is “memory.”https://fivedotoh.com/2018/07/16/fowc-with-fandango-memory/

Write a post using that word. It can be prose, poetry, fiction, non-fiction. It can be any length. It can be just a picture or a drawing if you want. No holds barred, so to speak.

Once you are done, tag your post with #FOWC and create a pingback to this post if you are on WordPress. Or you can simply include a link to your post in the comments.

And be sure to read the posts of other bloggers who respond to this prompt. You will marvel at their creativity.

Memory

“I remember a time in my life…”

It was a bad day for me. I had problems with my grades in school. My teacher decided it was a good idea to let fellow students pass out things that had been graded. This one time was in my math class. Anyone that knows me probably has heard me say, “Math is not my best subject”, and let’s just say I did not pass this certain assignment. A girl who always made above average grades was asked to pass this certain graded assignment back out to the people whose names were on the top of them.

I remember hoping that my grade was a good enough one that this girl would not see and hopefully that she would not let anyone else see it. Unfortunately she would look at the grades on them as she passed out. She walked up to my desk and in front of everyone that was looking or listening, she declared my “D”. I was so embarrassed I wanted to crawl under my school desk. She looked at me as she handed to me and said, ” At least it isn’t failing.”  AT LEAST IT isn’t failing!!!! I WAS SO EMBARRASSED , for the second time in a row.

Needles to say I hated those kind of days. Not to mention walking in the front door at home and having my parents see it and having to deal with their reactions and being disciplined. That was a time I will always remember.

I was never good at math, but on the plus side… I don’t need math to write!

Thanks for reading!
