Another great theme from Shweta, for this week’s six word story prompt! My contribution is about someone I care for and love very much. I can feel them around me; their entire presence is so palpable and evident, I do not need to see them for them to be near. Let that marinate for a bit, you’ll get it.

Care to join in for this week’s six word story prompt, too?!

WordPress Glitches

trE

Typically, on Tuesdays, I share a snapshot of a person, place, thing, etc that I’ve taken during the previous week to share. However, WordPress is glitching and I’ve not been able to upload the image I wish to share for today.

If it decides to act like it has some sense later on today, I’ll share that photo at that time. If not, I’ll allow more time before attempting to share any additional images. Right now, it appears to be an issue with uploading and copying/pasting photos in the blogging/content space to share.

I don’t have time to tinker around with WordPress during the week. My day job lends me enough stress and I SURELY will not have an activity of mine I love to take part in during most evening hours give me any stress. No, thank you!

Prayerfully, this will all be sorted before my next posting date which is Thursday, February 22, 2024.

Stay tuned, beautiful people!

Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to the fourth challenge since A Cornered Gurl’s relaunch. What do I have in store for you for this challenge? Ah, a sharing of just how grateful we are, even in the midst of this turmoil and grief and age of endless bad news . . . there are still things for which to be grateful.

And how will we do this? Oh, you beautiful human beings, you . . . we will express ourselves by using 5 words only.

Grateful: the definition

adjective
1. warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; thankful:
2. expressing or actuated by gratitude:
3. pleasing to the mind or senses; agreeable; welcome:

— Dictionary.com

The challenge: Writers will share something (or some things) for which they are grateful. It can be anyone and anything, just describe it poetically — in verse by using 5 words only. Are you up for this challenge?

Note: This is a challenge — a challenge in brevity. Please do not submit a series of 5-word grateful responses to me in one post. Think outside the box, people. Use 5 words only in one set.

An example:

Nature’s kiss gives
me hope.

Let’s do what we know how to do best, beautiful people!
