It Made Me Think
Today I read a story that kind of shook me. I don't think that was the intent of her story, but it did rattle my emotions a bit. I was taken into a journey of fond remembrance and then catapulted into the stark reality of today's world from my vantage point. It left me with all the feelings of losing the woman I once was...or at least a portion of that woman. I realized that I had resigned from being a sexual and passionate creature. I had put those desires to sleep when my husband left.

Sorry; not sorry. Top Story - May 2025.
Your Honor, please!!! I implore you to gaze upon this fair woman's countenance and arrive at the innocence of her soul. She meant no harm to her husband that fateful night...her only sin to pick the wrong mushroom added to the soup bowl!

It's Kind of Embarrassing
Appreciating myself is a concept that I have never given much thought to before seeing this challenge. This caused me to look up the definition of the word, "appreciate:" to recognize the full worth of of something or someone. That hit me like a ton of bricks.
