DECEMBER WRITING PROMPT
Never Short of A Humorous Thought
Another writer who’s made me laugh more often than cry
She’s been out here a lot longer than I have and it took a while until I got hooked by her writing which I blame mostly on the abundance of essays being displayed every day on my dashboard challenging me to find the ones I want to read.
She pulled me into her circle when she picked up Dennett earlier this year who was on her way out of the platform. And then, she shocked us all with her own fall. It wasn’t just a simple fall in the garden, it was the sign of a stroke.
What followed then was a long way of recovery for her, a woman of incredible determination for activity and healing. And for us, she created a series of entertaining stories written and sketched to describe her sufferings in the hospital. I call it suffering but wonder if she laughed more often than cried.
She also writes and shares pictures of her garden in all stages of seasons in the year and if you’re an avid and interested gardener, I recommend you to stay tuned for her next one displaying the back or front yard in the upcoming spring.
For everyone else, do me a favor and read at least the last “Post Stroke Mumblings” story. She slipped and fell. Again. But she laughed while others worried.
Thank you Louise Peacock for your continuous effort in helping Dennett keeping this publication going and for your entertaining writings.
These were my other prompt responses:
Susan Alison and “Flowers and Doggie Illustrations”
Erika Burkhalter and “Enchanting Narrative With Award-Winning Photographs”
