WHY I DON’T EAT BANANAS

She sat swinging her newly painted toes over the edge of the tailgate.  The truck was baby shit yellow, roughed up from one to many fender benders, and had a burn mark on the hood from an engine fire it had endured in its past.  But it was hers until she could afford a car…

THE NEW BEGINNING – PART SIX

The ending to the story…. This post will be short and to the point because I don’t want to linger with these thoughts much longer.  I know I have to concentrate on me.  I worry now about the worry I have placed on my friends and family…added stress and anxiety.  But this is honesty…it feels…

HOLDING ONTO LIGHT
