The best words

I shall not claim to have the best words as a recent presidential candidate did. But there’s a thing about words: how beautiful and eloquent they are, how they spring to your mind, how perfectly suitable a specific word can be. I remember reading the dictionary as a young girl and not as homework either….

Daily Prompt: Pluck

Usually, I arrange my work clothes for the next day before I go to bed. Yesterday, I felt tired and a little lazy and decided I would just do it in the morning. In an effort to beat traffic, I leave the house pretty early. So I’m rushing and I just plucked a shirt out…

Morning sun

I clock in at work at 5am in the morning. If I time my first break just right (7:10 or 7:15am) and no one is seated at my favorite spot in the cafeteria, I am gifted by this view of the morning sun. I sit facing the window and just let the rays radiating from…
