Part VI

T is for Tying up Loose Ends

Here I am at the end of my posting, but looking like I'm at the beginning. Is anyone but me confused? I expect that my readers are much more computer savvy than I am. I couldn't figure out how to change the order of the Parts I-V so that they descended rather than ascended, which made more reading sense to me. So I went into the post options and simply reversed the time of posting. It breaks up the reading of a long post and, in my opinion, flows better. What do you think?

To keep this extended post in line with the others for the month I'm going to add some words that are fun to say. At least in my opinion. The fun, I guess, is actually on the on the tongue of the sayer! I've found it to be a little bit of a challenge to think of words without cheating - i.e. going to Google. My lists are usually a combo of both! For all you non-commenters out there have you tested your own word skills and added to the list(s) even if you haven't posted them?

I'd like to believe I'm stimulating some "t"hinking!

Here are my lists:

I'm not sure if I'm back to where I should be, but I'm close. I have successfully whittled away most of this day. If I were to be paid by the number of words I write, I'd perhaps have enough money for a tank of gas!
Merry ME

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...

Like a lot of others, I felt like the...
