Re “Fatigue”, Omg I kinda pictured you having an idyllic life, writing your wonderful Leaves with metaphorical leaves of creativity, grace, and fortune falling onto and around you, and all while irresistibly engaging us. I feel even more irresistibly engaged now that I read you’re human! 😅😃

The first one is cute ... and what a great contrast in the second - really shows off your range.

Beautiful! And to lift the fatigue just a little, that fifty percent of the nation that is inexplicable probably thinks the same on 80% of life’s questions as does the voice speaking, so the fatigue can safely recede a little with understanding and tolerance.

Good ones, Sharron. On the 2nd one, I wonder, which half is the mad half? : )

First story. )))))))

Second story. Yup that's about it. Add three of four cats with medical problems. No resolution yet.

Ouch!!!! Sounds terrifyingly similar to what I go through almost EVERY day... The Father above could be of help. I said "could." (Sigh)....

I’m glad to see you survived the Atmospheric River! I’m back in Texas now. We visited Carmel hoping to see the Pro Am, but that was not to be. Carmel was blacked out on Sunday, so my wife and I spent the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Our hotel comped us the last day, which was nice. We love adventure!

Loved "Coffeehouse ". Just perfection.

Both wonderful, Sharron. I remember the first - and it's still gorgeous - and I can relate to rather too much in the second! 🤔

I continue to be envious of your ability to tell a COMPLETE story in so few words, Sharron. I haven't tackled a 50 (or 100) word story for awhile, but "Coffee House" and "Fatigue" inspire me. I love the form. Thank you for being a writer who sets a bar fellow writers aspire to reach. Hugs!
