I have been sending my thoughts and p...Dear Karen,<br /><br />I have been sending my thoughts and prayers your way each day since I learned of your loss. It is so difficult to lose a sibling...my heart goes out to you.<br /><br />I once saw an ad that went something like this: "For trade: a wheelchair for a gun of equal value." <br /><br />Another one that made me think was something along the lines of the Hemingway quote, when someone was selling a wedding gown that had never been worn.<br /><br />The challenge I have with six word "stories" is that the context is left out. I am always looking for the context... for me that is where the story is.<br /><br />Many blessings and have a restful weekend,<br />SalomaSaloma Miller Furlonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269289644573402840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-23732377163483770152010-12-02T18:19:23.338-05:002010-12-02T18:19:23.338-05:00Karen- so sorry to learn of your loss.

My thoughts are with you all.<br /><br />I think I follow you on at Stephen's so his next tour of villains will be fun.<br /><br />I love this idea of writing a story in six words .. "snow comes - melts all thoughts away"<br /><br />Completely swamped us! We just can't cope ..but it's nature I worry about .. I'll be out to feed the birds later on ..
