What's in a Name?
What’s in a Name?
Baba Yaga – Unknown Artist – public domain What’s in a Name?            To start with, I had a rough childhood. Multiple step-fathers, step-mothers, step-siblings. Some were users, some were abusers. I was knocked around my fair share. More than my fair share, probably. But I made it, right? That means I won. Or so you would think. Coping mechanisms for people with childhood PTSD are erratic…

Communication
My favorite kind of communication… That unspoken looklong-time couples havewhen they’re saying somethingwithout saying a word One can see the unspokenlanguage,almost understandwhat was communicated And then, as a unit,they go forward withwhatever decisionthey just made. That’s love, right there. Copyright 2021 Diana Terrill Clark

What Does the Future Hold?

Praise
The prompt was “Praise,” and it reminded me that there are five love languages (as described by Dr. Gary Chapman) in his book, The Five Love Languages. I read that book one Valentine’s Day because I try to do things related to the heart on those days. It has helped me every day since. If you want to find out your love language, there is a quiz here: The Five Love Languages Quiz(I am not being…

Look Back/Don’t Look Back
Look Back/Don’t Look Back
Today’s dual Tuesday prompt is “Look Back/Don’t Look Back. Instantly, I realized that to me, this is how forgiveness works.

Nature
The prompt was nature, so, for my slice of nature I wrote about a fond remembrance in Triolet form.
Rainy Weather
I remember going on walks sometimes when it was rainy puddle-jumped and soaked our socks I remember going on walks holding hands and family talks finding rocks and miscellany I remember going on walks sometimes when it was rainy
