A Short Read Today!
The weekend has started. It’s Saturday! It was indeed a rainy afternoon yesterday. I spent time trying to work on the following pieces. The Valentine’s word for yesterday was CHERISH. There were quite a few songs with that as the title. There are a few I like but my favorite is by the group The Association. The word brings up thoughts of romance; to cherish someone. Also I find the word in that one should cherish their family. It depends on how one wants to use it. I used it two ways in the pieces below. First that one should cherish family then in a more romantic way.
Terry’s daily word yesterday PUKKA. Another word I never heard before; but after seeing the word and the definition, the piece If Only The Opportunity began to form in my mind. I was able to use the Valentine’s word of the day along with Terry’s daily word.
My big challenge to try to do something with the wacky holidays. So I came up with woman flirting with a guy as she toasts the landing day of the Marines at Iwo Jima. It seemed it would be fun to do. I had to do the flirting as I could not think of another way to use eye lashes in the piece. My husband said I should have had her fishing out a false eyelash from her drink while sitting at the bar; no one pays her any mind as they all are too occupied with a John Wayne movie about Iwo Jima. Good scenario but now wish I tried that idea. I’m having challenges working the wacky holidays into play each day. But, it’s fun to do so.
Until tomorrow....enjoy the weekend and as always Stay Safe.

GOOD IDEA
Cherish the moments with your family
Hold dear the time spent together
Tell them as often as possible how
much they mean to you
Don’t ever pass up an opportunity
to be with them
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
CHERISH
Can never tell someone enough how much
they mean to you
How often we tend to forget to do so
Each day you need to remember to hold
dear those important in your life
Realize time is a cherished commodity
In our busy days we sometimes forget to tell
people how we feel
Spend time also with those you treasure
Hold them close always in your heart and
mind

IF ONLY THE OPPORTUNITY
He held her in the highest esteem
A treasure he thought her to be
Not like the other women he knew
He thought her pukka....one of a kind
A first class act....nothing false about her
Did the other guy see her in a similar
manner
or did he think of her as another conquest
If only she’d give him the same opportunity
as the other
He would cherish it as he’d cherish her

WACKY HOLIDAYS FEBRUARY 19th
(Iwo Jima Landing Day; National Lash Day;
National Tartar Sauce Day and National
Chocolate Mint Day)
Batting my lashes at the cute ex-marine
sitting a few barstools down from me
I smile as I make a toast with a chocolate
mint martini to those Marines who
seventy-six years ago landed
at Iwo Jima
My mind then switched to another topic....
dinner....will I have cocktail or tartar sauce
with my fish
