A glimpse of what matters to this writer most and what makes her heart beat a little faster
You can find my writing for #fridayflash right here in: The Creative Writing Corner of Estrella Azul category ;)
I would appreciate any constructive criticism you can offer, and thank you so much for reading!
Can you count to ten in good things you see around you right now?
I’ll start:
Your turn 
PS: as you may have noticed, I changed my background image here. It looks great on my laptop’s screen, but I wonder, how does it look on your device? (best in full screen)
A great post! Taking stock of what is immediately around me right now…
Stocktake done – here’s a list:
1. Gorgeous red teapot that makes the best tea ever…
2. Heater (it’s freezing!)
3. Beats headphones (awesome sounds for walking)
4. (Can I count my computer? It’s awesome! It keeps me connected with so many people and things I love!)
5. Canvas photo print of a nudibranch (the reason I work – so I can dive)
6. Water (never rated high enough!)
7. Mobile phone (like my computer – it keeps me connected to my loved ones)
8. Gorgeous soft black wool scarf that is super warm & cosy
9. Bookcases – to hold all those good books…
10. Electricity – so often taken for granted…

Thank you for playing with me, Kenneth, I love your math solving abilities You hit a soft spot with that last item on your list. But I’ll still hold you accountable, and expect to see the rest of these.

Yay, you haven’t forgotten!
And I absolutely love these new items on your list, Kenneth, thank you for playing with me
you make it real easy to play, my dear
I bet you say that to all the kids. Plus, it’s only because I like the kids on the playground
I’m visiting from the Summer of Soul Project page on Judy’s blog. Sweet photo! It’s fun to see what each person who has posted one is “about.” Nice blog!
Thank you, Terri. I also like looking through all the photos posted on Judy’s blog, thank you for the reminder (I was cleaning the house for the past two days, so am a bit out of the loop)
