As sure as the sun shines....
This post is a themed writing project challenge taken from Jenny Matlock over at off on my tangent.
Jenny says we can use UP to 100 words to tell our story. It can be fact or fiction. Jenny posts a few words, a prompt that we work from. This weeks prompt is in bold itallics.
Sunshine isn’t really tangible, or is it?
How could I not wish forever for something that I knew with every ounce of my being that I needed?
Like water and food.
But mostly like love.
And because I wished for it, longed for it actually, didn’t mean that I didn’t appreciate what I already had.
A bookend, a soul mate, a dot for my i.
One who understands me like no other.
Sunshine isn’t tangible, or is it?
Depends….
The early November sunshine cast golden rays through the window and landed softly on an answered prayer,
my newborn baby girl.

Some bloggers write "gimme me some love".... as far as I'm concerned, I'd love some love, but I'd even take some hate, some expressions of your disgust, your outrage, mild irritation, sheer joy...whatever, I can take it, honestly I can. Just please (please) leave a comment or two and let me know what you think. Merci.
