I lift a Glass of Wine
in A Toast:
to Me,
to Life,
to New Beginnings!
This is not The End
but merely a Detour,
a Bump in the Road,
to where I'm heading.
Destination: Unknown
but Arrival certain!
It all Begins
but where it Ends is Unknown:
therein lies the Excitement,
the Expectancy...
here's to New Beginnings!

How do you tackle the challenges and changes in your life?

  • With fear and hesitancy
  • With an attitude of "Hey, let's see where this is going"?
  • I try to avoid anything that might take me out of my comfort zone
  • unsure

I'm sorry, Brett.Tesol, for mispelling your name! I do some of my work from public internet and some from my phone. The work on the phone is not so easy to correct, so I apologize for the misspelling of your name; thank you again for stopping by and taking the time to read and comment!

Now that's what I call good writing. No undue flourishes, no maudlin introspection, just extremely well written words, straight from the heart.

Less is more... so much more, my friend.

Loved it.

Why thank you, Twilight Lawns, for your very kind and encouraging words. I find writing from the heart is the best policy for me. I'm so glad you liked it; cheers, my friend!

epigramman, thank you for your kind words; I'm humbled as always whenever someone admires my writing gift. I thank you for the invitation to your Facebook page and will try to get there; no promises as I'm not a big Facebook devotee. I toast you on your new adventure on Facebook: to more followers and lively discussions; cheers! I send you warm wishes as well from the Gulf Coast of Florida, Central time of 6:16 p.m.

Hi, Twilight Lawns! I'm glad all is well. It is chilly here in Florida, believe it or not, lol. I did take a brisk walk along the Gulf this afternoon to clear my head and get the blood flowing. It had been cloudy, windy and damp, but still beautiful here ;-) Glad you stopped in again; it's fun hearing about the different times and such in other parts of the world and country. Hope you have a wonderful night!
