    A perfect fortune for a writer! My writing space Yesterday and Today with a bunny in the middle. Yesterday was National Coloring Book Day. I shared this coloring sheet (and others) on my website and this morning I spent coloring. Nice, relaxing, fun. First oatmeal of the weekend Day 2 of Retreat. A blessing.

    Birthdays

    Standard

    I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth.

    ― Ovid, Metamorphoses

    Or

    Happy Birthday. You have a free pastry at Panera.

    Prompt

    Standard

    Not surprisingly, this week’s “theme” is unofficially birthdays. Or unbirthdays. 🙂

    Write about what you miss most from your teen years.
    …Twenties.
    …Thirties.
    …Forties.
    …Etc.

    What is the worst thing about  getting older?
    The best?

    What have you given up that you regret giving up?
