100,000 th Comment Winner!!!!

 

In a previous post  I noted that I was at my 99,990th comment and that I would send a free book to whomever posted the 100,000th comment. Then, because I’d had an exhausting day running from office to office in Guadalajara, trying to solve an impossible problem concerning a mistake they made in my immigration paperwork 23 years ago, I fell asleep and just now woke up and discovered that the winner is . . . .Kittyverses, who has been reading and commenting on my blog since  2020.  Kittyverses, if you see this, please send me your mailing address and which book you choose from the list of books I’ve written on Amazon. HERE is a link to those books. Let me know which you prefer and I will order it and have it sent to you.

And, thanks to all of you who read my blog and comment. Wish I could send a book to each of you!  xooxox Judy

 

99,990

I am presently at 99,990 blog comments! The person who makes the 100,000th comment receives a free book of their choice from me. Look on Amazon or on my home page for info on all my books!  Judy

“Nostalgia” For the Sunday Whirl Wordle #669

Nostalgia

Memory is a strong vine up which we keep on vanishing—
every upward movement, more of the present banishing.
Toward  the top, our back flashes set up such a yearning,
tripping sighs and anguish that set our hearts to churning.

Basking in past glories makes us turn a blind eye to 
all we might tap into looking at the world anew.
Living in the past instead of seizing on today
I fear creates a “now” that we choose to throw away.

 

For The Sunday Whirl today, the prompt words are: back flash vanishing tap top trip yearning blind sigh vine strong fear   Image by Luis Galvez on Unsplash
