Today my bladder woke me up @ 4:04 am so onto the computer to check my email before getting ready for work. It was quieter today which enabled me to power through my filing etc. I came home @ a good time to have my lunch, rest up & go out again for my 3 pm massage therapy appointment. It went well – the cream for my arthritis in my right knee is helping with my DISH Arthritis in my back so that’s awesome. I’ve powered through 3/4 of my Basho poetry book from the library. I can return the book on Saturday.

Dear Judy,
I haven’t written since Tuesday because I’ve been busy. It’s been a boring week and a boring weekend. Nothing much to say. Love, Tara Kimberley Torme G.
CREATIVE NONFICTION PROMPT
The “missed connections” section of the classified advertisements website Craigslist has long been a virtual bulletin board to share a memory (i.e. I smiled at you on the train and you smiled back) in hopes that someone would answer back. Write a personal essay recalling a situation in which you may have missed an opportunity to connect with someone, whether a romantic or professional prospect, or a potentially significant person who may have slipped through your fingers. Explore ideas of fate and chance, persistence, lost opportunities, and assertiveness. How have your approaches to meeting new people evolved over time? Are there any missed connections from your past that might be picked up again now, years later?
