Today’s word is market; twist: dialogue only

“The divorce is finalized? How do you feel?”

“I haven’t been alone since I was nineteen. I’m sixty-five now. I don’t know if I’m feeling anything.”

“That’s the problem! You NEED to feel something. Wasn’t that part of the reason why you left him?”

“ Okay, I’ll tell you honestly how I feel. Promise me you won’t laugh!”

“ Promise with all my heart.”

“I’m excited because I’m in the market again! After all this time! I’m not looking for a man. I’m yearning for a feasibility!”

“I’m so happy for you. What’s next?”

“A café and a book.”

Thank you,

, , and FS Editors for the inspiration!

My friend of the day…

and her lovely poem brought me back to my time with one of my favorite books, “Good Night Moon.”
