Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge and Sunday’s prompt word reveal for Six Sentence Stories! It is a cold and rainy Sunday in my part of the world. A good writing day. Rain or not, every day is a good writing day, yes? 🙂 Whatever your plans, or no plans. Whoever may pop over for a visit or not, perhaps you will steal a little time for yourself and write a Six Sentence Story for this week’s new edition. If not complete a Six, perhaps lay the (no! don’t do it, don’t use the word 😆) groundwork for a story or poem or new scene from one of your wips. Do you have a draft laying around that might benefit from this week’s prompt word? Why not check it out? Whatever you do this Sunday, enjoy. Write. Then write a little more. Later, people!

Melanie Myers was a regular customer at the Ms Petite Boutique as they had clothing she preferred, simple, but stylish, not too overstated, but in fashion. Small in stature but a bit rounder than she cared to be, Melanie often felt overwhelmed when her usual size would fit snugly around her waist. “Oh, gee, it must be the last few days with all the events,” she would say, knowing this was not true, but she was too embarrassed to share that it was the chocolate eclairs with that perfect cream which kept her mind pre-occupied, although she did not imbibe in many, she had a hard time keeping her weight down.
As Melanie dragged home to her lovely apartment, she dropped her shopping bags and plopped in her easy chair, summoning Erika for some tea, she sat and pondered about what to do about her weight. At age 83, was she really caring if she gained a few pounds and what about the fact that they make clothes in larger sizes to accommodate her comfort. An epiphany struck her faster than Erika could bring her tea and grabbing her purse, she headed back out the door, to the Ms Petite Boutique to buy the prettiest outfit she could find in just the size that was comfortable for her frame, as she thought to herself, I deserve to live in comfort and I deserve those eclairs.

The Archies who played a concert I attended in Iowa. That was many moons ago, and several chocolate eclairs.

Happy Friday and TTOT day! No, I did not move to the desert, but I ran into the photo when I was working on a project and just love the colors. So, what’s happening on this week? A lot, I would say, so let’s get the party started!
You know I am going to tell you how excited I am about tomorrow’s event and I am thankful that we are getting there without too many hiccups. And you know I have to share about it! So, here it is. Ya know…it’s virtual, right? hint hint What it is to be a Woman
2. Another poetry book has been edited and produced for LaVan Robinson. I posted about it HERE
3. The Prolific Pulse Poetry Podcast is going well. I am learning as I go and the important thing is to be open to new things and positive changes. I am grateful to be learning. It’s good to challenge the brain.
4. Daughter has received fabric and patterns and is making scarves and bunnies for folks who are in need. I am so proud and grateful. She is also making masks for folks.
5. Remote controls. What did we do before them? Oh yeah, get up or leave it on the same channel. Daughter’s remote took a dive and I think it has resulted in an appreciation for such devices.
6. Animal photos. I love to look at cute animal photos. In these days of news blasts and political mumbo jumbo, it’s nice to watch kittens and puppies and other critters having fun.
7. Bravery of a sweet soul with coming forth about abuse. I am grateful that they found the courage and they know they have the support.
8. The ability to pray and send positives to those in need. There has been an upswing in these requests and I am grateful that I am asked to do this. It means somebody believes I do what I am asked and I do.
9. A sense of humor. We all need a good laugh and I get tickled a lot by my friend, Missy and her blog Midlife Margaritas. She interviewed this comedian and I think it is worth sharing. Be sure to view the video. Another Hilarious Woman in Comedy: Meet Tara Brown
10. YOU! So, are you coming to the table this week, because we always have something good to serve up! Let’s see what you have in your covered dish.
