We Are Back

Imagination is the key Trixie whispers Follow your bliss. Be an artist. For you already are. Be winsome. Be incredible. Be us. A purple dragon doctor with shiny glistening silver scales Lights down on the desk next to my typing fingers. She is wearing a red cherry colored tam. Are those bagpipes? I ask, hearing the Scottish melody. Knowing the butterscotch brownies will taste fabulous Trixie rolls her eyes. Adding a drum roll, and the dragon disappears. Today has a glorious sparkle. There is a feeling of happiness. “We’re back!” someone whispers. It must be Trixie. I feel grateful, satisfied and enthusiastically invincible.

I was thinking maybe we were goners, but then go-to-attitude and sheer WILL came roaring out, burning negatives as fast as we could.

And I am ever so glad to punch my way out of physical dullness which has irritated me beyond belief, Ilene.

Seems to me, reading this one, that you and Trixie are back, BETTER THAN EVER! Wonderfully penned, my friend. Warmest wishes, Gershon

I am realizing something I did not know before. Writing heals me. Writing is the key to health for us. Weirdly enough.
