Who says you can’t be a big star with a #stutter?

In the two years since they won the championship, they have become a #shadow of their former selves.
Was it hubris, or mismanagement?
It was something no one knew. The devil collected his fee.

I give you one of my favorite album titles of all time:
“Break Like the #Wind”

As I enter the #autumn of my life, I sometimes think back to what I might have done differently.
Then I remember that if I did change something, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
And I smile.

Johnny took great care to pick the finest #dandelion in the field for his beloved.
She took it and blew it into the wind.
Things weren’t going so well for Johnny.

I’ve always loved the #stagger start for the Olympic 400m race. You never know who’s leading until the final corner.

“Here comes another one.”
“Yes, I see. another beautiful specimen of #blackbird.”
“No, this one is different.”

I start each day with a #sliver of hope that my shortcomings will not be exposed.
Well, there’s always tomorrow.

“A walk in the #woods will do us good.”
I couldn’t argue – I hadn’t been out of the house in days.
I wish I would have seen him carrying that axe…

Silence among the rice paddies. The lone #heron paces, looking for breakfast.
Another spring morning in progress.

It was the worst part of their jobs, pulling apart a #tangle of bodies after a horrific bus crash.
One of the rescuers found a baby, still alive in the mass of humanity. A shining light in a sea of darkness.

Sitting on the porch on a warm evening, watching the young families walking by. Playing random chords on my guitar. #Fireflies dancing in the air.
Just this side of heaven…

I know a place.
A place where no one goes.
A place for solitude – for contemplation.
The #river. My #river.

Taking the long view. Watching the seasons #ebb and flow as they will. Being at peace.
Some would call it a wasted life. Is harmony with nature wasted?

I have few mottos in life, but this is one:
If you can’t have #fun, why do it?

Rad Tad was always afraid to be hit. For good reason, since he was so small.
His #turtle trick became legendary.

The old man wanted to be impartial. “I #hesitate to pass judgement on this matter.”
“No choice is a choice, sir.”

Some supervisors think that sending a check every two weeks is enough.
#Trust is not a one-way street.

Silence would #signify their acceptance.
Silence did not rise from agreement, but from utter confusion.
“Mission accomplished,” the salesman said to himself.

“I’ll meet you at the corner #cafe. You’ll know me from the floral hat I’ll be wearing.”
Unfortunately, there was a festival that week.

One does not need to proclaim #innocence if it is obvious. Those that do…aren’t.

You can #radiate joy, or cultivate sorrow.
You have a choice. Every day.

They both knew why they were there. There was no need to exchange #intimate details.
One night together would be enough.

From the “We Should Have Known” department:
The first two vehicles registered in the state of Ohio were in an #accident.

“I have no time for you today.”
Her sly smile would #betray her true intentions. She would find time, of course. Gossamer had not had his meal.

The wind howled, the snow swirled. The road was #treacherous. Yet, nothing would deter him from his mission.

“I never meant to #hurt you…”
“I know. But it’s too late now. You’ll have to live with this.”

“Time to #flee!!”
She beseeched her husband to retreat with her against the oncoming horde. He was determined to defend their home.
Homes can be rebuilt. Lives cannot.

Anna awakened with a scream.
“I didn’t mean to #spook you, dear.”
The visage of her departed mother appeared.
“Why did you leave me?”
“It wasn’t my idea…”
