Anti-Ageing Prayer: Remembering That Happiness Is Not Measured By Youth Or Age

Lord, help me to stay young at heart as my body ages. And not be closed-minded and full of yesterday’s rages. For yesterday is only a memory to be visited from time to time And not a place to linger too long and worship like a shrine. May I remember that happiness is not measured by youth or a (posted by Fran Larson 1 year 278 days ago.)

When Alabama And Florida Merge-A Book Is Born: Classmates Reunite After 55 Years

The school I graduated from in Tarpon Springs, Florida has the uncanny ability to keep in touch. And why not? Back in the day of the 1950’s, Elvis was alive, “Where the boys are” by Connie Frances was popular and life was, for the most part, innocent and good. So it was that on one of these “touchy feely class... (posted by Fran Larson 22 days 15 hours ago.)

I’ve Got Nothing, Zero: No Creative Juices For Writing & Plan To Do Nothing But It Is Really OK.

I have been writing for WryteStuff for about 6 years and always wrote with passion and fulfillment and I wrote often. Writing friends here at WryteStuff have been asking me things like “where have you been” and “are you OK?” The answer to that is “I am OK.” I am mentally and physically...

My Computer & I Have A Good Relationship But A Quick Wrong Key And "Poof" Everything Is Gone

I guess you could say that I have morphed into a computer freak. It happened before I knew it. I have been writing articles for years, but never used the computer for other things until lately. Last year before I took a trip to California, I purchased a netbook. It is cute, handy and can be taken on the airplane as a carry-on. In... (posted by Fran Larson 332 days 10 hours ago.)

Second Chance For Becoming Thankful & Using My Talents For God: Reminder From Awesome Friend

Recently, my dreams finally came true! Not only did my dreams come true but also they came true, multiplied times two! My book that I had written a few years ago was published and also one of my children’s stories. It was/is a surreal experience that any writer would treasure.

Much To My Surprise Facebook Turns Out To Be A Blessing: Serendipity In Spades!

The first time I signed in for Facebook, I looked at all the messages scrawled on the page. Some of the messages were personal, some informative and some just plain fun. It was a whirlwind of emotions, entertainment and bits of news. I thought to myself, “Do I really care who goes to Busch Gardens or who is facebook friends with whom.” Among the messages also...

My Legacy: Hopefully, It Will Be Words Both Spoken And Written That Will Help Others

A few years ago, Jim and I put together books for our 4 daughters. These books contained pictures ot their grandparents, Jim and I and of course their “growing up” photos. Each photo was combined with a poem that I wrote. I wouldn’t exactly call myself a poet, but at least it is from the heart. At the end of each book, I...

"Quiet" Would Be My Label, But It Really Isn't True: I Have So Much To Say If I Could Just Be Heard!

“You seem qualified for the job, but I think you would need to have…um ….well, that is to say, you would have to be talkative and outgoing for this job.” I sat dazed and felt anger tugging at me, knowing full well I could do the job. “The job I have now is very stressful and believe me, I have to talk a lot. I am a... (posted by Fran Larson 1 year ago.)
