#sanddollarpoems

Through the cracks in the walls

And no I did not steal the title from @definegodliness (this man is lying).  ;)  Thank you Mark, who along with sanddollarpoems, @prasannawrites, @expoundingspark and @goneahead kindly invited me on one or both of these.  Although I’m probably famous, or more likely notorious for being anti social (media) here, I think I’ll play.  This might be fun.   5 nice things about me: 1: I love to write, after 20 plus years of writing (nearly 11 on Tumblr), it’s a little more difficult, yet the love is still there. 2: I make people laugh, especially at work. 3: While I can be whinny, I’m rarely if ever mean.   4: Back to writing, I especially love my inner writer/child.  He’s very kind and loving even when I’m not feeling it. 5: This last one is kind of challenging, being very emotional, along with knowing sorrow a little too well, I’m also on a first name basis with joy and beauty.  This combination I believe helps me to be understanding of and compassionate toward others. The rules for this tag game stated: Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly, and send it to 10 of your favorite mutuals (non-negotiable). SPREAD POSITIVITY! ..and now 8 for 8: 1. Favorite Color(s) : Purple and Blue  2. Currently Reading: Re Reading some old Thich Nhat Hanh books 3. Last Song: Annie 4. Last Series: How The Universe Works, I guess 5. Last Movie: It’s been a while, but as the world’s oldest living child, in the past couple of years, my favorite would have to be Moana.  6. Sweet, Savory, Spicy: Spicy, though not quite so much in my old age 7. Craving: Now that I have dentures, I would KILL (metaphorically) for Cashews 8. Currently working on: Trying to be kind to everyone including myself Now for tagging, makes evile grin.  No pressure, please feel free to play either, neither, or both.  I tag : @aubriestar, @petrow, @alexandraswritingblock, @sherrylephotography, @oddman-the-oldman, @chucklingpecan, @takingstockofwhatmattersmost, @suzyhazelwood, @betterthannonfiction, and while I think of one more, I tag everyone who tagged me and didn’t already do both, as well as anyone else who just wants to play. Love to all, Mike <3
