I am a northeast girl living in the south and it has taught me much! I never met a Doppelgänger (that I know of) but moving here introduced me to lots of large and small scary looking potential ganger types anxious to make my acquaintence!
HELP!
ARE THESE Doppelgängers ?
DO THEY CONSIDER ME DINNER?

THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW!
I’m bummed. I don’t always read Ben Huberman’s posts, but when I saw yesterday’s title in my feed, which included Thank You, followed by an opening line of “Saying goodbye is hard”, I had a bad feeling.
The Daily Post with its daily prompt and other cues and supports for blogs is going away. Its been around a while, over seven years. As someone who has been blogging less than a year, I find this disappointing. Once I started using the prompts last summer, I’ve become both more regular in my writing, and have developed an increasing appreciation of the opportunity provided by the appearance of a semi-random word each morning. My response to the prompt varies, ranging from a long blank space to a flood of ideas. Almost every day at least something makes it into a post. Its good exercise for me.

Christians, as well as any other “religious” groups I have heard of, are raised with clear values ESPECIALLY love!

In the earliest moments of morning
While traffic outside is quiet,
The family sleeps,

My stress disappears . . .
It’s just you and me.
I have all I need
And more!

Ah,
that delicious moment
when you don’t know how it’ll happen

I primped and perfected
or so I thought
but felt nothing.
I floated in an ocean of if only
and why not
as the waves grew higher
and brought me down.

You saw your beloved
absent of all those doubts
and insecurities.
The waters stilled
and as I looked at my reflection in them
I saw you.

I sit at the water’s edge
hearing the music of the droplets
tumbling over the rocks at the shore . . .
sounds of strength and hope.
