She stares at herself in the mirror
Looking intently
He knows what she’s doing, he’s seen it before
She’s nit picking the things she doesn’t like about her body
Mentally debating with herself
He approaches her and gives her the warmest hugs
Instantly she feels safe
She looks back at the mirror
Happy to see what’s reflecting back

GC and Sue’s Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge is Cash or Card.
The dinner was great
And so was her date
She was hesitant at first
Thinking of the worst
But a gentleman he has been
She was liking what she's seen
Slowly eating her ice cream chocolate
She was thinking of their next date
The waiter then came over with the bill
And her date sat there still
He then said, "such a funny thing.
I neither have cash nor card. I hope you don't mind paying."
She thought to herself, "Well. There drops the other shoe."
She should've known he was too good to be true.

Do you remember life before the internet?
It seemed time was slower before the internet
People took time to look up, look around and be present
Face to face conversations were common
Photos where taken and developed
While also developing real connections
It wasn’t all peachy and sunny
But it seemed life was simpler then

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a person holding a bright lamp in their right hand, standing alone facing a sky lit with the light of the setting sun. The night sky is making its presence known too.
Sometimes we get caught up in our own little world
Feeling the walls are closing in
But then we see just how wide the world is
And realise, that the walls are only in our mind
There is plenty of space to breathe

It was a slow day, much like the days when we were younger
No cellular phones to distract us, just the water beneath our feet
Sitting together just living the moment
No words spoken, just letting time move
A pace we have not had for long
One we miss and needed
Letting the birds serenade us
It was a slow day, much like the days when we were younger

“I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on Earth. Then I ask myself the same question.” – Harun Yahya.
The sun came out and woke me with its soft light
The sunrise I saw outside was out of sight!
I was filled with much delight
And I saw a bird go and take flight
The flowers bloomed, pretty like a gem
And butterflies softly kissed them
It was as if I was in a dream
Bees buzzing, hummingbirds humming, perfect morning it seems

For GC and Sue’s Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge Birds n Bees.
He loved the sunsets
I loved the sunrise
He mourned the dawn
I welcomed the dusk
He preferred the mountain view
I’m more of a beach girl
But we both agree
That the sound of rain is calming
Singing is a must
And listening to the rustling leaves
Is music to our ears

Enchanting sky
Ever changing always
The light it reflects, radiant and grand
The darkness, it enhances
And shows us Earthlings some hidden gems

Here are two photos I took yesterday.
We do not have heirlooms
Nothing much we can pass down to generations to come
But mom has this necklace
She bought back in the day
This was pawned so many times
To help make ends meet, that was her way
I keep this close, as I see in it the hardship and struggles she faced
And how she overcame them all
My dad was away most of the time, the military life it was
But mom kept the family strong and steady
And so I hold this necklace dearly
Its worth is more than any gold or diamond in the world
This priceless necklace, I told her I'd keep
She happily gave it to me knowing I'd keep it safe

“Our most treasured family heirlooms are our sweet family memories. The past is never dead, it is not even past.” William Faulkner.
This week the Wednesday Challenge on Sue and GC’s site is Heirlooms.
How do you feel about cold weather?
In a tropical country, summers can be hot, hot, hot
So I welcome the cold weather as it often hits the spot
If it happens to be cold on a weekend, all the better!
Snuggling in bed or put on some sweater
Hot mug of coffee, such a delight
Yes! That sounds just right
But should it be cold on a beach day
I wouldn’t like it much, I must say
As long as it’s not too cold, I’d welcome it with open arms
I always fall for the cold’s wonderful charms
