Things are fierce and hellish inside the city, but if you look at it from a distance, it's pretty.

I think in the 20 years or so I’ve been writing on open diary I’ve not done the theme of the week writing prompt. I decided okay, thanksgiving and what not, give it a shot. I’ve got a few of these folks. My mom first off. She’s been really fabulous on and off for the…

If you could stop one human emotion from existing, which one would it be? I have thought about this question for about 24 hours now and as usual I will go with my first gut response, which was Jealousy. Jealousy is really an emotion that protrudes off the branch of Fear. I hesitate to say…

Theme of the Week #78: What qualities (seen or unseen) do you find most attractive in a person? This one is a tough one for me. As previously mentioned, I don't find most people attractive, as such.

My husband and I are both homebodies so it's like we were made to be quarantined, but it is difficult when you a...

This is a good one... There are so many people that have passed on that I would love to speak to again. And for different reasons. I'd love to speak to my maternal grandmother again. She was a huge influence on my family and she passed away when I was 13. She was only 69.…

This is probably why Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. Not only was it an opportunity to see my extended family, but it was also the holiday that my aunt made her spectacular mushroom soup. It is not an easy recipe and took time, but she knew I loved it and made it basically…

I had more fun doing these themes in bunches rather than one at a time, so I'm going to do it again since it's been six themes since the last time I replied. So here are my answers for TOTW 7-12: 7. Which of your values do you value the most? Despite how awkwardly worded…
