Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist)

There is so much to smile at but when it comes to making a post of these smile occasions the mind goes somewhat blank. Then I read some comments I have received and realised that it is the interaction and communicating with those who comment on my posts that give me so many smiles everyday. There are the understanding comments – I smile as I am no longer alone, there are the ones that appreciate the creativity and effort I have put into the post – I smile that the piece has been appreciated, there are the humorous one – I smile and sometimes laugh out loud. What a way to start my day, perhaps cheer the middle of the day and go to sleep by at night. Thank you to every single commenter on my post – you all make me smile. I’d love to give oodles of examples but will give just one which I hope will make everyone smile.

1. A comment on my blog by Diane from Still the Lucky Few who in response to a 99 word flash fiction writing about libraries  wrote: “My sisters and I loved reading. We read constantly, all through the school year, when the library in our country schoolhouse was available to us.But when summer vacation came, we were locked out and could only wistfully look at the books through a window. One day, my older sister had enough of the literature drought, and just opened the window. There we were, three little girls looking temptation (and crime) in the eye! What did we do? We read all summer, that’s what we did!”
