Love the poem. And yes, I am my best audience. I get a “kick” out of myself when few others do. I recall my Dad just laughing out loud after he said something he thought was humorous. Now I do the same. Genetics or copycat? Doesn’t matter because the laugh is what counts. Have a great day Jules.
I'm right there with you! Sometimes I have no idea what I'm laughing about but who cares. :) Thank you Clark...so happy to know you do the same and your Dad. Enjoy your Thursday. Thankful for you.
I remember “a soft crunch.” Under boots mostly. Heard in long ago land. A rare occurrence these days in north Florida. I miss the sound.
The closest I can conjure is the sound from walking in soft beach sand. Not the flat, rigid whacked-flat-by-waves sand where waves break. Not the sand of dunes. An in between zone that appears “firm” (and crunches in sand voices), and provides scant firmness for the next step. Like partially set concrete?
I liked your writing today, Julie. It seems my Cuisinart chopper brain pathways misinterpreted your post as a prompt! I’ll appear promptly tomorrow…
Hi Julie, My remark about “misinterpreted” was an observation of my own launching into writing in a kinda free verse mode. Not in a more straightforward manner devoid of efforts to seem creative. Coffee? One half cup so far. Perhaps more would have helped me. Perhaps a grey moment on my part? :-)
“Maybe if I lick the sky?” Such a great line Julie!
HA! Thank you so much Margaret...it makes me laugh and I hope it gave you a smile. Thank you for being here.
Agreed! Thank you for this Julie!
You're so welcome Linda! My deepest apologies for not muting this am on the write session. GRR! How annoying that must have been. So sorry again!
Not at all! We've all done it. :)
"What a goofball" is one of the most endearing things I say to loved ones. Thank you for making me grin!
I love that line myself and say it often. :) I'm so glad it made you grin...Thank you Cindy.
Yes, please laugh out loud
Must be your best audience
If not you, then who?❗️

This made me think of a Jimmy Hendricks line “scuse me while I kiss the sky!” Loved your poem.
Oh good song mom! I forgot about this song. Thank you. :)

Good morning Gary. I'm imagining the soft sound of sand under my toes. :) Thank you for being here and hope you can join us again to write.
"misinterpreted your post as a prompt!" I am not following? Sorry...lack of coffee or blonde moment? LOL!

HA! Oh no feel free to write on here. No worries at all. :)
Goofball is perfect! 👌
A perk of my job is that I get to be goofy 🤪.
Yes! What a great job to have! Have fun filled day of laughter. :)
You too!
Thank you! :)
Oh, this is gorgeous, Julie!
Thank you so much Rebecca! :) xox
Your optimism and gratitude are catching, Julie—and the creative spark that you share with others. Thanks for the shoutout and the inspiration.

Thank you Ruth for reading or listening in. :) It's so fun to have you joining the conversation. Are you still on your travels?
Thanks, Julie! Not traveling at the moment, though in the planning stages for future adventures. Thanks for asking.
Oh Fun! How exciting Ruth! I look forward to hearing about it in your posts. :)
