This One-Liner Wednesday is from Linda G. Hill.
Not a financial success, but a win all the same.

The first thing this morning, before I saw the prompt, my husband came into the room grabbed this and started on an itch in the middle of his back. I should have snapped that picture, oh, well.
Our bingeing Saturday began with Jurassic Park 2 and 3. That gave me the chance to scratch my language itch. I did a few units of Latin. I like oft-watched shows while I learn. Who hasn’t memorized our dino shows?
Latin was my first language class of high school. Mrs. Young set us up with ‘A’s and if we turned in our homework every day we’d end with an ‘A’. She was so informative with the arts and sciences of ancient Rome
The text book from the class had interesting and fun stories to translate.
Recently, a word came up on Duolingo, ‘laetus’. I remembered the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. Translating that story had been so much fun, with cartoons in my head.
A while ago I picked this textbook up at a second hand-store or used book store.
So far it isn’t as fun as my old textbook, but it is filling in cracks of information that Duo doesn’t supply.
We moved to our Will Trent binge.
Newer stuff means I work less intensely. I started on Italian as it isn’t as hard. It is fun for me. It scratches that linguaphile itch.
Celebrate is the kind of word you can’t be sad saying. First thing that happens to me is hear
Or
Celebrate life’s moments. It need not be a party or cake. It’s inside. It’s life. Let me live with my brain intact and less than overwhelming pain to be 130.
Every moment is worth a celebration, a smile, a dance, there’s always something to breathe in thankfulness.
Living intentionally is often as tough as the stairway Dan shared on his post. In fact, his published books shows it works for him. By the way, I am reading his book, Poetic Justice as my Kindle, slow read. Not my audiobook, like all my others, but page by page. It is engaging. I just can’t track well. But I am able to stick with it. Mysteries of the murdering type, are tough. But the main character, Brody, keeps the story moving. It is my intention to finish the book within a couple of weeks.
I’m working on my intentions and manifesting goals. That’s what my possibility list on New Year’s starts with small and deep thoughts. From working on thought patterns to knitting, to communication with others. I’m all over the map as I zero in on the things that will bring me joy or somehow help heal the universe
Thanks for this prompt, Dan!
Today has been not only UNusual, it has been spectacular! You know how it feels when you get to chat with someone you haven’t talked with in years?
I feel like I met with royalty. Well, in my life that’s where family, Cuz’ns land. I’m still smiling.
We reminisced about simpler times hanging out at our grandparents’ home, ringer washers, clotheslines, washtub swimming pools, the kindest people who raised our family. The Sunday afternoons, after church in a house that love built. And that felt usual to us. And we felt blessed.
And a special friend (Happy Birthday, Cheryllr ❤️)
For me, this year:
Crater Lake is gorgeous! It was a long drive but worth it.
I was talking to myself and feeling down… Here Rainy Day and Monday hit at the same time
When I was in my early twenties my groom and I lived a year in a tiny town with no radio worth listening to and only three UHF stations to watch.
I lived on John Denver, 2001 Space Odyssey, and the Carpenters back then.
This morning feeling more of the song than ever before even with the best husband (not the same one). I was humming the song as I headed to play piano.
Suddenly I looked outside to see:
We could see both ends of the rainbow. Who knew Christmas Valley had two pots of gold?
