BROKEN EGGS

“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,” I’ve heard it said.
As with any pursuit of man,
God listens, laughs, and throws his wrench.

    Love that last line...so true. I have stopped using the words "my plan is"; it just doesn't mean anything.

      My mother used to say, "Never say never." And then an example of having said she'd never live in a certain city, yet was when her first child was born! For me, when reading about someone who eats squirrel (nothing against you if you do!), I say, "I hope I never have to." Because, you never know, right?!

      Thanks so much! For some reason the font is called "Mountains of Christmas."

      Yes, as the post below makes clear, the "best laid plans..." I guess we all need a plan B and C, maybe more.

    What a great theme idea! Happy A-Z! So true, I've also heard it said: "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." - Robert Burns (Dragons & Spaceships)

      It's true. Plans often fail to come to fruition. I don't believe a heavenly wrench is thrown in their works, but sometimes it feels like it!

      So it would seem! Personally, I put it down to just stuff happens!

Summer Freedom

 Writers' Pantry #80                       Summers were barefeet running the neighborhood, tar filled pavement cracks melting in the sun (pick it out and chew it) sticking to our soles. Quick! Any lawn to cool them.   Sprinklers and stubbed toes.   Too soon, the dreaded days of school, our toughened feet trapped and strapped into leather oxfords and saddle shoes. Softening until those sweet, sweet summer days of freedom and running barefoot once again. hot foot it back home summer’s annual dance step barefeet on pavement   ©2021 Lisa Smith Nelson.
