Fandango’s Flashback Friday: November 5th
Wouldn’t you like to expose your newer readers to some of your earlier posts that they might never have seen? Or remind your long term followers of posts that they might not remember? Each Friday I will publish a post I wrote on this exact date in a previous year. How about you? Why don’t you reach back into your own archives and highlight a post that you wrote on this very date in a previous year?

This post was published on November 5, 2018 during my first year as a blogger. Back in the days “before.” Before life morphed into the relentless surreal swirl that it is now. I probably could have written this today…but in a much different context.

Quote of the Day…
The idea of perfection always gives one a chance to talk without knowing the facts.
Agnes Sligh Turnbull
The pursuit of perfection.
A perfect plot for the impossible.
As the first few words
Slip out flawlessly.
A fateful pause. Phrase suspended.
Cloudy with doubt.
Rewind.
Breathe.
Begin again.
New words form.
Slightly bent.
Frayed. Rough.
Slowly emerge
One by one
Scraping. Sweating.
Squeezing their way out.
And stick this time.
Flying together.

Thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything poem-like. That day at the beach was amazing – kites and all!

I think we may be hard wired. That’s a tough one to change.
