There are days you wish you could tell the world to stop a while – you want to get off – just for a bit.

“When I’m tired, I rest. I say, ‘I can’t be a superwoman today.”
Jada Pinkett Smith
Thanks Spidey!
Yes! Yes! Jada, Yes!!!
I agree with you 100%!
I just wish I could follow that thought process through.
I need to really learn when to step back and say “no, I can’t do that. I am too tired.”
Instead I am always running on nearly empty, refuelling just enough to get through, then running myself low again.
That is not a good way to live.
I really need to take Mrs Pinkett Smith’s advice, so I can continue to be a superwoman, like all those others out there!
So… tell me, do you know when to take a break?

Charli’s Carrot Ranch prompt this week:
July 4, 2019, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story using your choice of microhistory from Keweenaw National Historic Park. Be historical, funny, or flagrantly fictional. Choose a character, time, place, or event. Be as creative as you want in telling the story (for those doing serials, how can you meld this into your own storyline?). Go where the prompt leads!
The Tale of Michael Finnegan
“There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He grew whiskers on his chinnegan
Along came the wind and blew them inegan
Poor old Michael Finnegan, beginegan!”
The strains of the rhyme reached Michael’s ears, and he smiled, rubbing his hairless chin.
It had been no secret that he’d never been able to grow a beard.
At first, it frustrated him. No one took him seriously.
This fresh-faced whippersnapper, arriving from Ireland, wanting to do business.
And the kids made up this silly rhyme that used to annoy him.
Not now.
Beard or no beard, he’d made his fortune!
Read about the real Michael Finnegan here.
I used to sing that rhyme as a child so much! Have you heard it before?
But I Smile Anyway...
