Blogger | But I Smile Anyway...

today, I need to comment on at least 4 blogs, that I haven’t commented on before. Not just a ‘Good!’ Or a ‘Great!’ Or a smiley face, but proper interaction… Sop etching that could start a conversation, I guess. Hmmm, conversation… Talking… Ritu… No problems there!!

1) Peace During The Journey – a great post about Faith during the ill health of the writers mother.

2) Twin Flames Revolt – I loved this post about the ‘synchronicities’ of a blogger and their father, I can so relate!

3) A Moments Glory – all about learning something new, then developing a passion for it!

4) BEAUTIFUL WORDS – a great story inspired by a writing promt, that left me wanting more!

I hope I commented appropriately!

Love reading new posts, and the interaction that can follow!

Milestones, Milestones…!

Flash Fiction Foray- Fly Me To The Moon

A relatively new blogger, The Book Blogger, has started a new fiction challenge with a tag, where you get a song title, and write flash fiction of about 100 words based around the song.
This week, Frank Sinatra’s ‘Fly Me To The Moon’… Here is my Flash Fiction Foray!

‘Fly Me To The Moon’ the sign said, hanging around the strange creature’s neck…
‘I want to go back home’, it continued.
So, this was what they looked like, the men on the moon. Kind of hairy for my liking, but he had good handwriting!
I tossed a few coins into his bowl… I don’t know how far it would get him, but hey maybe, once he got there, he’d remember the stranger who helped him a part of the way home, and send a spaceship for me to come visit.
Who knows, while I’m there, I might get to see what spring is like on Jupiter or Mars!
