I enjoyed this alternate format. It’s good to see you playing with your writing — may we all play more in the new year :)

Thanks Michael! Hmm, yeah, playing. I am not very good at playing. I need to figure that out so appreciate the prompt.

Yes, it’s not my default mode when it comes to writing. But sometimes when I get stuck, I find a playful aside helps get me unstuck. :)

Back at you, Donna. I wish you nothing but peace and joy through the holidays and beyond.

I can't believe how fast time flies 😳

Best wishes to you too Kristi. Let's set a goal to see each other in the next five seconds...I mean year!

Hahaha deal!! We were looking to come back last September but chose southern Alberta at the last minute.

I've been wanting to come back since the last time I left 😊

Will keep you posted!

I also want to come your way, it's weird how seldom that happens.

But is it weird? Life gets busy and it's not all about road trips and frolicking with friends 😁

Donna McArthur's avatar

That's true, but what I meant when I said it was weird is that YYC is THE metroplolis near me for getting stuff done. Most locals from here are there frequently. I'm thinking once I retire I will hit the big city more often.

Yah that darn thing called WORK! Funny you mention that lots of people from there come here often, I met a family on my street who moved here from there recently.

Thank you so much Heath! I love seeing you here in the comments, thank you for taking the time. Yes, these words came out in an interesting way, I think I will return to this piece a time or two❤️

Poetry! I love the train of thought you created. What a great message. “Asking for some dam action.”

Thank you so much Carissa! I never thought of it as poetry but perhaps it is in a way.
