It's Kind of Embarrassing
Appreciating myself is a concept that I have never given much thought to before seeing this challenge. This caused me to look up the definition of the word, "appreciate:" to recognize the full worth of of something or someone. That hit me like a ton of bricks.

Random Thoughts on April
Mikeydred has summoned us up with a new prompt. This one is to write him a story or a poem that relates to the month of April. He has even been so kind as to offer a list of goings on set aside in this fourth section of twelve that we are partakers of. I will try to include them in my madness here, too.

A Sprinkle of Cinnamon
pic from Pinterest "Okay, so I skipped school today. I just couldn't stand the thought of running into "him" after our horrendous break up. Besides, I could study better here and get a Chai with a sprinkle of cinnamon, just the way I liked it. My grade average wouldn't be one bit affected by my absence. My mother wouldn't find out, either. When the school calls to report my status, she'll assume I had been late (as usual) and tell them just to mark me as a another tardy. They won't have much choice except to comply."
