What is Love?
A "Love in 50 Words" Challenge Entry
On Valentine's Day, my friend asked,
"What does being loved mean to you?"
I softly smiled at the whisper
that only I could hear, so true.
"Especially patient and kind,
Still love shows up - truthful and just.
Love attempts to help and protect.
Love's beautiful, not simply lust."

When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

Reflecting on Past New Years
This year I can feel the changes that I have gone through. Gone is the timid little thing that was often invisible, but I'm not sure if I have completed the transformation into the dragon that I knew was my destiny early last year.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

This is sweet. Good luck in the challenge! I'm Bill/Bolt. Nice to meet you. I love your profile too! The best I can get shrinks to certify is that I'm bipolar. But *I* know I'm crazy. 😉👍 I love your response. ⚡💙⚡
