The trauma of the past came up often, memories like post-it notes stuck all over thoughts. Often thinking of the future, what could be, should be, won't be. Whirling thoughts shifting like the wind in the mind. A child laughs, suddenly all is still, the post-it notes taken with the wind--it is the present.
I counted post-it as one word:) Have a great weekend everyone!!!
Every Friday write a poem, story or limerick of 55 words, no more, no lessAnd then report to the G-Man!

I love contracted words ~ gives us a bit of leeway! I really liked what you did with yours. It is a reminder that it is the present we live in and have to deal with. We cannot change our past or fortune tell our future, but must strive to live in the now. Important lesson. Great 55.
I enjoyed seeing photos of your son. I tend to look at my children when days were better, longing for them to return. Today I am grateful for the present though because it is all I have. And, in spite of the past ~ they are all gifts to me. We can choose to grow stronger through our struggles or wilt...you seem to be growing. I hope, like you, that Zach will come around and grow too.
Have a peaceful weekend.

Thanks for this. Trauma of the past is something that I work at leaving behind.
I sure wish a big wind would come along and blow away all the post-its in my head! It seems that many of us were thinking about memories this week. This was a beautiful reminder of what I'm missing today if I stay focused on the past. Awesome 55!
I think a lot of us can relate to this. I so enjoy your FF 55s!
Geat 55...ike your style of writing it's nice and you express your self so beautifully. Wish that I could of helped you with the posting of a link lesson I'll be glad to try it again if you'd like me to it isn't hard maybe confusing but not hard.

If wind takes away the trauma, let it blow, all day, every day. Great 55.
This is so great. A child's laugh always brings us to the present. A lovely 55! ♥
Only the present is real!
This is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I have found playing Friday Flash 55 as another outlet but much more fun and creative. It keeps my mind in the present for at least a tiny bit;)
