Tinker Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 What Do You Want? I made a list I want Scotty to get better grades I want Bob to make more money I want Momma to get well I want Linda to find love I want people to be kind I want peace on earth Then she said "NO! What do YOU want? How can YOU make it happen?" ~~Judi Van Gorder Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Lists and the power of repetition. Dramatic, in that it still isn't resolved at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Thanks Marti, Epiphany was the prompt. And it is true, I attended a seminar simply because my friend was leading it and she needed more attendees. The exercise was to write a list and this was my list all except the last 2. But the answer was the same. It was a pivotal moment in my life. It is when I decided to embark on my career in insurance which gave me the freedom to create my own time schedule to help my son in school when needed and to give my family financial security. That list almost 40 years ago changed my life. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Judi, I get it, and I admire it. I lack the courage to even make a list. Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
