Maybe you should re-read one of your older stories to chase those blues away. Just thinking about a blue-eyed man, feeling blue, under a blue sky, perched on a toilet seat on the bottom of his driveway, while casually reading the paper, is enough to lift anyone's spirits; unless they happen to live next door!

They visited him in LA, and couldn't wait to hear stories about working with Sonny & Cher, and other stars. They were very disappointed when he barely said a word.

I try to put a new spin on the posts so they're not exactly the same, but the basic idea is the same.<br /><br />Hmmm--kind of like these insecure writers posts. How many things can I be insecure about? Well, a lot, but still sometimes it's the same insecurity told a different way.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br />A to Z Challenge Co-host<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345934324603392493.post-8219646741679779592015-02-05T17:12:23.440-08:002015-02-05T17:12:23.440-08:00Al - It's supposed to warm up a bit tomorrow. ...Al - It's supposed to warm up a bit tomorrow.

It had a great theme song, and my favorite line was, "People yakitty-yak a streak and waste your time of day,<br />but Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say."<br /><br />I kinda felt like Mr. Ed last week. I'm sure my family would be happy if I felt that way more often!
