Great Shares from Dora (DiBartolomeo) Vickery

Sharing handbag/shoes


I saw an article in AARP called Really Short Stories. It told of a challenge that was put to Ernest Hemingway to tell a story in six words. Papa's come back was "For Sale: baby shoes never worn". There is also a book out that is called 'NOT QUITE WHAT I WAS PLANNING: SIX WORD MEMORIES'.

I found this to be quite an interesting concept. They had examples of some entries for milestone birthdays . One was "Nearing 60, still on rough draft". They had others but I guess you get the idea. I was wondering if any of our classmates had a six word memory they could share. It could be of any thing about your self. Just something about you...

Any ideas or thoughts?

Dora

Oh yes, I can't believe that I am reading AARP and for that matter even talking about it I Really Can't Be That Old......

  6. Hey Rich,

    I thought perhaps that was you, as you are my only favorite Anon but with all the new people on board, I wasn't quite sure!

    Hugs,Rose

  8. Hm-m, such a tantalizing proposition,
    to state a pithy, succinct expression of one's view of life in six little words. . . oh, so many possibilities. . . such as:

    Enjoy the moment, cherish the memories;

    or, said with a wink and a slight feminist tone,
    "You've come a long way, baby!"

    or, said most gratefully,
    I'm healthy, happy and still here!

    or, said in a nostalgic way,
    Despite early stumbles, arrived "home" safely.

    or, well, you see my point. . . one could go on all day!

    Great share, Dora, once again!
