one word

i love the one word site, it challenges me to stay creative. maybe it just gives me an excuse to be creative. i tend to notice that my entries are a lot different than the other ones posted. i had a few great language arts teachers from sixth grade through twelfth. i won a bunch of story writing contests in sixth grade. i was in the 99th percentile for grade 12 english students in manitoba the year i graduated.

but i don't write much anymore, other than my blog. developing grave's disease (a thyroid disorder) and hyperthyroidism (an over active thyroid caused by the body's attack of the thyroid which it thinks is a foreign alien, what grave's disease is basically) and then hypothroidism (an underactive thyroid due to radiation treatment for said disease) has changed my concentration and thought processes more than i like to admit. there isn't much research into this result of thyroid disorders from what i've been able to find.

if you've never been to one word, and you like writing, go now. actually, go even if you don't like writing. see what you come up with. it's just a minute out of your day. : )

yesterday he declared his undying love. undying love that i didn't want. i didn't ask for it. it came unbidden and without warning. streaming forth like the water from the rock that moses struck. what did i do, if anything? i smiled. i said thank you. i walked away.
