I have always wished I could draw.
My Dad was an artist, so was his Grandfather and his Uncles. So are my sons and my sister and brother, but that talent skipped me.
And then one Summer as my counselor recommend I try colorbooks, it was all the rage for reducing stress and guess what it worked.
Not only did working with those beautiful gel pens and colored pencils relax me, it felt like I could draw.

For WP Daily Prompt: What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced?
On the first day of my job as a Morticians Apprentice on my first call out, I did a removal from a hospital near my hometown.
When I got back, I took care of the necessary check in tasks.The next day I took a closer look at the name when it was time to prepare him for his open casket funeral service. It was a common name so that didn’t really ring any bells except for one little one that told me I knew a guy by that name.
Not two guys or three guys. Just one.
It turned out that the first person I prepared for the grave was the very first boy I kissed when I was 13 years old.
It was a weird turn, it was a strange day and sometimes, even though I no there is no answer, I still wonder why it happened.
What’s a book you never finished but still think about?
When I read a book, I always finish it, even if the book blows at supersonic speed.
I will do that because books are journeys and once I start one, even if the conclusion promises to be pretty damn awful I will see it through.
The only exception to that rule is a romance novel that I started to read. I had decided to read it because the author was coming into our store for a book signing and guess what. She turned out to be the most Unholiest Bitch Of A Human Being in ANY trade or walk of life that I had ever met.
She treated us like ‘the help ‘ and she LIKED it.
No only did I not finish the book, just for laughs we moved her books into the Horror section and nobody noticed for a few weeks.
LOL.

When I was little ( around 10 I think )I was thrilled to learn that Dolly Parton played guitar and wrote her own songs, because if she was a girl and could do something in music that boys did, so could I.
My parents knew I loved rock and roll so they thought my Dolly Parton worship was odd but they were good with it… especially my Dad who always watched Dolly with me when she was on tv. LOL.
I’ve played guitar for over 50 years now and Dolly was with me on that journey.
I am broken hearted at her being gone.
RIP Dolly, I will always love you.
