Girl, she went shopping
Her birthday fast approaching
It all looked so good
Grabbed the purse, matching wallet
Perfume, new watch and blender

My response to this week’s 99 Word Flash Fiction challenge from Charli Mills. She offered the prompt: TRUE GRIT. I must say, anyone who dares to try, against the odds, displays, true grit! Check her out each week and have some fun with the other folks at the Carrot Ranch
“You can do this! Keep breathing.”
The physical therapist was encouraging but firm. Of course, she could do it, in spite of the fact that her body would shake as though it wasn’t as certain.
Every day, she could stand was a victory over the weeks she’d spent in a hospital bed. Every day she could move her feet forward even an inch, she was one step closer to the door.
So, here was the walker. She steeled herself for standing and with one loud, YES, I CAN! she rose and gripped the walker with firm and determined hands.
Fascinate
Her goal every day
To bewitch
And to charm
Effortlessly she would float
As though she had wings

Pure serenity
To be one with the sunrise
As all nature sings
