In 50 Words



You could say I'm one of those people that get caught up in "writing contests" sometimes.  Without hesitation seeing The Peterman Company had a
 Shortest Short Story Contest with $1,000 gift certificate as first prize and 5 four hundred dollar gift certificates I was intrigued.
Wait. Gift certificates? What are they selling?




A sightseeing package maybe?
Nope.

We are to imagine ourselves in search of that perfect item
(whatever it might be)
and tell our story of it in 50 words or less.

Okay, my high hopes drifted to another path, beyond their products. 
We have so many choices in this lifetime journey right?

Here are my 50 words for us, I won't be sending it to The Peterman Company.


Dock your boat take a seat and listen.



Seeking Enthusiasm
(my search for that perfect item)
item being that individual or unit,
 especially one that is part of a list, collection or set.


From a whisper of adventure
unleash your heart's desire.
Be wholly absorbed within a thrilling course
bursting by flight of grateful content.



Anticipation awakens our curiosity by way
of simple exhilaration, as silent joys abound 
with every little laugh that consumes us
let life's cozy blanket lift our spirits
evermore. 



"To find a man's true character, play gold with him."
P. G. Wodehouse

Let life buoy up your soul.




"Flowers are happy things."
P.G. Wodehouse

Remember,
feel
what our country means to us.


"To survive in
 peace and harmony
united together 
divided we fall
together we're strong
we are one people,
one nation, one flag."


"If you want to live a happy life 
tie it to a goal
not to people or things."
Albert Einstein



Enjoy your week and take good care of you.

The Peterman Company!

I hope you enter and win.

Love that place. I read somewhere that the actor who played him on Seinfeld bought the company.

You should enter (I never do even though I recently saw a photo contest for a place I have some incredible shots and thought, I should do that, and then let the date to respond pass by)

I am pretty certain that enthusiasm is a permanent (and cherished) resident in your head and heart.
