Loved the way you took those sand grains for sugar sweet grains... and any of them could be the last... So savour it to the best...Fantastic Mag Kathew

Thank you for visitting my blog. I think Jack left enough of his gremlins unsaid... there might be another installment forthcoming, I'll see what I can do.
I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteShort and sweet. Savoring each tiny bit.
ReplyDeleteWould that we all could live each moment fully but we always think there will be a tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the here and now. I'll drink to that!
ReplyDeleteI wish you sugar in each hour of the glass. Some have sand. And I'm with Martin H!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, the wonderful grain of time! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteWell said. Time, we always think we have so much of it left, but...

I always imagined salt or sand in the glass. Sugar keeps turning up here and there. I like that much better.
ReplyDeleteand once it is gone you will never get it back...sweet magpie!
ReplyDeleteWe forget how precious time is. Seeing the sand as sugar, and the sugar as sweet time, is an interesting touch.
ReplyDeleteI would appreciate a follow-up explaining exactly HOW I can do that?
ReplyDeleteI know. Too stubborn for too long leaves no hope for the old codgers of the world.
I think I'm down to two grains of sand left.
I love the last line...
ReplyDeletesweet indeed!
Fair warning to us all to remember how fast time slips away. Truer words never spoken.
ReplyDeleteSo so true to bad we so often forget.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThats what we normally foret to do.
