The Agony of Victory



(what's on my mind today? absolutely nothing)

I have had a few moments of victory in my new career as a greeting card writer. A very nice editor contacted me last week regarding some submissions, giving me some helpful tips and encouraging me to send more ideas. I was very excited!

Only problem is, I seem to be out of ideas now. In fact, my brain is completely empty.

I've been sitting here with my laptop for an hour, trying to write some sweet, thoughtful birthday cards. All I have written is:
"When I think of you ..."

Ack! How should that sentence end??

When I think of you, I can't stop laughing.
When I think of you, the wrinkles don't even enter my mind.
When I think of you, I feel much better about myself.

Not quite right. I think I need to not think so much. Time for a nap.

I feel young.

I can't do sweet either.

Whenever I think of you, joy fills my heart.

And I like humorous birthday greetings, too!^^

We're having an office decorating contest at work! With prizes! So in my usual quirky way, I'm being as competitive as possible. ...
