100 Days of Writing – Day Five
Saying No… How easy is it for you to say no? Not very. For much of my life, I have been a people-pleaser and have ended up saying “yes” to what other people have requested before thinking it through.

Random Writing – “The Tube”
The glass tube,,, filled with various components designed to allow one to hear from others around the world. There’s no telling what news has made its way through this electronic feed.
