Share Your World: 2016 – Week 50

Sorry Cee, running late posting my Share Your World answers but here they are. What is your favorite smell? What memory does it remind you of?

Urgency is relative.   When it comes to a 911 call, the person making (or initiating) the call it may seem help cannot come quickly enough.  Possibly nothing would seem as urgent as the situation they are in (and perhaps they are right)….   On the flip side there are such statements as “haste makes … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Urgent →
