6-WORD MEMOIR WEDNESDAY

Happy Wednesday! If you haven't visited the Smith Magazine website lately, I encourage you to do so. It's a fun, eye-opening exercise in storytelling brevity. Since it's only fair I write one myself, here goes: I am feeling anything but resilient. I've plucked a dozen six-word memoirs ...
written by a variety of folks over at sixwordmemoirs.com and included them below. Feel free to share your own! (Visit my prior blog posts here, here and here.) To read more about the folks who wrote these wonderful six words below, just click the links.

WE'VE TAKEN SOME WRONG TURNS.

RECALCULATING.

Why yes, I would like sedation.

Learning how, more important than what.

Not the ending. Turn the page.

Never forget how those shoes felt.

Too cloudy to see silver lining.

Sinking lower would require a jackhammer.

I've missed having this much confidence.

Give help to those still climbing.

Hope is never lost,

just misplaced.

Some days the rain drops harder.

Crowded lifeboats have plenty of shoulders.
