Staying mad – D.P
I Can’t Stay Mad at You Do you hold grudges or do you believe in forgive and forget? I don't hold grudges and I forgive very soon but I never forget. So yes I can't stay mad at you. Another thought, why am I even doing this prompt after a day?

Sharing something I wrote in 2014.
Okay,I am not just going to talk about a bird but something more important.I mentioned earlier that I like to find out something positive and interesting out of common things.So yes this is one of my post where I tell you about an encounter I had with a fledgling a while ago.

We met first in Stockholm, at a conference that Mankel had largely funded, dedicated to the subject of child literacy – one of his major concerns.

He was drowning in the sea of grief. While she fished in those waters. Does this even make sense? I like it though. Very random post before I sleep. Night! 🙂
