The First Day
Christina Rossetti
I wish I could remember the first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me;
If bright or dim the season it might be;
Summer or winter for aught I can say.
So, unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was i to see and to forsee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom, yet, for many a May.
If only I could recollect it! Such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow.
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much!
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand! – Did one but know!

Where are your calories coming from? It matters what type of food your calories come from. For example, a candy bar of 200 calories is not the same as eating 200 calories worth of cooked brown rice or a yogurt topped with fruits and nuts. There’s more to food than calories. Think about all the things that a particular food brings to the table, like vitamins, minerals and fiber to name a few.

Tension. It can spellbind your readers and leave them breathless, on the edge of their seats and biting their nails in anticipation for what will happen next. And, without it, your story will feel as lifeless and limp as a pricked balloon. The most effective way to elicit an emotional response in your reader is through tension.
What do you want to be when you grow up? We often ask this question of children. I still ask this question of myself. When I look back over my answers to that question I see how I have changed. I am open to learning, growing, and evolving. I think I’ll take a break and think about what I want to be when I grow up. How about you?
