So good your eye problem was caught early. 😊

And so important to be encouraging to others. Good reminder to us all.

Hugs!

An excellent opening line, Duane. Where is it from?

I must confess; I made it up. But, in line with your theme this week, your comment inspires me to write somethings that befits it.

Well, you did a damn good job, my friend. Now you have to write a novel (or short story)!

Bless your heart, Karen. I can really use the extra "eyes" this year!

As I'm writing my own book, I've been looking for great opening lines to get some ideas how to start my book. Your collection has helped a lot. I've seen some good ones in books I have read as well, but most of them were published earlier than this year, so they don't qualify. I'll keep looking!

Thanks for your kind words, John. Keep looking. So far, 2023 hasn't been as fertile as previous years.
