My last few posts have been sort of downers, and more than one person has mentioned to me today that they've caught a case of the drearies. So, to spruce up this moody March day, I offer you a wonderful concept: the six-word memoir.

This is such a great and stress-relieving exercise. It forces you to focus on what's important to your philosophy of life and cut out the not-so-important stuff. Here are some of my own:
Face = my mother's; Hands = my own
Loved anything that moved, including myself.
I wish Jesus was a woman.
Sleep before breakfast ...and after.
Writing makes me want to scream.
(I think it's interesting that so many of the above relate to gender in some way...)

Oh, and be sure to check out the latest book from Smith Magazine, on six-word memoirs about love and relationships.
