Anyway, here's the word of the day for Friday. When I wake up in about 10 hours or so, I'll have the one for today...Saturday.

Passing the Daily Challenge Torch...

[thatwasjustadream]

No words for me Friday, but this has been a very demanding week for me and for my whole family. The good news is that today I got up and did a run, got some outdoor time, and will be able to make some space for writing today and tomorrow. Feels great to have that bit of freedom after so many demands. :)

So I'll pass the challenge to you,  simplyn2deep!!  I hope the muses are with you.
