RE: The Freewrite House Literary Talent Award - Spanish/English - April Reminder
My entry for Day 551: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: I'm blessed took far longer than 5 minutes, as usual. Formatting alone takes me half the morning. I'm starting to get the hang of <center followed by </center but as with left and right justify, the text often goes fubar. </div sometimes works, usually doesn't. And yes, I know about the other < mark, but if I use it here, the comment gets coded and I cannot override it. *sigh
In case it wasn't obvious (I learned how to hyperlink early in the game!!), here it is again:

I already told you how much I love this, but it doesn't hurt to say so again! xo
Dear @carolkean, I would like to give you a hug before beginning my very brief comment and another at the end. A lot of emotions that were stirred inside me as I read your post... And how kind the feeling of gratitude for the life that invaded me at the end of the reading.
You carry your writing in such an efficient way: the old school building about to disappear, finely entwined with the memory of your own place in its memories (decentralized, but loved and deeply conserved in the blessing of your own life), the (inevitable) tragedy linked to its existence and, finally, the return to the present with a look that knows how to smile at the future. Special mention should be made of your mother's portrait, so well done in a few strokes.
Actually, each episode related has a real weight, which can be felt and felt.
It is a blessed text that conveys the feeling of blessing.
I embrace you! Thank you, dear @carolkean!
{{{ Hugs to you too! }}} THANK YOU for reading and commenting with such kindness and sensitivity! You're a treasure.
Thanks to your comment, I checked out your posts, and wow, you are a kindred spirit, and a fantastic writer and illustrator, and how did I fail to discover you all this time? Mea culpa! Maybe it was the Spanish/English gap? Glad to have met you at last! So glad, I even blogged about it:

Dear @carolkean, you're adorable. I'm really touched by your enthusiasm for my work and I'm proud that a good writer like you has taken so much work with my blog.
I especially appreciate your recommendation to publish Chico Rata. It is a stimulus that adds to a desire that I have a time caressing with my daughter, who is a very young girl designer and a very talented illustrator.
I would also like to write about you, because I like your writing very much. You have that gift of being authentic and linking your stories and reflections as you elevate them to the territory where fictions are made and where our lives border on it. I know it sounds like gibberish, but it's as close as I can get to the feeling your writings give me. In addition, there is that spark of humour, of a smile in the background, a wink...
This is Steemit's magic, finding talented and warm people like you.
We will continue reading our texts and speaking, for sure.
In my country these days are extremely tense and dangerous, but I will find the time to keep in touch.
Thank you again. A big hug!
It is such a lovely piece. Thank you for entering it!!
Thank you so much - and it's a long read, so I especially appreciate anyone taking time to slog through all my words. :)
You funny goose - Your words are beautiful and a pleasure to read!!
