You in Six Word Memoirs

You must have heard of  the Six Word Memoirs at Smith Magazine. Well, our lovely Oprah has a take on it in her magazine of February 2012, YOU IN SIX WORDS from her reading public which deserves to be shared.

Surfing life’s ripples, waiting for waves. Might as well eat that cookie. Still fit into high school earrings. Fat. Thin. Fat. Thin. Fat. Thin. I still have time to fix this. Every 20 years I reinvent myself. Abandoned at 5. Learning to thrive. Life gives lemons but no juicer. Was hot. Raised kids. Lost cool. I live my best life now. Survived the divorce. Learned to live. Stage IV cancer, me live. Recipe for failure. Changed my ingredients. Car totaled. Lives spared. Forever grateful. Sorry I’m not married yet, mom. Zen gardener. Can you dig it? I’ve made all the best mistakes. Write mother, sleep. Repeat as needed. Best move ever? I married her. Fired Sherpa but still saw Everest. I refused to be a victim. Falling gracefully. Hoping there’s a mattresss! Loving heart for sale. Like new. The good child – until I wasn’t.  Former doc now wears art smock. Mission accomplished – but will consider reincarnation.
