Word of the Week: ponder

 

Kelly pondered how different her life would be if she were drawing for a room full of children instead of a bunch of over leveraged execs. ~ 138

 

Despair reigned; everyone was fixated on the downward trending graph. Steven wondered how much his old silver dollars were really worth. ~ 136

 

Bill watched Kelly sketch the demise of all his dreams and wished he’d had the guts to tell her how he felt when the profits were high. ~ 135

    A three-fer! And all well done. I enjoyed each one, but I think the first is my fave. :)

    All three takes are excellent! It’s definitely hard to concentrate on business when one’s mind is in wandering mode…:)

    All three of these are great, filled with poignancy and sadness and “What ifs.”

    All three are good, but I like the third one best.

    You’re just bursting with mf’s this week. Number One was my favorite. I think she should throw down her marker and run!
