guess thats why we shouldn't give our hopes up.
But then, that anticipation is funny, you go through the "definitely" to the "theres no way." But we all do it! over and over again.

Made me think, enjoyed.

It does happen that way sometimes, and it is NOT fun.
Few words expressed well my friend.

Never seen a feeling/situation expressed so well in such few words. Kudos to you.

But that one acceptance one in a while makes it all worthwhile. Thanks folks. Joyce

Ain't that the truth!?! But perseverance pays off--and when it does, it is very rewarding. Dr. Zues's first manuscript was rejected 28 times and Ernest Hemmingway had to self-publish "The Old Man In The Sea" before a publishing house took it on, and the rest is history!

I congratulate you on the recent acceptance of one of your poems in the magazine, "The Christian Guide"!

Warm hugs and valentine wishes,
EA
