Six Word Memoirs

' A tell-tale sign, you don't know where to draw the line' - Keane, Nothing in my Way

This is so cool. What would your six word memoir be?

In my current phase my memoir is:

'Geographically re-situated, essentially nothing has changed.'
or
'Two marriages. Three children. Four countries.'
or
'Trying to re-write life at 34.'
Get over the comments hurdle and leave me a comment with your six word memoir. I know I have more than 30 regular readers, there has to be a comment in one of you, somewhere.

Go on, do it.

Or my next memoir may be:

'No blog comments, ended it all'*.
*Tongue firmly in cheek.

I am really bad at this kind of thing , but here goes anyway.

1. California, Germany, husband , children, Netherlands, Germany?
2. Reader, performer, travler, mother, wife, woman.
3. Too old for babies, still ovulating.

I think I might try a few more- just for me.

Life; a bitch; dealing with it.
Tears; flows readily and very salty.
Laughter; hurts my cheeks and belly.
Love; warms my heart and soul.

Fleeting moment. I want it back.
Arms hurt. Is it carpel tunnel?
Loved once. Wasn't meant to be.
Overachiever. End up being disappointed.

Awesomely done. I had fun doing mine, too, and had to draw the line somewhere or my post of six word lines would have run off the page!

Tell me what you want me to know.
