As he paid out, Gimpy asked the cashier, “Who can I get to take me to Casadora Island?”

She smiled, “Casadora, oh, that would be Pele. He’s at the marina.
He thanked her and left to find him. The sun seemed to renew his spirits, and the gentle breeze lifted his soul. #CleanWip
Ellie’s green eyes gazed pensively somewhere just off to June’s left. Even her long gray curls looked melancholy.

In yesterday’s article, I mentioned how I started writing as I quit smoking gradually. Since my first paragraph that was later included in my debut contains today’s theme, I decided to share it. Other than my enthusiasm about removing some ashtrays from my home, I don’t know why I wrote this paragraph on a jagged scrap of paper and then jogged a quarter of a mile in less than five minutes and performed three chin-ups from a dogwood tree in my yard. Here is the first paragraph of my career as an author. Laugh if you want, but I wrote it with passion.
I have been smoking mostly outside for a while now. Sometime during the day today, I removed all but three ashtrays from my home. I washed eight ashtrays outside under a water hose and left them in the shed for my next yard sale!
