It was a short story per the instructions, but it was loaded with information. I appreciate honesty when I read stories about people. I think everyone has their own trials and tribulations, the good and the bad; but it is what we learn from it all and what we do with our life that counts. In your case, regardless of what has happened, you look for smiles and that is great.

Comment from Bill Schott
This one-hundred-fifty-word story of your life, My Life in a Nutshell, puts a lot into the little space. Smart to eliminate the subject in most sentences to fit in more stuff.

Thanks Bill. I still need to learn how to write. You all are my teachers.
Comment from Debbie Pope
I love your life story and you tell it so well. I like how you structure your sentences for this short story--they run together, like the days, months of your life. I like that you said that you had "had enough." You manage to include so much emotion into these 150 words. I am impressed. You are a great story teller. Glad that you found your gift.

A poet often needs to keep to himself to keep writing. Thanks for sharing this your interesting life story from your TX beginnings to some challenging childhood events. Sorry about that brutal accident but you overcame and even went to get your degree. Congratulations!!

Your life has and is quite interesting. I commend you for pursuing college degrees. This is a well written autobiography that draws the reader in and holds her there. I am glad you married a wonderful woman.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
When you write a short account of your life it seems to be gone in a flash and you think it is insignificant, but we are all so important to the structure of life and we all leave our footprint behind and without us there would be no history. You are one of life's survivors and keeping your own counsel and keeping out of trouble is pretty much how I feel too, good luck with the writing prompt, you have worked hard through life and can look back with pride, love Dolly x

Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
This is a well written "Your Life in 150 words writing prompt entry that reminisces the life of a man of courage and fortitude.
The work highlights the protagonist's humble early days in life, his exploits as a farmer, early school life, mobility from one job to the other and his culmination as a poet and a three associate degree holder at the age of 58.
Excellent work! Keep the flag flying!
