Greener Grass?
Saturday Centus
You have to say that Jenny Matlock is determined to keep us on our toes! This week’s Centus has been suggested by Clearspace, a regular contributor to this creative writing meme. We had to select a horoscope, then write about the actual day! As usual we only had 100 words!

The Horoscope
Saturday, Nov 27th, 2010 — It might seem as if others are having more fun than you are today, but this could be an illusion. Your current social situation is very different if you can look at it from another point of view. Instead of comparing yourself to anyone else, decide exactly what you want to do now based on what would make you happy. Then, take a few small yet determined steps to set you off in the right direction
The Day
Why is it that thin people seem to have so much fun? She’s always been like a stick. She does run regularly. Strange!
She had branched out & was now successful. I could have done that. I have the same skills. No I have better skills. It’s about people after all. That was her Achilles heel.
‘What? They are cutting down? So, you won’t have a job?’
Well, what a surprise!
Sunday was always ‘Look at the diary’ day. Umm – next week is busy.
Coffee with friends Tues & Thurs. Business meeting Mon & that conference Weds. Yes – busy!

Now pop over to ‘Off on my tangent’ to see other entries!
There is a line in a song that goes, “No-one every knows the heart of anyone else.”
I think that’s true of other peoples lives.
Whenever I run into someone really rude I try to make up a back story to explain it. Maybe they are just not a nice person, but maybe they are living the life of a country song and I should cut them some slack.
Thanks for this thoughtful link to SC.
It was really an excellent use of a difficult prompt.
That horoscope you found is good advice!
=)
Such a creative post!
I am Aries. I wrote ripples depicting that!
LOL! I used to envy others their fun-filled lifestyles until I put things in better perspective. Now I am the “King of All Things Mediocre About Life.” Yup. I couldn’t be happier if I was having a root canal.
I took away my first attempt at this, in case you tried to visit my post and found that it was not accessable. But it’s working now. I have finally finished writing a Centus for week 30.
Best wishes,
Anna

The grass is never greener on the other side and the ooner we learn this the better
Many thanks!
“…decide exactly what you want to do now based on what would make you happy.” That is the best horoscope advice I ever heard. We should all heed it. Great post……….cj
I haven’t participated in the centus in a few weeks. I kind of miss it, just don’t feel it. You did great with this weeks!
They have been tricky I admit. Didn’t do last weeks as I didn’t understand the prompt.
Thanks for popping in Terra!
Just goes to show that one can’t always get by on luck! Eventually, it catches up! I enjoyed your story!
Glad you liked it & you’re right – luck can come in different colours!
On the outside looking in – things aren’t always what they seem. Have a great week!
Many thanks for your good wishes Faith!
Good choice for your Centus post! Sometimes things are not always as they seem. Liked this very much. Kat
Many thanks Kat. Great to see you here!
Great way to make a point.
Many thanks & thank you for stopping by!
Wow, looks like this person learned a lot from their horoscope. Good job. Loved it.
Thank you!
Guess there’s some good advice in a horoscope every once in a while. Liked your story. Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2010/11/27/saturday-centus-horoscope/
I like horoscopes when they say it’s going to be good day! 😉
Thank you for visiting!
The grass is NOT always greener, is it?
Absolutely not but often we don’t know that until we’ve climbed over the fence!
I so relate…always too busy. Let’s make a pact: let’s get off our duffs and just do it, okay?!
Done!
So, we must be content with the way our on lives run and not compare ours to theirs? Hummmm~Ames
Tricky that isn’t it?!
