Out-of-the-Box Essays: A Young-at-Heart Writer Explores the Complexities of Everyday Life with Her Out-of-the-Box Light Bulb Thoughts

Why do writers write these short essays?

Are my thoughts, ideas or random bits of observation any better than yours?

Will my words change the world somehow? Will they change or somehow inspire you in some way?

Probably not, but I do believe writers write these "pearls of wisdom" and "gems of observation" because we've been around the block a few times and want to share what we have learned—so you, the reader will have a few laughs, a few "that's exactly right" or "that's exactly what I thought" comments.

And so this is why I want to share my thoughts thunk while thinking with you.
