“Sometimes, life only gives us one chance, and if you don’t grab it, there might not be more where that came from,” writes Barbara in a terrific post called Gone in the skip of a heartbeat. I’ve been following this wonderful blog Home In France for some time, where an intelligent and articulate writer gives us her view of the world from the shadows of the Eiffel Tower.
Our winning post today is an exciting collection of a few very short articles from Metro France called Le courrier du coeur des metronautes ( the love column of the Metro readers) — a p
ublication that is found worldwide in train stations around the globe. They are emails or letters that people have written to someone they noticed that they don’t know how to contact, a sort of cat-and-mouse connection game, often fulled of publicly inappropriate thoughts and desires written by a love-struck passenger or restaurant diner. Intrigue strikes in the strangest places.

Imagine opening the morning paper and reading this: “Everyday at noon , I eat at the Cora cafeteria at Massy.Everyday at noon,you smile at me.Everyday at noon,I smile back at you.….”
This is just one example of the interesting snippets Barbara has highlighted in this fascinating and well-written post. You’ll love this read.
Wouldn’t you like to get a message like this from a stranger? “Your look is intense and it makes my desire grow. You secretly send me smiles, while your husband turns his back. …” Well, maybe you wouldn’t!
Thanks, Barbara from Home In France, for making the world seem just a bit smaller — and warmer — this chilly March morning in America. You have written The Rising Blogger’s Post of The Day.
