Field of Schemes…

Daily writing prompt
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

Promises Promises

Have I got a deal for you

It’s a guarantee

I’m doing this for you

I swear it

You deserve it

All I need from you is

If you do this, then I’ll

It’ll be just between us

Anytime there is an overly happy, too good to be true sort of person, acquaintance, sales person or what not… the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!

I’ll tell you why…

Because, promises are not always promises, not all deals are all that good, there are no guarantees, most people who tell you it’s for your good are about to hurt your feelings, anyone can swear nowadays, no one truly knows who deserves what, there is always a catch or something in it for the one offering… and, it is never, ever, ever just between you and them!

I know, I know… pretty brutal and straight up, right?!

I’m pretty sure everyone has met at least one person like this in their lifetime. Maybe not all of the above in just one person, but it is a self-centered personality trait that I find rather irritating, destructive, and dangerous… I avoid this personality like the plague!

I’ll make it clear here that I’ve no specific person to point fingers at, since the trait can be found in any sort of type… if they let it!

Here, have a cookie…

Monday Musings…

Don’t reach out for love

Only to burn the hand you grasp

True forgiveness is about putting out fires…

I might ask you to click on a re-run of my prompt response, but I wouldn’t think of offering you cookies from a year ago… ewwww!

Serene Sunday…

I find that I am in need of some extra time in the word, today. I shall continue on my way through the Psalms, with a heavy splash of the book of Matthew… mmmmm…. perfect!

God Bless each and everyone of you, my friends!

Oh, and help yourselves to a muffin before you leave…

Daily writing prompt
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

Since I don’t personally know any professional athletes, this prompt question is impossible to truthfully answer… sorry.

Respect is something earned, and I don’t see how I might accurately form an opinion about anyone I don’t really know.

Not only that… I most certainly would not make my assessment based off of anything that has been in the media. I say this because for the most part, it’s no longer about what the truth is… just who published the juicy information first!

Maybe I’d feel differently if I were a die hard sports fan, or something… but it’s obvious that I’m not.

I do love cookies though…

The evidence of good fruit

Often, it results from how the heart endures!

Daily writing prompt
How do you relax?

When I read the prompt question this morning, I got all excited as I thought to myself… What a perfect question to answer!

Just yesterday, my friend and I drove over the mountain pass that’s not too far away from where we live. Though I was only a passenger and carpool buddy for my Chica, the view was spectacular and the company was even better! Stick two girls in a car together with snacks, a radio, and a peaceful drive… it has a sort of Willy Wonka Factory effect, if you get my meaning.

I’m so relaxed right now, I can’t even really describe it!

I’m just looking at the evidence! What does the evidence say, you might be asking?

Why, I’d love to answer… thank you for asking!

The evidence shows that I slept like a baby last night. Not only that, but I spent most of my morning just sitting in front of the computer, drinking coffee with my better half…

So I’m feeling pretty amazing, right now!

One might say this resembles relaxing, but I’m no expert.

For today’s prompt question, I’m gonna roll the dice here and say,

“A good scenic drive is the way to let off some steam… but only if you bring a friend, and can see lots of forests and streams!”

Here, I brought back some cookies for you…

I Love This Land!

Yesterday had to be one of the most wonderful excursions I’ve had for some time!

It was absolutely breathtaking!

We had perfect weather, a banging A/C, good tunes, and the whole day to adventure. Of course my friend was working, being that she had to supply all her peeps with work tools and parts… but once that was done, we were all clear to enjoy our meander home.

What one might have considered a catastrophe to their FunVee activities, we hit a detour half-way home and were diverted onto a highway we’d never been on. Turns out… there’s still beautifully preserved nature pockets in them there hills!

We saw lakes, rivers and marshy ponds that were free of any human marshmallows dotting their beaches.

All in all, after a 10 hour drive day, we felt like we’d been gifted a very special and private tour of God’s Glorious Country!

Enjoy the pic’s!

Thursday Thoughts…

I’m playing Carpool Buddy for my Chica today. 

We’ll be driving over the mountain pass, which should be a spectacular view! 

The sun is out, and there’s a soft breeze blowing through the trees, so the weather will be just right.

I’ll snap some pictures that I can post for you in the morning.

Have a beautiful Thursday, everyone 😘

Words…

I’m working from my tablet this morning, and I couldn’t get the prompt box to come up, so this post is the DYI version… Wiwohka style!

I talk and write far too much to pick a word not to use anymore. 

I thought I would make it easy for us all by letting Maya Angelo answer the prompt today,

You’re welcome

Have a cookie…

it’s a mouthful!
