Yawl Know My Name…

Daily writing prompt
What’s the story behind your nickname?

… so I’ll offer up a little ditty,

for today’s word prompt game…

WordPress wants to know my name

They asked me last year

And it’s still the same…

You can call me Wiwohka

if that name works for you

Even if it doesn’t

it will simply have to do…

I found it one night

while drinking some wine

It fit me just perfect

So I claimed it as mine…

The meaning of Wiwohka

is raging roaring

and rushing water…

If you don’t know by now

I’m simply God’s daughter!

Here, have a cookie…

Thursday Thoughts…

While I would like to suggest that I’m a plain Jane, when it comes to the activities that often fill my mind…

I think my thoughts are a bit more colorful than that!

Let’s just say that there’s a party going on in my head space, right now!

God is blessing me so richly, by walking me through this entire writing journey, directing my path every step of the way!

I spent way too long, looking at my circumstances as a struggle, when I should have been looking at them as my earthly assignment in the service of my Father!

I discovered that when I change my perspective on things, my mind overflows with all of the beauty and wonder that God reveals, each and every day!

I no longer sail the sea in a beat up old dingy, but a fine ship, navigated by an amazing Captain! Where our ship will go, only He knows, but I will faithfully sail with Him, to whatever end…

Walking in Faith…

Wednesday Words…

For anyone that might be interested, Eustace is in the parking lot, ready to do some shopping cart races!

Don’t ask me how Eustace managed to get his neck through the bars of the cart… you’d have to ask the camel!

Just in case you didn’t bring your own, we’ve left some extra carts beside the elevators.

None, This Side of Heaven…

What are your future travel plans?

Honestly, I don’t have any travel plans on the table at the moment. In fact, I haven’t thought much further than a working toilet, or food in the cooler, ever since the shutdown.

Aside from the heaven that I know awaits me, I’m more focused on surviving than I am about fun in the sun on some beach.

Sure, I would like to travel and do all sorts of things, but I’m not putting any energy into daydreaming about things I don’t have, when I can be focusing on that which is being prepared for me, as we speak!

Heaven is where I’m bound, so my travel plans are full up!

Just sayin…

Tuesday Tinkering…

This morning, I found myself playing around with my AI art generator. I’ve been trying to come up with some new babies for the short stories I like to write.

Wanna see em?

You can tell me which ones you like the most!

First up, we have Beulah the baby badger!

Next stop is a little baby Beluga/Dolphin, named Bella Donna!

Then I fell in love with Olivia, the baby river otter!

Just when I thought I was finished, I threw one last idea at my AI tool…

I think that this last one has to be my favorite, by far, but I want your opinions first, before I fully decide what direction to go.

Ladies and Gents, I would like to introduce you to Ozzy Clawzee, the baby Owl/Cat!

I’m not so sure that I’ve seen a baby so cute, for some time!

What do you guys think?

Nuts Please…

Daily writing prompt
What would you change about modern society?

Right when I began reading today’s prompt question, our cheeky little neighbor came calling for his breakfast, so I snapped a quick picture of him.

It occurs to me that we should all take more time each day, intentionally slowing down, and appreciating all the little things… on purpose!

Modern society has become so dependent upon technology and moving ahead, we forget about the joy found in simple things, like feeding a wandering squirrel, just to watch him stuff his cheeks!

Musical Monday…

I thought I would share a song that I heard on Pandora this morning. Sometimes, I hear a song that stays with me for the whole day, often times visiting me within my dreams.

It’s kind of funny how a song will come to your mind, over and over, even causing you to sing it under your breath… whether you were thinking about it or not!

This is one of those songs!

You’re Welcome!

Happy Monday, everyone!

It Depends…

What do you listen to while you work?

I bet this tightrope walker hears a lot of applause!

I don’t think this race car driver can hear anything, anymore.

My husband drove tractor trailers, and I know exactly what sounds he listened to all day, because I was with him. Truckers have potty mouths, mostly, and I don’t wanna talk about the things I heard inside those truck stops.

I’m guessing that farmers and outdoor workers hear all sorts of different things.

While I could do this all day long, I’ll go easy on everybody, mainly because I have work to do. What work is that, you ask? Why, I’m fake baking your morning cookies, and as per the prompt question, I am LISTENING to the pretend cookie timer going off… gotta go get em!

That was fast!

Here, have a cookie…

I upgraded my pretend Easy Bake Oven!

I Can’t Stop Laughing…

I simply have to share this with you! I nearly laughed myself out of my own chair this morning, when I was working with my AI for a picture.

Here is what I typed,

“A very tall man looking down at a turtle, resting beneath the man’s shadow.”

I don’t think I have ever met such a nice looking turtle in all my days… LOL!

My attempt had been to reflect on resting beneath God’s shadow, but somewhere along the lines, things went very wrong!

I’m so glad that God has a good sense of humor, because I can no longer even remember what all I was going to write, now that I have muscly turtle’s in my head… LOL!

Have a laugh on me, and also, enjoy your Sunday, everyone… hugs.
