Monday Messages…

I basically copied and pasted last years Monday Message in here, this morning. Why? Because nobody participated last time… and it was a really good idea, that’s why!

I’m serious, guys and gals… come on, pretty please…for me? I think this could be really fun, and let’s face it, I think we all need something bright to focus on right now. Wouldn’t you agree?

So, here goes… when at first you don’t succeed, try try again (or so I’ve heard):

Well… November is well upon us, and I am setting the stage for our upcoming events. I mentioned before that I wanted to do a Virtual Holiday and I am bringing it up again. I am giving everyone until Thanksgiving to come up with a Christmas Wish List for themselves and put it in the comments anywhere on my site, that is, if you wish to participate.

Anyone wishing to participate can simply use their Christmas Day Post to reveal what they got peeps from those lists… your post is yours so you can present your gifts anyway you wish. It is virtual so the sky is the limit! I thought it would be so beautiful to have the Reader covered with gifts and sharing all across WordPress. Be there or Be SQUARE!

Monday Hugs to everybody!!!!!!

Tonight, Pinky, We Shall Take Over the World…

Daily writing prompt
What are you doing this evening?

I loved to watch that cartoon Pinky and the Brain, where the two lab mice or rats (whatever they were) would start their day off with the big dumb one asking the small one the same question from the day before… hey, Brain, what are we doing today? Brain would always answer the same thing, as well… Pinky, today we are going to take over the world!

When I saw the prompt, my mind went straight to that old cartoon… so, that’s my long winded answer for what I’m doing this evening. No, this evening won’t be filled with plans for world domination. I just have no intention of airing my evening activities for all to read!

If we have nothing better to do than to read what others are doing in their personal time, well then, we need to find something to do. If we have nothing better to do than to hand out all our personal business for others to feed off of, well then, we need to stop oversharing so much personal information…

Just sayin…

Here, have a cookie…

Please don’t try eating the mice… they’re not cookies!

Forward Momentum…

I spent yesterday setting up the framework for Volume II of my book series, and today I will be building my storyboard on the computer.

I like to have lots of maps and pictures available, making it easier for the writing of the story, itself… my mojo, if you will.

I want to keep moving forward with the storyline, regardless of how long it takes for the first book to get picked up. My desire is to keep everything connected as smoothly as possible for whomever eventually reads the books.

I’m certainly not boasting that I shall become some writing guru that pops out best selling novels like tic tac’s, or anything. I suppose I simply want to have the most positive attitude towards the future that I can, regardless of circumstances or any future outcome… it just makes things look brighter, that’s all.

Besides, I better use it or loose it, as far as putting words to paper… I’m not getting any younger!

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…

Not Starting Them!

Same Answer, Different Year…

Daily writing prompt
Describe your ideal week.

I’m just going to leave a link for you to visit my answer from last year, if you so choose to read further…

The Sands Of Time… https://wiwohka.blog/2023/09/11/the-sands-of-time/

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…

From Here, They All Have Such Tiny Heads…

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…

Lessons…

The evidence of good fruit

comes not from what the heart endures…

Often, it results from how the heart endures!

Driving Miss Lazy…

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…
