Sometimes…

Daily writing prompt
Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

Sometimes…

Sometimes, it’s the way he looks at me and smiles.

Then there are times where he doesn’t even have to smile or anything… I can see it in his eyes.

Sometimes, it’s the way he laughs at the silly things I say.

But there are still those moments when things aren’t so funny… he won’t laugh or say anything at all, really. He just rests his shoulder against mine to let me know that he’s there.

Sometimes, it’s the little things he does… like bringing me that first cup of coffee in the morning, or surprising me with my favorite candy bar. It’s not even about receiving a gift, it’s about the planning or forethought, if you will. It makes me feel so loved that he was thinking about me, even when I wasn’t with him. You know, sometimes I’ll wake up from the sensation of him tucking a strand of my hair behind my ear… he’d been lying there watching me, as I slept. Isn’t that so adorable!

I could go on and on about all the sometimes that I have felt loved… and these examples are about my husband. I haven’t even gotten to God, yet! If I could share with you all the times that I have felt God’s love, it would fill a book… oh yeah, I already did that!

Let’s just leave it at this:

With enough examples gathered together, one might say that I always feel loved! But, since it was very hard to pick just one time to tell you about, I opted for a handful of my sometimes.

Don’t forget your cookie…

The pink one…

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite animal?

I don’t have a favorite… but I love strawberry or lemon. Perhaps the flavor in the little pink animal cookies comes close to ticking both boxes… I dunno!

I don’t actually have a favorite real life animal, in case you wondered whether or not I fully understood the daily prompt question. I understood it, but there’s just too many choices within the animal kingdom… I don’t wish to pick just one!

Here, have a cookie…

I know they’re not frosted, but their still pretty good.

Simple Travel Plans…

Daily writing prompt
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Live life to the fullest… but keep your bags packed!

Some days, I pray He bring me home right then and there…

Other days, I desire to be standing there on the day He comes riding in on the clouds … what a glorious sight to behold, I say!

Either way, I shall walk each day with purpose, faith and love for others, as if we’ve years yet to go. When He calls to me… I will hear and respond, leaving everything of this world behind!

I know where my home is… where my hope is… the timing of my life span is not something I need to concern myself with.

Start Answering Better Prompts…

Daily writing prompt
What could you do differently?

I could say I’m sorry for what I’m about to say regarding the prompts… but I’m not gonna… and YES, I said gonna!

As a rule, I make an honest effort to come at the daily prompt with a positive attitude, for the sake of the community. We all know that they do not have a prompt department anymore, and haven’t for the last two years… that’s why the prompts just keep repeating themselves, like a rolodex.

The problem I have with the prompt is this: if you’re not going to have a department to support a certain product or feature… shut it down!

I find it incredibly irritating that WordPress still uses the prompt system, if it’s only meant for new users. If it isn’t there for my use, the long term paying customer, then get it off my screen!

The reason I’ve been answering and faithfully re-answering the silly questions is to reach out and be a part of the community. What I’ve discovered, however, is that I’ve amassed over 1300 subscribers, of which, maybe only about 20 regular folks stick around for more than a day or two.

From now on, if the prompt doesn’t blow air up my skirt, all you guys are gonna get is a cookie!

Just be grateful that I AM actually always here, and my cookies are fresh and not re-cycled or half-eaten…

Watch the road…

Daily writing prompt
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

I’d prefer it if we all just tried to focus on driving our big metal boxes with wheels… NO rubbernecking!

The Overthinker…

Daily writing prompt
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why?

Well, I am the founding mother of Overthinkers Anonymous, so……

Cookie?

RBU…

Daily writing prompt
What colleges have you attended?

While I’ve actually gotten a college education, there won’t be any listing of my personal information here, so I apologize if that’s what you were expecting to find in this prompt response.

What I will leave you with is the name of the university that I’ve attended all my life, but have yet to graduate… RBU or Reality Bites University! I am proud to say that I am one of the leading members of our Phi Beta Kappa chapter.

Here, have an educated cookie…
