If I Recall…

Daily writing prompt
What major historical events do you remember?

The first thing that came to my mind, trying to remember any Hysterical Events, was when Fabio got hit in the face by a passing bird, while riding a roller coaster in Vegas! That was funny, though I shouldn’t be laughing at another’s expense.

Ummmmm… what else?

ooooh oooooh! I got one, even though it never made the headlines.

When my husband and I first started RVing, we had to learn everything about that lifestyle, right fast and in a hurry! One of the first hurdles was gassing her up… the RV, that is.

I’d parked next to the fuel isle, and began observing my husband park our new home on wheels, in preparation for filling the gas tank. What happened next, was one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen!

I watched my husband step out of the RV and walk toward the fuel pump, only to then watch the RV begin to roll backwards, slowly following him along. He looked up at the RV as it passed him, before realizing it was outpacing him. Turning and running toward the door of the RV, it nearly ran him over as he stumbled frantically inside, just barely reaching the brake peddle before the RV hit the fuel station!

While, in that moment, I hadn’t been laughing, as I was in shock! However, once my brain caught up with my stomach, and realization dawned that the crisis had been averted… I nearly wet my pants laughing, as my husband’s white/red/green colored face reappeared from the RV’s swinging doorway. He took one look at my face through the car window, as I laughed myself silly… and then began to laugh, as well. We laugh about it, to this day!

I know that I’ve written a plethora of stories for everyone, regarding other knee slapping events, deep in the heart of my journey. If you are seriously looking for more hysterical events, my archives are there for your pleasure.

If you were at all wondering, yes, I’m well aware that the prompt asked about Historical Events, not Hysterical ones… I simply can’t come up with anything that wasn’t rather unpleasant to recall. With that in mind, I opted to go with my own goofy twist on things.

Here, have a cookie…

They’re hysterical!

It Exploded!!!

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

Yup! If you guessed that I would risk using a Teleporter Machine, you’d be correct! I would love to be able to push a button and simply materialize wherever I wanted… if it weren’t for the fear of appearing at the other end, only to have been turned inside out or something!

I know, right?! What a gross image to be left with, as you head off to work this morning!

Here, have a cookie…

It’ll help take your mind off it!

My Ship Still Sails…

Daily writing prompt
What are you most proud of in your life?

In the words of Captain Jack Sparrow,

“It’s not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that’s what a ship needs but what a ship is… what the Black Pearl really is… is freedom.”

Now, I bet you’re trying to figure out what on earth I’m talking about, as far as answering the prompt. Lucky for you, I plan on breakin it down for ya! As Castle says, “It’s what I do!”

If we assume that my ship is a metaphor for my heart, or spirit if you want to call it, then the quote might look something like this:

It’s not just flesh, blood and oxygen that sustains this vessel, that’s what the human body needs but what a heart is… what Wiwohka’s heart is really filled with… is freedom!

Now it should make more sense to everyone reading this blog response. I’m proud to say that I’m still alive and breathing, singing His praises, sailing in freedom through life’s many storms, and dangers!

Hmmmmm, Tough Question…

Daily writing prompt
What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I’m being fully honest when I say that I’ve probably told far more about myself on this blog, than most were prepared to read… one of my common self-titles is “the oversharer!”

When I saw this morning’s prompt question, I knew that I’d answered it last year, but I thought it would be fun to tell everyone something new. That is, until I tried thinking of a thing to share.

I’ve hit a wall here, my friends, as I can’t think of anything that I’m willing to offer up. Why, you might ask? Because my transparency stops at the place that holds the things of my deepest hurts and scars. I stopped voicing the things that did not produce goodness, love and God’s healing light.

If you would like to know anything about me that is worthy of sharing with others, I’ve re-opened my archive’s page on this site. Within those dusty old writings is who I Really am, though God is forever molding and reshaping me into that which He sees as beautiful. The place to catch glimpses of that part of me, would be the WordPress Daily Prompt response’s that you currently receive a lot of cookies from… Miss Moody Maelstrom, some might call me!

Oh, while we’re on the subject of cookies, enjoy…

Don’t Confuse Me…

Daily writing prompt
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

This is rather confusing to my brain, first being told that it IS a lazy day… and then asking if one feels restful OR unproductive?

I wanna ask Google…

According to Oxford, the definition of lazy is “unwilling to work or use energy.” The example given was, “he was too lazy to cook”, so there’s that!

I suspect that if we go with the ACTUAL definition here, won’t we feel both rested AND unproductive? And, shouldn’t that be what we are aiming for?

Just askin…

Anyway, if you read my regular post this morning, you would already know that my brain is visiting a Nothing Box, today. I borrowed my husband’s box, since he doesn’t use it while he’s busy studying.

And yes, you could call today a LAZY day, so I have every intention of feeling both rested… AND unproductive!

Here, grab a cookie before you go. You didn’t think I would forget that? Not even on a lazy day…

Was He Just a Man?

Daily writing prompt
When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

In such a short time upon this earth, He healed, saved, resurrected, taught, and ended it with the sacrifice of his own life to make a way for so many, to this very day!

Whether or not one believes Him to be a mere man… when I think of the word “successful,” I think of Jesus, the son of a carpenter… and yet, so so much more!

Why? Because He showed me… from the moment of his birth, all the way through history itself… to save ME!

Here, my sweet friends, have some cookies…

Too Funny…

Daily writing prompt
What makes a good neighbor?

When I saw the prompt this morning, my first thought was “I got this!”

Just for giggles, I did a quick looksee into my archives for last year’s answer. For some reason, I couldn’t remember what I’d written.

Imagine my surprise, and the forthcoming guffaw that I made towards myself for not remembering!

I’m actually glad that I checked, because the answer I was about to give this morning… was the very answer I gave last year.

Guess what the Title of the response was?

I Got This One… That’s too funny!

Dunno why, but smores sounded really good this morning, so enjoy…

Oh Honey… I Got a List!

Daily writing prompt
What could you try for the first time?

While I’m not an adrenaline junkie sort of adventurer, I’ve had list after list of ideas to be tried for the first time! It began when I was a tiny girl, forever dreaming of things I wanted to do when I grew up.

Remember my Easy Bake Oven? I wanted to be a baker from the moment I melted my first pile of cookie dough under a hot lightbulb.

I was forever trying to rescue injured or stray animals, so I then wanted to be an animal doctor/national geographic reporter/animal whisperer! Seriously! I used to dream about finding a baby chimpanzee on the side of the road, somehow miraculously raising and returning it to the jungles… that was one of my favorite daydreams. I knew I wanted to be a mommy from the first battery operated cry that erupted out of the new baby doll I was given. I ventured out to every single boring yard sale and/or thrift store trip my mother visited, looking for each and every baby item possible. My babies had it all, from the blankets and clothes to the bottles, pacifiers, strollers, diaper bags, fake food, etc. I think you get the picture… I’m what one calls a Lister!

I was writing lists from the time I learned to spell, keeping them safely hidden beneath my mattress, away from spying eyes.

Over the years I’ve trained horses, bred and raised everything from birds to dogs, traveled to distant countries, bore three children, traveled with my husband in a Semi across the whole of America, lived in an RV for four years, ran a full scale lady’s hair salon in the big city, ran my own nail salon for five years, walked in 5 different full marathons, and been a model… who knew?!

Why, just last year I decided to write a book, and am now preparing to begin my third, so that’s certainly a joyful win win… as far as trying something new goes.

If you’re thinking I’m bragging about things, let me remind you that my life is far from a Hollywood success story… and in none of my endeavors did I say that I was fantastic at any of them. I only want you to see what I mean when I say I am known as what is called a Lister… love lists, love trying new things, love writing everything down. While some might say that I have a problem… I just think I’m a big kid at heart!

Currently, I’m sitting with a list of three things that I want to try. I want to do theatre, sing at Karaoke, and try stand-up comedy… just once! Way out of my comfort zone, but a girls gotta dream…

Have a cookie…

What principles define how you live?

I highly doubt that I could write anything surprising to most, regarding what principles define my life, or more aptly put… Whose principles!

With that being said, I most certainly have cookies for just such a prompt response…
