What an odd question to see first thing in the morning. I haven’t even had my first cup of coffee, yet!
Sorry, but I don’t have any snappy come backs for the prompts this morning and quite honestly, I’ve better things to do. Before I even think of starting my day, I plan to head to the river for my morning walk.
The problem with this prompt question is that it is worthless if no one wants to know me, personally. My point is that there has to be someone there for me to describe myself to, which is far from easy!
I wasted a great amount of effort trying to put myself out there for others, with devastating results that left lasting scars. Now I’ve become the tender of those scars, allowing God to heal all the damage done. As they say, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink” or “Do not cast pearls before swine!” If you’re not a pig, you’ve nothing to be offended by.
Call it a matter of principle that I will not openly answer the prompt question, this morning. Putting the effort into describing myself to an autogenerated rolodex question, just seems stupid!
If any of the folks who read what comes off my feed wish to know me better, all they need do is ask… that’s just the kind of girl I am!
I’m done chasing after love and acceptance… God holds my heart, so I’m full up in that regard.
However, it would be nice if other humans tried to see me, with even a thimble full amount of what God sees…
You want to know me better… maybe you should try a little harder!
I am envisioning myself as a guest on the Oprah Winfrey show. We’re all given a big gift like a car, for instance, but none of us can pay the taxes owed on it!
Since the prompt only asked where I would go if I got the free tickets, I feel pretty ripped off, personally! It wouldn’t matter where the plane flew me for free, if I had no money for accommodations, meals and rental cars.
Regardless of where my plane landed, I’d be sleeping on the ground somewhere, eating food that either had to be scavenged, or killed with my bare hands.
With that in mind, this question seems frivolous and less than well thought out! I just don’t feel like wasting my time, that’s all… sorry, everyone.
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!
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!
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!
I have been known to bake some rather yummy sour dough loaves, than I then pull out all the insides, turning them into edible bread bowl!
From there, it’s whatever the mood requires for comfort.
Sometimes, it’s some really thick and creamy Clam Chowder, with big chunks of potatoes and clams!
Other times, I feel the need for a little bit of my mamma’s homemade Chili… not too spicy, with a little sweet! Mmmmmm Mmmmmmmm!
There are those occasions, however, when it’s very cold and stormy outside, and I need some deep comfort, I’ll whip up pot of Broccoli Cheddar.
Remember all the guts of the bread loaves that I scooped out?
Well, I spread them on a cookie sheet, sprinkle some garlic salt, and other spices all over them, finally placing them in the oven to crisp. That is what makes all the soups comforting, if you want the truth!
Today, I’ve selected a cookie that always goes with the above mentioned comfort soups.
My famous Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip cookies!
If I told you what I make them with, you would need to enter a witness protection program. They’re that good!
