Let’s face it! None of us jumps out of bed with bells and whistles on, at least no one that I’m familiar with! My first hour of the day is usually a whole lot of stumbling, mumbling, and groaning. I’m not normally able to bring my brain onboard til after my first cup of coffee.

There you have it folks, hot off the press! She drinks coffee for the first hour of her day! I do have one morning ritual that supersedes all other actions and/or behaviors. When I first rouse from sleep, I lay in the darkness praying for a few moments. While I’m drinking that cup of coffee for the first hour of my day, I am studying within the word of God. Without reading and praying first, the rest of my day seems worthless and dull.

I get to answer this way, because the prompt asked, so sharing about my time with God was not unsolicited.

I’ll still give you a cookie though…

It’s Easter Sunday, so I’ll only be stopping by this daily prompt for a moment. In answer to the question, I believe that choices are what make humans unique! We’re all created by God’s design, to reflect His image, lovingly formed by His very own hands! From there, our choices are what shape us into the person we become.

This bible verse came to mind, when I was looking at the prompt question, so I decided to share! Have a blessed Easter Sunday!

However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him” — but God has revealed it to us by His spirit.

The spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God. We have not received the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. 1 Corinthians 2: 9-13

I think it would be absolutely fantastic if we could come up with a dance move called “The Wiwohka!”

Basically, it’d be the name you can give to people when they question your style of dance. The stranger, the better! Preferably, you can form your style into that of an inebriated surfer, riding the waves of the music, as if you’re being stalked by a great white!

Try it! It’ll be fun for the whole family!

Here, have a boogie cookie…

There’s nothing like a good movie, to get me giggling! Not just any movie will do, as most movies out now-a-days are filled with everyone’s drama, dirty laundry and dark schemes. That’s not funny at all! I have enough crap that goes on around my own life, why would I take pleasure in watching everybody else’s trainwrecks?

I’m talking the oldies but goodies, like Abbot and Costello, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Carol Burnett, Tim Conway and Harvey Corman, and so many others. The never-ending list of pricelessly funny old movies goes on and on. We all have our favorite go-to movies to lift our spirits and bring out the laughter! Those old movies made things funny without doing it at the expense of another’s feelings. Those were the days, before everything seems to offend someone or other, and it was just simply funny!

I long for the days, where one could just laugh at a thing without fear of offending others, or being slapped with a label! Newsflash!!! Sometimes a thing is just funny, because it is! The funny isn’t the problem, it’s what we do with it when we see it, hear it, or read it… not everything has nefarious motives!

Laughter was meant, and has been used for, lifting the spirit and spreading happiness! Whatever makes you laugh from deep within your belly, usually accompanied by a snort or possibly passing gas loudly… it’s gotta be good for us!

Here, have a Friday Fruit Tart…

I almost used the song off that children’s show, Barney, where they repeatedly sing “the list goes on and on my friend.” I decided not to go down that musical rabbit hole, as I’ve work to do this morning. I chose, instead to offer up myself for this lovely prompt inquiry that rolled off the WordPress rolodex.

Before you start thinking this might be a negative, let me assure you that it’s not! It’s an impossibility for a soul to know everything about everybody!

Besides, I don’t want most people to understand me, rather, I would prefer just a few souls that really desire to know the real me… the one beneath the surface.

As there have only been 2 takers on this offer, for many years now, I am a patient person, in this regard. The ones who stand the test of time, weather the storms, and invest the effort, I will greet with open arms. The thing is, my arms are only so long, therefore, any interested parties have to actually draw near enough to participate!

One thing is for sure, I do know that most of the people at WordPress have no clue about how to offer a decent prompt question, nor do they understand the writers to whom they pose these ridiculous questions. Maybe they should assign someone from their corporate office to answer the questions each day, same as us! I bet the questions would change in a hot minute!

Here, eat some cookies, but don’t eat the one in the middle cause it’d be weird …

What a silly question to ask in this day and age! I’ve no intention of wasting my time explaining things that everyone already knows. Besides, what I do isn’t considered a job… it’s my passion, my purpose! A job is something one gets paid to do, in dollars and cents, which is something I’ve never received for any of my efforts. I birthed and raised my children for nothing, served in the church til my fingers bled for nothing, and chased after caring for others needs before my own… for nothing! Technology changing made no difference in any of those categories.

I’ve worked in paid positions, attained a college education, and benefited from technological advancement in both, but we all have, so this prompt question is STUPID! If you know how to use Google then you’re fully aware of how far we’ve come… nuff said!

Here is an advanced cookie…

The goals set before me, rarely encounter interference from a physical obstacle. I live in a 32 foot RV with no brakes, no running hot water or a flushing toilet. In terms of actual contact, I encounter my husband and my Chica, but nobody else, so I don’t often see any reason to say no, about much of anything.

My goals are set by my heavenly father, and I DO NOT say no to Him about anything… regardless! This is my path and my choice!

As I am well versed in things always flying at me, they don’t really seem to interfere with the goals set before me, because my goals face obstacles in a spiritual plane… way different from the physical ones! Again… my choice!

The beauty of it is… those things that interfere with earthly goals are usually where my opportunity to obey God comes fully into play. Since God says that He will bring good out of everything, for His purpose, I think that I’m in the right place… directly within the shadow of the Almighty!

Here, have a cookie…

If I told you, it would no longer be a secret!

Here’s a cookie…

I think all weather has its place and time to be enjoyable, so I don’t have a specific favorite.

Whether its weather for getting sand on your toes…

Or the kind that keeps us indoors…

Sometimes it slows us down long enough to relax…

Sometimes it motivates us take the time to enjoy the life around us…

I simply couldn’t choose a favorite, because all weather can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it… just sayin!

Have a sweet Saturday treat…

Life itself was my most influential teacher! Why? Because it kicked my can around town for so many of my growing up years, that’s why! I’ve yet to meet an actual earth creature that truly influenced me, more than me just trying to navigate a world that has no safety net for the lost ones!

Don’t get me wrong, as there were plenty of people in and around my life to influence me, to an extent. Since most of them were very negative influences, as well as being very unhealthy and/or cruel, I will go as far as to say, they get some of the credit for how I got here… I just don’t think that it’s fair to give them the whole price tag for how I turned out.

God alone is my only true lifelong influence… otherwise, I wouldn’t be here writing this prompt answer today!

With that being said, I’m off to continue my week of self-imposed vacation… ta ta for now…

You didn’t think that I would forget your cookies…

I took a bite out of the one in front, sorry…
