None of Your Beeswax…

Daily writing prompt
Do you vote in political elections?

Nice try, but this particular question is none of anyone’s business, in my opinion!

Under no circumstances do I wish to ever talk politics… with anyone! It’s a slippery slope, at best!

We live in a day that everyone is able to have their own beliefs, but everyone is also allowed to be offended by anyone that does not agree with them.

No Thank You!

Having a Purpose…

Daily writing prompt
What gives you direction in life?

With all of life’s busy traffic out there, one must find purpose to fuel their journey through, toward their intended destination.

Everyone wants to find purpose for their life, a reason for their existence! How else do we intend navigating through all the hustle and bustle of the world around us?

We seek love for acceptance, knowledge for better understanding, and a purpose for getting to the end of each’s lifetime. No amount of love and understanding will enable us to keep going, without having a purpose for getting to wherever we are attempting to go. In a world that is as big as ours is, there are many different directions one can go, so having a purpose will aid in directing ones path.

Some are led toward science, education, and higher learning… while others find their purpose in the arts. There’s music, poetry, children, animal and/or environmental conservation, and so many others that one finds it difficult to list them all.

For this reason, I’ll answer this prompt question with a single word… PURPOSE! It is a globally shared word, leaving us all to determine what our own purpose might be.

What’s my purpose, you may be asking yourselves? My purpose is to strive for living a Christ Centered Life, following that very narrow path that is leading me home, to that which is being prepared for me, even as I write this! My purpose is to live, speak, and write about what God has done for me, as well as, what He can do for any who choose to follow Him!

Here, have a cookie, though I wouldn’t suggest looking for any of those streets, as I’ve no idea what direction they’ll take you…

Just One?

Daily writing prompt
Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

I can’t say that there is only one quote I live my life by, as I live my life by an entirely different mindset. If I were to live my life by nothing more than a single persons words, it would be the words of God.

If you stick around me for any length of time, you’ll hear me reciting words from scripture, a great deal more than a single specific quote!

If I’m to chose only one isolated quote, it would have to be when Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Matthew 16:24

I Can’t Play Favorites…

Daily writing prompt
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

For me, it’s an impossibility! I simply can’t choose a favorite holiday, as each differing seasonal, cultural, or religious celebration has it’s own unique beauty to be experienced!

I love Christmas for it’s own meaning, along with Thanksgiving, Easter, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and on and on! I simply don’t wish to put one above the other for appreciation and/or value.

There you have it, hot off the press, as so many inquiring minds want to know… I like em all!

Have I Ever?!?!

Daily writing prompt
Have you ever been camping?

I’ve camped so much over my life that it is simply easier to show you…

Even now, I camp every single day inside our RV! We’ve been doing this for over 3 years now, so this is the longest camping trip to date!

Sleeping…

Daily writing prompt
When do you feel most productive?

During our waking hours each day, everyone will have an answer to the many differing things that bring them a sense of productivity, but what becomes of all those wonderful accomplishments, if one is exhausted from lack of sleep?

If I have had a full night of restful sleep, when I approach the following days tasks and responsibilities, I feel on top of the world! But, if I’ve struggled with any manner of disruptions to that period of rest, I’m left feeling tired, irritable, and short on patience for any of what the day offers.

So there you have it, my answer to the prompt is sleep… that is if you were hanging on my every word with rapt attention. If not,

Really?

Daily writing prompt
What are your favorite emojis?

No, this isn’t necessarily a favorite emoji, but it sure does fit the way I feel about this prompt question. Are we four?!?!

As much as I love you all, I could not give a flying hoot about what anyone’s favorite emoji might be, for crying out loud! Why on earth would any of us find this a useful question? Unless you are a middle school teacher, using this as a get to know each other sort of question, it seems out of place. Personally, I feel as if by answering the prompt, I’ve just somehow dumbed myself down!

It’s Saturday and I’ve got things to do that will be a great deal more satisfying than picking out an emoji of a pile of poo, which was about the only thing I was tempted to post in here… sorry, not sorry!

I’ve pretty much decided that from here on out, I’m just going to ask myself a daily question to answer, each time the prompt offers us such Bantha Fodder…

I Got This!!!

Daily writing prompt
What topics do you like to discuss?

Todays prompt question is so so easy to answer! If you’re wondering at all, about what topics I like to discuss, just look on the screen when you read my blog!

Just before I saw this daily prompt, I was finishing up my daily post for this site, and I had to check that list down on the right hand side to select tags for publishing. Now I know exactly what to put down as my answer to the question, as today is Friday and I don’t feel like thinking hard anymore!

In the exact order from my draft board,

babies, cats, dogs, funny, Godly, Gratitude, healing, Inspirational, Nature, Poetry, puppies, and Spiritual.

Ta Da!!!!

Is This the Twilight Zone???

Daily writing prompt
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

Please tell me that I’m not the only one to have noticed our return, once again, to the question of risk! Just in case it doesn’t seem to make sense, the picture I’ve used for todays prompt question, should represent going in a circle over and over again.

Quite honestly, I’m kind of sick and tired of trying to fish out a past, present, or future version of some sort of risk that I may or may not have either succeeded or failed at… for Pete’s sake, come on!

We all take risks every day, in whatever we choose to do! I, personally am a writer, so it goes without saying that I risk myself each and every day, publishing a post that the entire world might read, with a simple point and click feature, offered on their computers.

Parenthood is risky, so is a college education, and the list goes on and on. I’m a bit confounded that we’re asked to keep at it, in the department of answering a prompt about risk. Did they not read our answers to the other prompts? I think that’s probably where the answer lies; too many clicks without actually reading the content! Autogenerated anything has its drawbacks, and this one in particular, has no one actually looking at what the machine is doing, I think.

If you’re not going to read my answer, prompt machine, I’m not bothering to give it to you!

For everyone stopping by to see what I’ve written, I will leave some cookies, and a very big I LOVE YOU to all my WordPress family…
