This year has been filled with many challenges. This caused me to put one of the things I love the most on the back burner. Yesterday when I saw a “post a day” challenge, I decided it was time to get back on track. So, I am resolving (in November) to do a better job […]

As I sit here in the cool breeze, with clear blue skies, and birds flying overhead you would think I am the picture of tranquility. Deep inside, in my spirit-woman, I am. I have that profound sense of peace that passes all understanding. I know I live in a fallen world and I believe that […]

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Adult Visions.” As a kid, you must have imagined what it was like to be an adult. Now that you’re a grownup (or becoming one), how far off was your idea of adult life? At best, it was grossly inaccurate. I couldn’t wait to grow up, to […]

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Door.” This isn’t the greatest photo, but when I saw the topic, I thought even for the sign on the door, it was a worthy post. I took this in St Albans, Hertfordshire at the Clock Tower.

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Going Obsolete.” Of all the technologies that have gone extinct in your lifetime, which one do you miss the most? Initially, I struggled with this.

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “In the Summertime.” Summer only began on June 21, which was a week ago last Sunday. I was shocked when I saw someone say something about it being the first day of summer, as I thought we were already deep in the midst of it judging by […]

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Celebrate Good Times.” You receive some wonderful, improbable, hoped-for good news. How do you celebrate?
