In response to "Getting Started and Introspection - Quotes "

Those experiences that are painful unfortunately haunt you and often are the best fodder for writing.
I love the quote too because it reminds me that second time is the best.

When I think of this quote a blank page comes to mind. I fear not being able to write more than most in the moment things but my life is quite sheltered now. In the past, I would have been more like your entry. I lived in fear all the time.

It's so good to see your entry today. As always, very thoughtful entry.

We are magnetically charged meat suites. ... nice.

I sat with a wise-old Swede recently lamenting about my inability to make good choices... or just choices.

I said that I liked Sisaket (in Isaan, Thailand) better than here... He said... then go. What about my loneliness? "Someone there will be attracted to you."

Let it come?

He also mentioned his many romantic failures, including one girlfriend of 3 years who slashed him. *sigh* He has a new one. We met. I like her.

I agree positive mindset does influence us.

It's so good to see your blog entry. I've missed you Carly.

I got this link on Instagram and thought I would add it here: Tom Hanks - This Too Shall Pass

I would never hope that anyone was treated unfairly, but I get the point of his message.

The "this too shall pass" has helped me many a time.

You are wise!

Living in the present is a challenge, I agree, but sometimes it's good to just Zen out the world....even for 5 minutes at a time.

In response to "See The Message in the Misfortunes"

There's a song I think about every time I hear "nothing stays the same." It's by Patty Loveless, and it's called How Can I Help You Say Goodbye. Life definitely changes. I have a tough time living in the present. It's hard not to fall back into the past or worry about the future.

Sometimes living in the moment feels like ground hog day with Bill Murray for me. I keep trying to see the positive but it is challenging.

There are many days when I don't wax so philosophical.

I do think that we are capable of learning lessons; it's just that sometimes I'm a tad slow.

It is interesting how people can have the same experience and perceive things differently. I like this.

A January 2020 Thank You!

30 Day Blogging Challenge

PROMPT January 30
Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? Did you learn anything new about your fellow competitors? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition?

Someone posted a meme a day or two ago that said something like: 30 days hath September, November, April, May and June and the rest have 31, except 29 in February and January which has 973!

This has been an exorbitantly long month... one full of exhausting things. Work has been challenging at times. The students are dealing well with the changes, but their behaviour has been silly which keeps us on our toes. I work in a special education class with students with autism. I will so glad when the Strike Action is resolved and we can all get back to what we love doing - Teaching.

I have managed to get to all the prompts - Yeah Me! but I have read very few of my blog-mates. I hope to rectify that over the next few days. Some of my entries have been sparse - yesterday was one of those days. It was a great prompt, but I was far too tired to make much of it.

I did enjoy the one about the imaginary friend. That one was my longest entry and gave me ideas for a future story possibility.
My most favourite prompt was for January 22nd - Your bags are packed. You have unlimited funds and resources to travel anywhere you want. Where do you go, who do you bring with you, and why?

I had fun doing this one and researching the dates of this year's writer's retreats was a blast. A writing retreat in Europe is a bucket list item for me. I may not do all of the things I mentioned in that blog, but I would love to do at least one... imagine living in Paris for a week taking a month long writing workshop?!

I appreciate all the wonderful, thought provoking prompts and look forward to another month... sometime in the future.
Happy Blogging!!!
