I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you'll be able to reconnect to your home and memories through the movie.

I think that as with any kind of writing, responding to a prompt can sometimes spark nothing... but for me, if I just start writing something, anything, an idea will come.

Sometimes I have to really think hard and if nothing comes just admit it and move on to the next one.

I like these 3 prompts too.

These are good prompts. I've been around the 30-Day for awhile so some were familiar. Now I'm trying to learn to spin them in a new way or make the old news work better.

I Feel a Headache Coming On

PROMPT January 2nd

Yesterday, we looked to the past. Today, we’ll write about the future! (No resolutions, I promise, Robert *Wink* )

2030 sounds so futuristic, but it’s only ten years away! What do you think the world will be like ten years from now? What inventions do you think we will have by then? What are some changes you think will happen in the world in the next ten years?

To think about the year 2030 gives me a headache. I realize it isn't far away, but for me it cements the passage of time. Half way through that year I will turn 70 years old. 70! That's a lot to take in. I just got used to the idea that half way through THIS year I will turn 60. And as I sit here looking at what I've just typed I feel anxiety.

For me it's not so much about technology, or climate change, or media, or even government. It's about ME! How have I changed? What have I done for me? What have I given the world? Have I done what the Good Lord has asked me to do?

They're all important questions because by 2030 my life will be 2/3 over. And that begs the question: What does the last third of my life hold? Will I have any limitations? Will my body still function properly? How will I see the world? How much time is really left?

Ugh! I'm sure you can see why just the mention of the year 2030 gives me a headache...and anxiety. My hope is that I live well into my 90's. I don't plan to leave this world quietly. I plan to go out kicking and screaming! But honestly...I don't really care to see 100.

So here's to 2020. I'll deal with 2030 when we get to that.
