PROMPT January 29 Everyone did a great job with filling the war chest yesterday! There's so many great prompts and I'm sure Em will love every one of them. Since today *is* War Chest Wednesday, I'm going to grab one. What is your favorite virtue? Give a few examples like kindness, cleanliness, tact, truth, generosity. Is your favorite one you possess, or one you simply admire in other people? Do you have a strategy to develop it yourself? It's hard for me to believe that we are so close to the end of the month! And in keeping with our prompt I'll say that commitment is one of my virtues. When I say I'm going to do something I actually do it. And I do it until it's completed. Take this blogging challenge for example. There have been days when I've been running late and experienced some stress about getting my entry posted. But I stuck to it, and got it posted. I didn't just give up and say, "Oh well, I'll manage tomorrow." No, for me that would be the easy way out. And in this situation I'll give it the old college try. And that's because I know there will be times when it's just not possible. I've also had some days where it's been painful to sit at my desk and type. Today is one of those days. I've been down with a nasty sinus infection and the last thing on the planet I want is to sit and type. Just the sound of my fingers clicking the keys is making my head pound. And the glare from my screen is assaulting my eyes. So...poor pitiful me...but I half thought about just skipping today's prompt. But then I decided that there's only a couple of days left. And I also told myself that painful or not I could sit for fifteen minutes and type. So...here I am. I think this is a great prompt, but for me it would be better to approach it at another time...a time when my mind is clear and bright and my mood is clear and bright and my outlook is clear and bright. For today, though, I'm going with commitment. That's my virtue because I'm going to finish. |
