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.

Be Nice

PROMPT March 26th

Fill in the blanks in this sentence and expand on it in your entry:

I think people spend too much time ________ when they could be _________.

Gosh, today I'm tired because I haven't slept well in a few days. I'm annoyed at the neighbors behind us because they are SO LOUD and NOISY. I'm frustrated with my networking group because they are complaining about ZOOM. And I'm just plain cranky. I think I finally hit the wall with this virus and having to shelter in place. Lock down. That's what it really is. Anyway...I'm feeling out of sorts and I honestly hope I don't offend anyone...so here goes...

I think people spend too much time JUDGING others when they could be PRACTICING KINDNESS AND COMPASSION. Sadly, it seems our society has grown comfortable criticizing and judging everyone else. Some of the things I hear lately:

"Those people have horrible children. Don't they know how to discipline them?"
"Holy cow that's a huge woman! She should try fasting."
"You shouldn't do this...or that."
"That guy looks like a slob. Doesn't he have a job?"
"It's not fair. Those people don't need that much."

And a whole lot more. Everyone is so quick to look at someone else. Wouldn't it be nice if they took a look in the mirror? People don't realize that they don't see themselves as other people see them. And they walk through life thinking nothing of their hurtful, and sometimes cruel actions and words. And that includes everyone. Even me. I'm at fault too.

So I believe it's time to stop judging and reach out with a kind word and a message of understanding and support. Although each of us is trying to make it in this new world of COVID-19 we need to remind ourselves that we don't know exactly what someone else is struggling with.

Understanding and support can go a long, long way. Let's all be nicer. Mostly me.
