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.

Virtues

PROMPT July 22nd

Make a list of the top five most important virtues and why.

Ah, the virtues. The things we believe and practice say a lot about us. They allow us to take a deep look into ourselves and others. And being aware allows us to determine whether we've done the right thing, or if someone else has done the right thing. The virtues keep the moral compass pointing north. And reminds us that each and every one of us is important and loved by someone. They remind us of the Golden Rule - to treat others as we want to be treated. And also very important, they remind us the we too, are important, and loved, and should treat ourselves as we would treat others. The virtues are important, that's for sure, and although there are many, here the five that govern my day:

1. PRUDENCE - Common sense. Saying or doing the proper thing, at the proper time, and in the proper manner. It's also the ability to discern whether or not to say or do anything at all.

2. JUSTICE - Fair play. The desire and resolve to give each person his due. The resolve to work for the common good and treatment of all.

3. TEMPERANCE - Balance. There must be balance in everything. We must know where the proverbial line is and not cross that line.

4. FORTITUDE - Perseverance. The ability to hang in there when things get tough, and the ability to do the right things no matter the cost.

5. FAITH, HOPE, LOVE - I lumped these all in one, since they always seem to go together. And I believe these are the most important of all. Because without, we really are nothing.

Sure, there are lots of other virtues, and all of them good. These are just the five that are top of mind for me. But at the end of the day, we all have the good sense and grace to do the right thing no matter the cost.
