{entry:    Prompt: "What is your favorite childhood memory? Does anything make you feel nostalgic?"A lot of things make feel nostalgic, but especially walking up into my old home place. They went in after my family and I moved away and drilled several oil and gas wells there. I no longer recognize the place due to the fact they tore it up so badly. However I have a lot of fond memories from there. Some of my favorites are going camping from there or sleigh riding down the rights-of way. The right-of-way beside our house was 200 yards or so high and I would always go clear to the top and ride down like a maniac. It's a wonder I hadn't gotten hurt or worse but it was fun. Day 2675: March 14, 2020"Prompt: “To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.” ― Osho What do you think?" I think that I agree. I love life and that quality enhances my abilities as a writer. Recently I have been doing nothing but blogging, basically because I only write when the feeling moves me to write. Yes, I have written a little poetry on another site but not much of that. I agree however that loving life helps inspire us as writers. We want to add a little beauty to it. I believe good writing can be beautiful. I have saw my poetry and that of others move people to tears. You know you have touched a chord when that happens. Prompt: "Write a list of the things you love about yourself."I don't normally write lists like this, but I do believe it is important for us to love ourselves. To love ourselves we should know what we love so here goes: I love that I am typically honest. I love that I have grown into a much better person than I was at one time. At one time I was manipulative, violent, and moody. Now I am usually upbeat, positive, honest, and full of integrity. I like who I am today. I don't lie to get approval as I once did. Nor do I seek anybody's approval but Holy Spirit.    |
