| PROMPT November 30th Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition? Well I didnât complete the whole 30days owing to circumstances beyond my control, as they say! However I really enjoyed the process of coming up with some sort of answer each day. There are some people who are natural bloggers, they write so effortlessly, or so it seems. This month Charlie ~  has touched me with his openness and his unique take on things. Robert Waltz  is as usual his normal entertaining self, and WakeUpAndLiveď¸~đŹđ2024  always makes me smile. Thanks to everyone who gave this challenge a go this month. I very much enjoyed reading all your blogs, thanks for all your comments too. There were lots of good prompts this month, most were insisting I reach into my psyche, look deep into my soul and reflect on some part of my personality and life. I enjoyed reading about the indigenous people of different regions and countries. There is so much forgotten history we know nothing about. Most countries it seems tried to eradicate their first peoples, it never worked. |
| PROMPT November 29th We need your help filling the Challenge War Chest! In your entry today, write three of your own prompts and then choose one of your own to complete your entry. Whatâs your favourite season and why? If your family werenât your family would you choose to spend time with them? Why do you think people love having pets? If you choose not to have a pet, why? Iâll choose number two to comment on today. Family as a whole consists of many members. Although I truly love them all and would be devastated if anything bad befell any of them, there are some of the family I wouldnât choose to spend much time with. The old saying you can choose your friends but not your family is so true. And yet it is expected weâre supposed to love spending time with family members purely because they are connected through blood or marriage. It doesnât make any sense at all. You can probably tell, today has been one of those times when Iâve asked, âReally, are you related to me?â Christmas time can be stressful for many people, often because of expense, but more so the expectation of âbeing with familyâ. Or for some the fact of having no family at all, when the myth of togetherness is thrust upon us at every turn. Advertisements showing the âperfectâ family, opening presents around the tree and Mother carrying in the perfectly cooked roast and all the trimmings. Itâs not fair that this image is foisted on the people, making them feel failure or sadness. The older I get, the more disillusioned I become, which is so sad. For years I was that person who tried to achieve perfection. The beautifully set table and the perfect meal. Everyone was welcome at our house. I cooked meals for thirty seated guests and family. Then when I said Iâd had enough, no one seemed to take over the reigns and I donât blame them either. So I havenât really figured it out. Could we really do Christmas without the guilt? Simply spend the holidays with the ones we wish to, the ones who give us pleasure? Not sure we could get away with it. |
