Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
PROMPT November 17th You have been invited to a posh dinner party hosted by one of the wealthiest people in your small town. When you arrive, your host is does not greet you, and the butler informs you they have been missing last night. A quick search by all the party goers finds him/her dead. Their body is in a small clearing in the woods bvehind the mansion. Being a modern day Nancy Drew/Joe Hardy type of person, you begin your own investigation. What do you find that leads you to the murderer. Who is the murderer? How was the host killed? I wish I felt better so I could get more into these prompts. when you don't feel good it is hard to want to be creative, but at least I am making an effort. under normal circumstances, I would enjoy this type of prompt. I could be Jessica Fletcher on Murder She Wrote, but unfortunately in reality, I am not her and especially not today. I am just really not feeling like doing this right now. I will wait a little while and see if I feel any better a little later. Besides, that will give me the time to think about it. I am having to update this today, the next day, now that I feel better. I am doing this on my phone too. Me and the tablet aren't getting along at the moment. I think it may be wearing out. Since I don't have time to write a novel. I am already behind in writing one of those already. I will make this brief. There was a wallet with an is dropped near the crime seen by the knife that was used to stab the host to death. It turns out the wife caught him cheating on her and she killed him. She was later found inside the mansion in one of the bedrooms where she had hung herself from the ceiling fan with a rope. |
PROMPT November 16th This one will cover one of my favorite subjects, Food. Do you follow a certain regimen/diet when it comes to eating? Other than something you might be allergic to, are there any foods you avoid or limit yourself to? What's your favorite meal to prepare. Share your recipe if you like. (I have a 'killer' chocolate recipe!) *Smile* Killer recipes are so delicious, they are to die for. lol I don't want to die for food right now, so I am having to lose weight. I am diabetic so I have to limit my carbs. I am not on a pecific diet at the moment. i am working with a dietician to develop healthier habits and just trying to focus on making better choices. I will eventually give more details in my diet blog on here. I have a lot going on in my life right now and am really not feeling good today. |
PROMPT November 15th You and your two best friends are going on a month-long road trip. Where are you going? What three items must be in your luggage for this trip to have a great experience for you. If we could travel (we can't right now due to health issues), We would probably travel to some different places in the US. We would visit family and friends in other states, do some ancestry research, and check out a couple of amusement parks. We would all need our cell phones. I would need my Bible with a notebook and pen. I am not 100 percent sure what the other 2 would need. I think one would want their laptop and wifi. The other I think would need video games and tv at least. They need their technology. Lol |
PROMPT November 13th A Science-Fiction type prompt tonight. In your world, all citizens are temporarily neutered at birth. When you want to become a parent, you must prove to the government that you’ll be suitable caretakers and providers before you are allowed to procreate. How do you 'prove to the government' that you'll be a good caretaker/parent. For one, you can get a pet and take good care of it for a while. If you have given any care to anyone, then you can use that as evidence. Personally, caregiving comes naturally to me. I helped take care of my grandma and an aunt when in my teens and early twenties. I took care of my best friend’s mom when she had cancer. I now am caring for my best friend and elderly neighbor. I cared for my parents as I could too. And there have been others. Helping others comes very naturally for me. If anything, I could be accused of caring too much. I poor myself out for God and others every single day. |
PROMPT November 11th A reminder I could say to myself before I’m tempted to respond to anger with anger, to fear with fear, to negativity with negativity is... Oh? I think this prompt is for me. 😊 lol 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. James 1:19-20 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Phillipians 4:6-8 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Psalms 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: These are some of my go to Scripture verses during challenging times. We have so much good advice and so many precious promises throughout the Bible. God is a good God. There is no other God like him. I praise his name! |
PROMPT November 11th You are desperate to use the bathroom. But, you share this with several others. It's down the hall (waaaay down the hall), and it's cold despite the heat being set to the 'normal' temperature. Being an older person, your legs and ability to hold it ain't what it used to be. How do you handle this dire situation? Śounds like it is time to invest in some adult disposable underwear and wipes perhaps. If you have your disposable underwear on then you make it the best you can. If you have an accident, you are covered until you can get into the bathroom to clean up and change. Either that, in vest in a bedside potty or bucket. You had better have something in case of emergency at your disposal. I don't recommend the disposable bed pads. They barely hold my little dog’s pee for the record and that could get messy. Life! You’d better be ready to improvise at any given moment. 🤪 |
PROMPT November 10th Your neighbor’s hay crop is ready to harvest. Everyone in their family is sick and their Combine is broken. How do you respond to this situation? Well, seeing I am no farmer, I don't know exactly how I could help them. I know I can always pray for them if all else fails. I can maybe see if I can find another neighbor or friend to help. I could also try to help them recover from their illness as soon as possible so they can help themselves. Other than that, I don't know what I could do. Sometimes just being there for someone to talk to is all you can do but sometimes you don't know how much just that helps. |
PROMPT November 9th You are having a very realistic dream. In this dream, you are approaching a castle. What unusual reason do you have to be at this castle? What do you say to the two guards standing outside it to gain entrance? I am currently taking an antibiotic, and I would say it is making me have some actual dreams like that. However, none of them have been about a castle. I had one about a mansion that my parents suddenly owned and actually ended up being a bit disturbing because of some of my past. So I guess I will have to make a castle dream up, and I am not in the most creative mood today. I must save the princess from an evil sorceress. I will tell the guards I have been summoned to work in the kitchen. It works although I am escorted straight to the kitchen. Hopefully, I will be able to find the princess before the sorceress. Oh no! The sorceress is about to get to her first. I wake up from the dream before any harm can come to the princess. Problem solved! |
PROMPT November 8th What would you have to start doing now so that in 10 years you feel like you just had the best decade of your life? I am doing that right now. I am examining myself and I am trying to correct my bad habits and form better ones. I am trying to take responsibility for how my body got in it's current condition. I am trying to take better care of myself. I am making sure I have an awesome relationship with God and doing what I can to put God and his righteousness first in my life. I am writing a novel, stepping out of my comfort zone, and I am trying things I have never tried before. I am living my life the best I can each and every day. I am fighting for my health and well being. I am helping others as much as I can. I am still being productive. I am learning new things. I am making mistakes. I am being me. |
PROMPT November 6th You work alone from home, logged on to your work PC. One day you log on, and start your routine. You look at the clock on your desktop and eight hours have passed, but you have no memory of getting any tasks done. Tell us what might have happened to you during those eight hours. What happened? If I have no recollection, how do I know what happened? Just saying. It had to be an alien abduction with a time-traveling experience because the computer says I did my job. I do feel unusually tired though and a bit hungover. Or was that an out-body experience? I am not sure. It all seems like a dream. It started out like any other day. Then I saw a flash of light and blacked out. I seemed to have been in and out of consciousness. There were these strange-looking figures standing over me with some kind of tools and speaking some kind of language I didn't understand. The next thing I knew is that I was back in front of my computer and my workday was over. I don't know if I want to continue working for this company. What if it happens again? |
