Daily Prompt 5/19/23
I had to think too hard about this… It was my shoes. I bought the sandals a couple years ago. Everything else I got within the last year. How weird. Usually I’m wearing shirts I’ve had forever, but apparently I’ve spent more than usual on clothes in the last couple of years. I blame retiring…

Daily Prompt 5/18/23
It honestly depends on what we are talking about. There are times where I really know what I’m doing and no one can tell me anything. But sometimes I feel a little unsure of myself and want to see what other people are doing. I used to put a lot of pressure on myself to…

Memories
I suddenly started thinking about a boy from my earliest days at school. We called him DJ. He definitely would’ve been labeled with ADHD and given meds at this point in his life. DJ was a huge part of my life without him even realizing it. I was raised as a people pleaser, so I…

I can start walking every day to clear my head, listen to music and relax, and also get some exercise. I really should be doing this ALL the time. It seems like such a small change, but it’s actually huge in my brain. It would require me to revamp my entire morning routine, or so…

(I started this 6 days ago and never got back to it. I am going to keep the original date.) I decided to just go in order of the prompts I’ve already used. I thought this one would be so easy but as I sit here thinking, I realized that it’s not. There’s a lot…

I have felt myself fading from blogging the past few days. I’m not even sure how long it’s been. One day? Two days? After my January break from blogging, I wanted to be consistent. I love stats and metrics, so I love when I see that I’m on some super long streak. But at the…

the Help abandons me
today I had a therapy appointment. Once upon a time, when I first retired from the military, I decided quickly that I needed to find a therapist. I checked my new insurance plan to see who was covered around here and chose a place that sounded good. I was randomly paired up with someone. That…

Daily Prompt 5/3/23
Well, I’ve already completed one career plan, which was 20 years in the military. So I guess I am semi-retired now. I feel like there’s more left for me to do and I am still trying to figure out what that looks like. I want to work for myself as a writer, editer, and researcher.…

Taking ownership
I’ve had a couple of life-changing things happen in the last week or so, mostly revelations in my own mind and results from deep meditation. I feel like I’ve turned some corner on everything. It’s showing up in weird, unpredictable ways, but mainly it’s the peace I feel inside me now. I do editing work…
