Daily Prompt 5/26/23
I also want to say that I have no possessions that matter as much as the people and pets in my house. But that’s inaccurate. There are a few things that I wouldn’t want to lose, like my computer with all of my writing from the past 2.5 years. I also wouldn’t want to lose…

Not Today
For the first time in weeks, I have nothing I HAVE to do today. No appointments, no commitments, no soccer practice, nothing to do outside of my house. What a wonderful gift of a day. May has always been hectic because it’s the end of the school year where I’ve lived since I had kids.…

Yes-two bones in two different incidents. The first was a bone in my ankle. I was running with the kids in the backyard and stepped into a hole where a tree had been recently removed. It was mostly filled, but the filler dirt had settled, leaving a small three inch ditch. I wasn’t wearing socks…

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…
