The Prompt: You’re absent-mindedly singing to yourself, when suddenly the topic of the song comes true.
I would hope to be singing something like Lean On Me or Stand By Me as these songs are about friendship and being of support to someone. Being a good friend and being of support to someone is one of my goals in life. A simple goal to change my little corner of the world. If we can make a difference in one person’s life then maybe that person can change the world and you helped in a small way.

Facing shit ahead

Untitled Poem

Watching the brook,
babbling as it does in the woods,
gives much needed peace.
Good Afternoon, World. As many of you know by now if you read my blog regularly, I attempt to improve my blogging skill a little more as well as attempt to follow through on having a schedule. A schedule on what to write when. I hope that makes sense.
I am planning on starting one of WordPress’s courses that I really enjoy to do. It is in hopes to keep you my reader and/or follower interested in reading my blog. Keeping you interested it something that I hope I can do by taking one of WordPress’s courses.
Another idea is go back to having a regular schedule. Here is hoping that I can follow through on this. The schedule as follows:
Sunday: Weekly Plans – this is where I tell you the plans I have for the week
Monday: Writing Prompts – do something that I won’t have to think of the topic
Tuesday: Not sure yet
Wednesday: Special Guest Junior (1st and 3rd Wed.) and Mama Bear (2nd and 3rd Wed.)
Thursday: Educational – Stuff about Mental Health, it’s treatments and so on
Friday: Fun Fact – Just a much of random facts that are weird or cool
Saturday: Weekly Check-in – This is were I inform you of what I did for the week.
Than you for reading my blog. It is very much appreciated. Peace Out, World!!!
Good Evening, World!!! I am wanting to blog right now but having some issues at the moment. Part of it is genuine writers block while the other part is due to mental health symptoms. Symptoms that are quite bothersome and annoying as hell.
I did see Gilbert today. We discussed the recent trauma I experienced. We also discussed the art work I did in Art Group today. He really likes the fact that art helps me open up about stuff that I need to discuss to help me with my recovery.
For me finding way to help me with my recovery is quite important to me. That’s why I am grateful that Gilbert is invested in my recovery. I think he is more so at the moment than I am but that is okay with me for now.
Thanks for reading. It’s much appreciated from my end. Peace Out, World!!!
Good Afternoon, World!!! Today’s assignment is to use a map as our muse. For me I chose the above map as it is focused on goal setting. At this moment in my recovery I focused on my goals as well as reevaluating my goals. Goals that will help me with my recovery as well as my career path which hopefully some day will include education.
I have some major goals in life. Those major or long term goals I have also have short term goals to help me to my ultimate long term goals. My goals are simple and complex and I will share them with you at some point in time.
Thank you for reading. You are awesome. Peace Out, World!!!!
Good Afternoon, World!!! Today’s assignment is mine your material. It ask to look at your draft to see if I can look at it in a new way. I have been working on my one and only draft for awhile and well its one of those post that you just want to make sure it has just the right wording to be able to convey the message I am wanting to say.
Another thing is I think that this assignment is piggy backing on yesterdays assignment of take a cue from your reader and I have done that. For me mining my material and taking a cue from you my reader are similar yet different. And I am okay with that.
Thank you for reading. Have a great day. Peace Out, World!!!
Good Afternoon, World!!! Today’s assignment is to take a cue from you my reader. I did this assignment a little differently this time around and found it quite helpful. This time around I used my statistics to take a cue from you my reader. I used them by looking at the stats for the day, week, month and year. I have found that blogging on the regular basis has helped increase my followers interest as well as blogging about different things. I also noticed that having Junior and Mama Bear posting brings people in to read. Another thing I noticed is when I post with pictures I get a lot more traffic. I quickly found out about the photos when I did the Developing Your Eye; One course and plan on taking the second course. Something else I have noticed is the tags I use. That is why I try to switch up my tags yet they appear to be the same ones or similar tags. So, it is my goal to switch up my tags to continue to interest my reader.
I guess what I am trying to say is that taking a cue from you my reader by looking at my stats and what I posted that day or week and so on. If I continue to look at my stats and see what keeps my reader, reading then I know what to write about.
Thank you for reading. It is appreciated. Peace Out, World!!!
Today’s assignment is to recreate a single day. I’m not sure if I like this particular assignment as I don’t necessarily want to recreate a single day. If I were to recreate a single day then I wouldn’t be mindful of the present moment. As much as recreating a positive day I would relive a negative one as well.
I guess, what I am saying is every moment I have experienced in life is what made me who I am today. Yes, I would like to relive or recreate moments or even days however that means I would have to relive situations I don’t want to relive.
Now that I am off of my soapbox thank you for reading. It is appreciated. Peace Out, World!!!
Today’s assignment is to play with word count. I don’t have an exact number I want to have in regards to writing as I feel like it is limiting to me as writer. Yes, I realize if I ever write a memoir of my life, that I would have to limit the amount I have to say.
On that note, my grandma’s funeral is coming up in a few days and will be speaking at it. I don’t like speaking in crowds but this is something my grandma would want me to do. I know she would be proud of me when I do as she is aware of my fear of public speaking.
Thank you for reading. I think I need to write what I’m going to say at my grandma’s funeral. Have a wonderful weekend. Peace Out, World!!!
