What do you do when It's one of those days when you should be patient with yourself? How about some extra encouragement? We are experiencing our second of three days of 80+ heat and I resent it. I looked around and appreciated the things I accomplished anyway, despite the heat: hoses set up, birdbath filled, even a lawn bag filled with clippings. Took all my supplements, and even got a finicky dog to eat. It's been satisfying to look back at all this. Writing prompt: Notice your accomplishments, even on, or especially on a trying day. List them. Writing prompt: What about a healthy reward? This seems to be a good year - no, a GREAT year for the Columbine in my yard.  #writingprompt #wordprompt #Sunday #accomplishments #encouragement #myday #Columbine #purple
Lately I've been enjoying listening to the old 'To The Best of Our Knowledge' programs, (fondly remembered as TTBOOK) that ran on WPR (Wisconsin Public Radio) for over thirty years. https://americanarchive.org/special_collections/ttbook will bring you to the archives. Programs begin in 2001. It's interesting to listen and muse about things being so different, yet things being the same.. I especially have a fondness for the programs with author interviews.. I've also been enjoying many creative projects. And walks in the woods and around the dog parks.. Writing prompt: Where are you finding your inspiration these days? Writing prompt: What gives you energy, fuels your creativity, inspires you, in May of 2026? Still enjoying Shooting Stars for a few more days!  #writingprompt #wordprompt #Inspiration #projects #ShootingStars #TTBOOK #WPR #OldIsNewAgain
Not sure if people know about wild ginger... Ginger root. I'm sure it gets walked past most of the time. I like this idea that treasures are all around us, waiting to be discovered. Ginger blossom: one single bloom just above the earth, hidden beneath large soft curved leaves. Writing prompt: What about a daily treasure hunt? Writing prompt: Write about a found treasure.  #writingprompt #wordprompt #wildginger #ForestTreasure #ForestFloor #BlackForager
