Have some fun! Writing prompt: Use one of reverence's other meanings in a sentence.  #wordprompt #writingprompt #honoring #respect #revere #worship #venerate #adore #reverence #reverencing
Optimism.. another one of those power words that lies between a mindset and an emotion. When I feel optimistic, it gives me that extra push to move forward with tasks.

Writing prompt: Do you have habits, activities, or routines that inspire optimism? Writing prompt: What can you do to become more optimistic? Do you think effort is required?  #writingprompt #wordprompt #optimism #intuition #stateofmind #ideas #belief #hope #gatheringofideas

Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. - Mark Twain. I lvoe Mark Twain's writing, this quote is one I'll have to ponder a bit.. I do know that there are several different processes - take action steps one can apply to forgive a person, an incident or thing that may feel like it's holding you back, or dragging you down.

How often do we really listen to an ache or a pain, how often do we hear that we need to slow down, take care of ourselves or take a much needed action? How much are we listening to ourselves?

Ah, now, appreciation is much easier than our power word for yesterday, which was tolerance. And I can appreciate that tolerance was a challenge. Appreciation is not a challenge at all. There are things to appreciate everywhere you look. Here's a special photo taken years ago on a camera, not a phone, of my nephew Max when we discovered a real angel in the woods. A natural snow formation of an angel, with bowed head and hands in prayer.. Writing prompt: write about an impromptu moment of appreciation, through your giving and/or receiving. Writing prompt: Does this moment still make you smile?  #writingprompt #wordprompt #appreciation #tolerance #forgiving #everyday #family #friends #life #gratitude #angel #Max #prayer

Is that necessary?  #writingprompt #wordprompt #tolerance #gathering #ability #acceptance #cooperation #weedtolerant #growth #introspection #nojudgement
The first time this word is recorded in use is in 1771 which is more recent than most of our other 'power words.' When I looked up what the difference was between responsibility and responsibility and accountability, this is what I found: task-focused. It relates to a person's role in completing a certain task. Accountability is results-focused. It relates to how a person reacts or owns the results of their task. Writing prompt: Where do you take too much responsibility in your life? Writing prompt: How do you balance the fine line of just the right amount of responsibility?  #Writingprompt #wordprompt #responsibility #caring #accountability #relationships #responsible
