As a distraction, I guess, from the horrific news that seems to be a nonstop these days, I've been delving more and more into history. The History Chicks has been a long time favorite of mine and it's been around since 2011! Hosted by Beckett and Susan: thehistorychicks.com/ Newer to me is 'The Rest Is History' podcast, found on YouTube and through your usual podcast places. It's interesting that as you learn about The Medicis or Mary Queen of Scots you begin to see that horrific politics has always been around. Money, power, greed, have driven people since money, power and greed have been thought to create happiness. That's nothing new and offers a bit of solace. https://fixthenews.com/ from the ABOUT page: Fix The News is an independent, subscriber-supported publication, read by people from 195 countries. Each week, we find stories of progress from around the world, and share them in our email newsletter. We have a podcast too, called Hope Is A Verb, where we interview people doing extraordinary things to make the world a better place. And "good news for progressives" - The Smile https://www.readthesmile.com/ Highlights from the week: library crafts, welcoming Autumn! Discovering new online writing groups. More about that next time! I am thankful for answers, solutions, support, help when we need it. #Writingprompt #wordprompt #history #TheHistoryChicks #TheRestIsHistory #TheSmile ##FixTheNews

Who Gets What and Crockery Cookbook Journals It's always a question how much time you should spend on things that involve the past vs doing things that you want to do for today. I thought I would begin editing and redoing the 1000 journals I've published since 2016. But when you think about authors and their works of fiction, or nonfiction, they might have the same feelings, but they forge ahead and create new works, because, honestly who has the time? We improve with each new creation, whether it be art, or writing or a way of doing things.. Allowing that growth is the important thing. Writing prompt: Most important focus for me today is: Writing prompt: How am I honing my skills as I forge ahead? Highlights of the week: enjoying thehistorychicks.com/, laser eye surgery procedure, the tiniest hint of autumn is in the air, car repairs not as devastating as first thought they would be.

Something I'd been dreading for a while happened to me this week: a "temporary" crown fell out, just as I sat enjoying some homemade soup. It was put in in 2020, so it lasted a good long time for being temporary. Now the search begins for a new dentist. That's not an easy feat, is it? You have to find one who is in your 'plan' and then the maze of form filling out begins. The kind of thing that's easy to procrastinate about. It's such an odd thing that some things we hop right to when doing them, and other tasks just sit in the back of our minds, gathering cobwebs. Today is Lazy Mom's Day, the first Friday in September. Cheers to all moms (including fur baby moms) and hopes that everyone gets to enjoy something just for them today. Writing prompt: What would you most enjoy on a "do nothing" day? Writing prompt: Are you a procrastinator? Why? Highlights of the week so far: wonderful breezes, pattypan squash, the season's first apple dumplings, and I'd been putting off doing some craft stuff, and I finally just went ahead and did it.
