My street finally came up for construction this past June. Before then, I would scan the township's monthly newsletter like Scartlett and Melanie scanning the list of civl war injured and dead in Gone With The Wind. Soon enough white arrows appeared in front of everybody's house marking what would be replaced and what would be left. Luckily as the dreaded construction began, I had access to my driveway and garage. (At least a small sliver of it, but that was all I needed. The blessing of living on a cul-de-sac, for once. I am deeply skeptical that this curb reconstruction was needed. I've included before and after pictures below. Today I am grateful for my curb being "finished" and that at least that part of my life returns to normal. Today I can give from my heart the gift of gratitude. Writing prompt: How good were you at facing at recent challenge? Writing prompt: Favorite July 4th memories?
Scarlett and Melanie scan the list at 1 min 14 seconds, if you have never seen this classic film #writingprompt #wordprompt #streetrepair #GoneWithTheWind #curbappeal #July4th #RedWhiteAndBlue #RoadConstruction #July2025
Our day began with a long walk in the park before it got too hot. Replenishing the makeshift birdbath, observing other dog walkers and listening to the birdsong.. Normal stuff. Stuff that makes up life. I've added a new QiGong practice to my daily routine: I don't know if it actually makes heart disease disappear, but I do like exercises that are 6 minutes long and I always feel really good after I do QiGong. I love noting and writing down my progress, I love having a sort of checklist where I note the Perelandra essence solutions I've taken that day, the homeopathic solutions I've taken, special notes of events, etc. Something about that makes me feel good. I just realized I'll add writing to this list. Maybe time plus word count. Today I am grateful for good news about that G.D. budget bill. (It is still a terrible and horrific bill, but thank God for the Senate Parliamentarian... for now anyways) Today I can give from my heart: actions for health. Writing prompt: How many words have you written today? Are you satisfied with that? Writing prompt: write about a "do gooder" in your life.

I remember learning about energy healing in a class about healing and how short a time it actually takes to "administer" the healing. Something that is not shared with clients, because the gift of healing might not be appreciated nor valued if it was thought to be "too quick." I'm pondering this because I've recently discovered (another serendipitous event) a that shockingly prolific writers sometimes spend very little time on their works of fiction. This is kept secret, because, it was explained, people will not value stories, books and novels if they know that the writer only took a week to produce it. Introducing the amazingly effiecient Lester Dent: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_Dent Writing prompt: Write a story, not quickly, per say, but sentence after sentence, without an outline. Writing prompt: www.paper-dragon.com/1939/dent.html Are you willing to give this a try? Record your results Today I can give from my heart the gift of efficiency and challenge Today I am grateful for a cloud cool day with some rain! It is a weather miracle and I am deeply grateful for it. #writingprompt #wordprompt #Summer #LesterDent #FastWriting #Time #QuickActions #TakeYourTime #Efficiency #productivity #challenge
Something in the natural world has astonished me this spring: the amazing Killdeer. It's a bird in the Plover family, technically a shorebird, but often seen much more inland. Their nests are often shallow depressions in the ground, the eggs are speckled with dark spots for camouflage. The chicks are born looking like tiny miniatures of their parents, and begin running around and looking for food very soon after hatching. Their name comes form their call which sounds like: "Kill deer! Kill deer!" They migrate for thousands of miles. They are very protective nest defenders, warding off suspected predators by flapping their wings to mimic being injured, to distract and drive away a perceived enemy. I observed a pair of Killdeer at the park where I walk my dog each morning. I saw the "injured wing" deception many times before realizing there was a nest that mama Killdeer was patiently sitting on.. Writing prompt: Observe a plant or animal in nature over a period of two weeks or longer. What did you learn? Writing prompt: What surprised you the most? Today I can give from my heart the gift of understanding more of the world around me. Today I am grateful for witnessing this little family miracle. Below: can you spot the Killdeers in the picture on the right? On the left: the tiny babies were starting to run around so I wrote in chalk to let people know to watch out for them, hopefully to help keep them safe while they are so tiny. #Writingprompt #wordprompt #Killdeer #migratorybirds #birdnest #babybirdarea #hatchlings #plover #eggs #nature #birds #miracles #naturalworld
Grandma Jean was the youngest of five girls and taught me so many things that bring joy to my life... ...I was driving through my neighborhood and I saw a house with a stone front that reminded me of somewhere, and the name 'Mineral Point' popped into my head. I thought about the times my grandparents took my brothers and myself on vacations every summer, from around 1965 to 1975. We traveled to historic sites all over Wisconsin and nearby states like Kentucky for Abraham Lincoln's birthplace, and also Mammoth Cave. The garish and fascinating 'House On The Rock,' and Mineral Point where early Wisconsin miners lived and settled. Phillips Wisconsin where my great uncle and aunt lived in 'the parsonage.' All the way to New Hampshire two or three times when my aunt and uncle lived there. Also Vermont, Toronto, Quebec, Niagara Falls. Many, many road trips with three grandchildren... Before cell phones and portable music, we brought along miniature card games: Hearts, Crazy Eights, Old Maid card decks from Whitman Publishing in Racine. Summertime and road trips. Today I am grateful for Grandma Jean and her gifts of wonderful childhood road trips. Today I can give from my heart the gift of being that kind of grandmother to the newest member of the family. Writing prompt: Most memorable road trips? Writing prompt: Are you still enjoying memorable road trips? #writingprompt #wordprompt #GrandmaJean #roadtrip #summervacation #summertime #travel #oldmaid #hearts #crazyeights #MineralPoint
