Today’s Word is: Me

What one thing do I want to accomplish today: More for me than for anyone else. Selfish? No, and I don’t need to give a reasoning answer, but I’m choosing to do so and that’s so you know you can do the same…not selfish, it’s one way of staying open to you and your needs, wants, opinions, questions.

Daily Hello: I guess it would make more sense to say hello first and then go into what I need for myself, but see the above accomplish for why it’s not first.

Evening Word:

Today’s Accomplishment: This and That

February 1-16, 2025

Hubby still under doctor’s care and I’m picking up/taking care of his part in our daily lives. Look, a relationship is never truly 50/50…recently heard it’s 100/100, which makes sense, too…so, now it’s my turn to pick up and make sure everything’s running smoothly just like hubby did 6 years ago. And, it has been settling into a new routine, so I might be getting my own track combined into this adjustment.

January 15-31, 2025

What’s that line…you make plans and the universe laughs. Well, the universe wasn’t exactly laughing when it threw a few wrenches my way. The first being me getting sick and just not having the energy to keep up and then having hubby get sick with just a few more complications that have required more attention. Now moving to February.

Goodnight: There is no map to any given day or life, sometimes it’s a matter of swinging at the curves.

BLOG NOTE: I’m hoping this will show up where I expect it to and considering it did not, well, here it is. You, if you scroll through my many posts, may come across pages that have their topic without any content. My intention is to write these in and share them as able. The mechanics of posting is my downfall…too this, too that…the writing is what excites me. I hope this explains the blankness and peaks your interest in revisiting. Thank you

This week’s conversation…

Mundane

January 7, 2025 – Life Becomes Understanding

Baby Chris, life becomes understanding

I had a whole set of written points I was going to write out into some semblance of insight, but that’s gone out the window, so instead I’ll just move on to a new thought.

January 6, 2025 – Everything Writer

Me
Chris, writer

I could talk about the holidays and their beforehand and after, but that’s old, let’s get to the nitty-gritty…the mundane of writing. Who’s tired of using quotes in dialogue, the word ‘said’ ‘and’ plus all those ways of describing how something was spoken. It get’s boring. Read past them is one thing, we forget they’re there, but writing them out…ugh. Yes, the bane of my writing life.

Refresh

January 5, 2025 – Creativity

Creativity

A writer will hear and say it themselves – the story is in the edits, the rewrites. The rough draft, first draft, is tossing everything out there and finding the treasure map. Now we search and dig for the treasure. A very well-known artist, who of course I can’t remember, said he carved the marble until the form showed itself. A slab of clay is waiting to be remade. One stitch leads to another and then more until it has unravelled the ball of yarn. Our creativity is always refreshing itself and the more we do the more we are refreshed.

January 4, 2025 – Indulges & Reflections

We all mess up and deserve a refresh. Just like I did today messing up my own order of mind-hats 🙂

January 3, 2025 – Theadora Mitchell, heat with humour

Theadora – Heat with Humour

So, Fridays are for the Theadora mindset, the heat writer, that which contains passion, today I’m just worn out. The holidays are a fantastic time, for most and mostly they are, they’re also stressful and tiring and chaotic. This is the first Friday in this new year and the first Friday after the holidays. Time to refresh the passion of…everything everyday.

January 2, 2025 – Melody Hews, romantic heart

Melody-Romantic Heart

Started writing notes for this morning’s conversation when I realized it was more a blog thought than a quick insight. Sometimes that’s what happens when we allow ourselves to ramble around with direction, we stumble into a clearing.

It’s that time again where everyone makes resolutions and promises. I stopped making these on January 1st because the pressure is just one more thing to add to the balancing beam of life. Everyday is a refresh, a new day, a chance to begin again. Since this is a new year, new month, new day, and falling on Wednesday – my review hat day – I’m looking at my list and jumpstarting where I’ve fallen behind. I wish you a Happy New Year and that all the challenges a new year eventually brings be small and manageable.
