Bloganuary: If You Could Un-Invent Something, What Would It Be?
Although I’ve often wondered about who and how people have created inventions, I only had two thoughts in answer to this prompt. One was to un-invent nuclear weapons, and the other was to un-invent racism. I don’t know enough about nuclear weapons, but racism has been much on my mind in recent years. If we…
The Importance of Stories
I was visiting family last week with my eldest, since she and I both had breaks from our usual daily responsibilities and neither of us had seen visited this family in awhile. Overall it was a peaceful, relaxing visit, but as I waited for our plane to get to the gate, I realized that there…
Bloganuary 9: What is your mission?
Since the thyroidectomy, I’ve had a good amount of time to consider what my mission, or goals in life, are. This has been a big shift for me, as I’ve needed to slow down in order to heal, and this time period has coincided with not having work – wide open time to shape as…
Bloganuary 8: Living a Very Long Life
My immediate response is that it would be amazing to live a very long life, but then the quantifiers come in. Would it be a long, healthy life? Or are we theorizing about life as it is currently, since becoming a centenarian isn’t such an uncommon or out-of-reach prospect anymore? Centenarian Expectations If we’re imagining…
Bloganuary 6: If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?
“RUOK?” “With the help of a talking freeway billboard, a wacky weatherman tries to win the heart of an English newspaper reporter, who is struggling to make sense of the strange world of early 1990s Los Angeles,” description of LA Story from IMDB. Starring Steve Martin, Victoria Tennant and Sarah Jessica Parker, this movie came…
Bloganuary 5: Do You Spend More Time Thinking About the Future or the Past & Why?
I find this to be a slightly tricky question, because there’s lots of advice against overly considering either the future or the past. Too much focus on either one means you aren’t present enough in the present. Mindfulness is all about living in the moment, not yearning for something different to have happened or for…
Bloganuary 4: What is the Greatest Gift Anyone Could Give You
I’d like to start by apologizing for yesterday’s rambling, incoherent post. I’d slept really poorly the night before, and got overwhelmed with family news so my brain was quite scattered. But hey – happens to everyone, right? We’re only human. Thanks for coming back & giving me another shot. Every year for as long as…
Bloganuary 3: What College Did You Attend
This, is a super disappointing prompt, a conversation killer. When a question’s answer is one-worded, you’re given an answer and then there is nowhere else to go. I thought about different ways to keep this going, flow it into a more detailed post about college, but it feels kind of empty. I really enjoyed parts…
Bloganuary day 2:Do you play in your daily life?
This is a good question, but I think it depends upon what we consider “play.” Play is defined as an activity engaged in for enjoyment and recreation rather than for practical purposes. By that definition, I could consider a daily walk play, although that may be a bit of a fudged definition, because it is…
Writing Prompt
WordPress has a neat feature where you can follow hashtags, such as #writingprompt. Apparently, there is a challenge called #bloganuary, where writers attempt to write everyday this month. I had made that “resolution” myself anyway, since I’m home recovering from a surgery and some surprise news thereof, so may as well make it part of…
