Catching Up A Little

I am sharing journal pages written over a few days.

There are pages in between these I open to you, Dear Born. Some of them are too negative to allow here. Things have been in turmoil.

Prompt: I have been experimenting. Your turn, try out something new. If you wish, 😉 share it with the world. I did, and you can, too.

Someone invited me to write a book with them, stay tuned, and we shall see what happens. Fear, with some of my paranoia, comes calling when I think of the project.

Gratitude List

I am thankful:
1. I have supportive friends and family.
2. Love exists.
3. The Lord God created such an exquisite world.
4. We are creative.
5. There are safe harbors to be found in times of desperation.

Maybe you have things you are grateful for as well. When we look around, there are so many things we have now that were once only dreams. Perhaps you can make a list.

Thank you for the generous gift of your time. If you found something here that touched your heart ❤️, please follow, like, mention, and share.

May Love be your chaperone wherever you go and whatever you may do. God be with you eternally.

Always and Evermore,
Jo Ann

I doodle when I am trying to soothe myself. What do you do when you need to reach calm?

Everything today converged to make getting things done difficult.

Sometimes plans run amok, I lack necessary control. Do you ever get lost in things and time slips on you? It often occurs to me that despite efforts to the contrary I am floating unanchored. Only the present exists and it is an area wild. Who holds it? God, I suppose, but does He cede the reins that each of us drafts our activity? Live life alive sweet subtle self 🌟 serene.

I am a creative and I appreciate some of AI functions. However, when it downright changes my words, I want to dismiss it entirely.

One reason I persist in doing much of my work by hand is keeping AI out of creation. I want my voice, not some sanitized spiritedness.

Anyway, I hope you have checked in with yourself ☺️ today. It is essential to be kind in your dealings with yourself. Self-empathy allows you a more even attitude with others.

Sometimes, typing puts me in a wholly estranged space of creation. It can be a good thing. I lighten up a little. Finding myself suddenly thrust into a sky high attitude I lapse into calm.

Prompt – Try several modes of creating: text, handwritten, art, graphic design, photography, or otherwise. Examine how your mood may change. Decide if you appreciate the differences.

Thank you for spending time with me. You are vital. Your input can influence. If you wish, comment, like share. Be involved, help evolution and revolution.

Peace be your companion and creativity enlighten your hours. Do, be, keep going. Never give up! Quitting is 🚫 not your pathway! Success beckons; press on.

Linking Where I Have Been

Fond Haiku, Busyness, Too

Truly!

Today, and most times, I am amazed at the glorious around, within, outside, about us. The world we have is astounding.

Prompt: Take a deep breath! Pick one thing in your environment that makes you smile. Create something to allow others to experience it as you do.

We have instant access to such an abundance, and miracles happen consistently. Technology puts magic at our fingertips. There is no limit to what we can create.

What are you grateful for today? List at least five things, or more if you wish.

Who do you need to share your Love with today? All sentient beings deserve recognition but focus on one of them all.

May the Lord surround you in abundant blessing now and evermore.
