The cat is Goobi, Alex’s cat, who has returned here after about three weeks lost.
Alex has introduced me to the Amazon Original show called The Expanse. I enjoy watching it with him. He chose to stay a few more days, which I love.
There were several hours spent in copy editing today.
Prompt: Take a photo, or write a scene that under some circumstances is common, but in an instant, is very special.
Gratitude Today Proofing the magazine. Seeing my poem on one of the pages. Having Alex here. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. Rotisserie Chicken.

Nothing lasts forever But the things we do with love, Those are never erased And they are reason enough To stay in the fight for life Until the very end.
Positive interaction is a significant boost to the confidence and well-being of those around us. Kind words and gestures help prevent depression and despair.
As we communicate through creative means, we are gifting with elements of our hearts. When there is trouble, the most effective remedy is love. Comfort is conveyed by hugs, generosity, extending help, confirming personal value, and many other kindnesses.
While contact is severely limited for our safety, we should still be close to those we consider our tribe. Family and friends we trust to take adequate precautions should be our continuing connections to some normalcy.
We can never express our love too often. Saying, “I love you” becomes essential because life is a limited engagement without firm guarantees. We are sturdy but also fragile.
We need one another and require emotional support in our relationships. Doubt and fear are widespread. We combat these by investing ourselves in others in any way possible. Creative expression is an excellent outlet we use to encourage, inspire, and lift the spirits of people we value. Being considerate and providing uplifting communication is fundamental to acting out our creativity and making the world a better place.
Creating is like Diving deep in icy water. It wakes us up Revives our will to love, Give everything to our efforts, Stake a claim for the life we live, Encourage, inspire, aspire, To lives that possess joy, Reach for happiness. Let us come out of the depths, To bear witness to a present, Future pursuing continual progress.
Prompt: Consider how creativity can make the situation all of us are facing with masks, distancing, quarantine, fear, into a better experience. Create something that brings that to the surface.
Gratitude Today Alex and I went out for lunch. I got new brushes since mine was misplaced. Alex’s cat, who had been missing since before Christmas, appeared today and is now inside as she should be. I am using a copy stand that dates back to 1981. Even when I think there is nothing in the well, the well bubbles up with unexpected gifts.

The sails are paper-thin The boat afloat in the wind Tossed about by frothing waves Days fast passing, a coming of age, No slowing, nor stopping, keep coping, With the turning, another completed page; The calendar with its blotted stains Marks the passage, victories, and pains.
Shining faces graced by sweetest smiles, Blessings, dreams, hopes continually persist, Never obsolete, out of fashion or style.
The paper sails of fragile ships set Upon streams to weather storms Tack away from all extremes Which threaten the mercurial existence Of a future freely brought by invention, With creativity, heart, and intuition Souls dance love, meaning, gentleness, Composing lives, elements of all that is.
GRATITUDE My son, Alex, is here to spend a few days. I warmed the house enough, I can wear a tee-shirt. Work was done on the theme here. Had an M&M Blizzard today. Just thankful for blessings.

Maybe it is such An easy thing for some, but For others proves a trial, Errors Continue adding up, Dark clouds fill the horizon. A refusal to quit Being, dreaming, hoping, Unfathomable As specific thoughts may seem An allowance meted freely, Possibly altering faith, love. Holding To knowing life – Assured in greatness; Never giving up, Victory counted dear, very near, Climb, effectuate blessedness.
As a prompt, create something that pertains to your immediate plans in this new year.
Gratitude… Sleep Solitude Singing Reading Being
Thank you for visiting Haphazard Creative. I hope it was a pleasant experience. If you wish, follow the site, or come back in the future.
I am trying this year to return to the original form of Creativity Project used on Chronicles. I included more elements each day than I did in 2020 on Haphazard Creative.
Time may dump you in waters deep, Leave you alone to flounder, sink, But as the depths surround you Be confident you will not drown, Love will find you, stopping the tide, Pulling you to safety, letting you rise To live a better being, a magnificent life. When the storms, which sometimes come Make you doubt, tremble, fear, remember – Love holds you, stand fast, be brave, Let Love be your guide, never forgetting You are precious, treasured, to live life.
You probably recall, when I use Love, it often relates to God.
As a prompt, challenge yourself to create something that will uplift you and others. Any media is okay; do the work and make something.
Gratitude List Today was better than yesterday. I talked to people who helped me. I mastered some tech. I sheltered the Explorer from the rain. I picked up the mail.
