I got up at four this morning, showered, and started laundry. I am still trying to get my bed back together.
I took my body pillow, which has been with me for years, and put it on my headboard. I was not sleeping with it anyway. I used it as a shelf. All the stuff I lug to bed was on it with it under the cover. Now, I can see it.

Reading you and me The sophisticated one Graduated tops. 4. I am awash in An explosion of these tasks, Before completion Numbers seem to propagate, Sunset calls; owls, “Whoo,” eerie.
Today was long. I will leave you with this prompt.
If you recognize set limitations, can you be happy within the boundaries? Create your explanation.
We cannot control everything. Sometimes it is even impossible to manage the meat-space behind our eyes. There is so much of our brainpower we do not use according to science, but maybe it only comes online in the odd moment to suggest and fixate on things obscure. They are not entirely sure, so how should we be?
We creatives can do this; we can ditch procrastination and show up to work or play, as we may see it.
Since devices distract, we can take them off-line and turn them off. Analog is refreshing at times. A blank canvas or page has charm unmatched by screens. If we need references, books of the material variety are always workable.
Sitting with the quiet, allowing ourselves to think deeply, opens the opportunity for images and words to present themselves without vying for attention in our minds, making it easier to bring them to life.
Calls, social media, texts will wait for us. Life may move, but it is exceedingly likely nothing ground-shattering will happen during the space of a creative session.
Getting busy creating and minimizing distractions while making or writing something may lead to breakthroughs of startling proportion.
If we needed screens to be productive creatively, the old masters and former generations would never have achieved all the wonders that presaged our civilization.

The mountain still stands Though we walk all around it Sometimes climb over, The trees wag their heads at us Whispering, “We will be here – Only rocks will last Until future forgets past; Your bones richen the grass. We will rustle your verses, The sun touching the sea will Sing with a magnificence new – Oceans will come and go But the likes of your being Will again, never, be known.”
If all the devices Stopped working would we rush Out the carpet Of our conviviality and be With ourselves together, Or is it too late? Could we thrive without Those trappings of our consolation That we believe in With very little consternation – Stores with closed doors Vehicles dead on highways In a feverish frying heat, Planes, ah, what planes, Would we know what to do – Could we survive When we are forced To love one another More than a phantom image Appearing on a screen? Whom do we blame for neglecting What is no longer as dear to us? We swallowed the pacts whole Giving up creative control Losing parts of our bold Personalities which heretofore Were essential to our lives. Could we find conversation Without reservation, One hopes so It could mean the survival Of our civilization.
Everyone feels defeated at times; the world and its problems overwhelm the mind and emotions. Personal setbacks also seem insurmountable, but creativity, positivity, and prayer help everyone overcome.
Prayer can settle the mind and help ideas arise, which upset can cloud. Having a possibility outlook, where positive material is brought into the intellect regularly, also adds confidence to a person’s toolbox. Creativity may supply unusual solutions or unique rationales that incite action and bring courage.
Asking others to share a burden or soliciting advice can be helpful, but these can also confuse. Many things require individual attention. There are deep wells of ability in each person when accompanied by a belief in oneself.
Treating others and ourselves with love is advised by the Bible, and it has many benefits. It gives the right impetus to allow us to conquer impossibility and rids us of many negativities which seize control and convince us of inadequacies.
Remember, sometimes goals are not accomplished immediately; great things may require a commensurate investment of time.

Prompt Smile, look at yourself in a mirror, and say, ‘I believe in myself. I can fulfill my dreams. I am loved, and I love who I am and am becoming.’ After these affirmations, work on a creative project formerly neglected because it is a considerable challenge.
Gratitude List I am thankful: For central heat. For warm clothes. For things my Mom taught me. For hope. For God’s love holding me even when I do not notice.
