We went outside for a little bit, beyond usual walks. Before I got the phone out to take the picture, they were looking at me. Normal thing with these two, no photographs, please.
Gratitude: I had a free unexpected free day. It was beautiful outside. I found something I misplaced. I colored a little. Reading good books.
Prompt: Make a work of creativity of your day.
Thank you so much for visiting. Like, follow, comment, and share as you choose. Have a blessed Good Friday or as you celebrate otherwise. Love to you and yours always.
I was broken Lost my “Hope” Needed belief, Her face – That beauty – Unbearable To go on Without, Threw all Including Thanksgiving, Aside to go Rescue The Marbles That almost Demolished My physicality.
Today, truce, I never Trust her, She sometimes Believes in me, We love each Other with A dis-ease Like magnets Attracting Repelling.
She is A lunatic, I am mental, We suit One another Because We learned To trust Whatever We are It could get Better, It could be Worse, But who We are is Together.
Light falls Shadows Raining Into souls Captivated By whispers Leaves titter In breezes Competing With thoughts Unsought Poorly Reflecting Colors frame Memory Doubting Is there time, Time enough To stretch Reaching Toward a sky Bleached With doubt Fear, fading Fast another Chance Opportunity To find Whatever Dreams provide Decide might Add livability Bring joy Where broken Is the heart Spilled out Like blood From wounds Only love Can stitch To heal Make real.
The dogs Tying trying Round feet Stumbling As if Balance Left behind In fairer Climes Where time Was seconds Of days Sunned On skis Rivers Lakes Wherever Never Expecting Future to Steal away Dauntless Strength Endurance Growing was Pleasure Then became Older, Never Let go.
Prompt Shadows, whispers, the passage of days, pick one or all, create.
Loyalty, at times Can best be found residing In the noble heart Of a friend on furry feet Who cannot secrets repeat. The eyes a glory Focused with love, devotion, Finding such pleasure In helping sorrow abate With gentleness, sweet kisses. Tender is the heart Joined in comfort, friendship, Who will stay until The last, when tears fill our eyes And we are broken in loss.
Prompt Consider the ones who always cheer for you, those you can trust; create something.
I am grateful for a warmer day though there was rain at the edges. I was glad for the Oreos and Almond Milk. I am happy that it seems I may be losing a bit of the weight I have gained. Clean bed linens are a piece of Heavenly delight. I am thankful for my home.

While the body breathes Make sure to choose and believe Those things with meaning In depths of soul, center heart, What moves spirit to rejoice. Do not follow all Heard, seen, let the living lead, Reach always for high Things, the most precious, gracious, Neither cheap nor most costly. Rise into the best Of things to acquire, achieve, Count life so priceless No moment is allowed waste; Happiness, hope, joy, love, peace Become guiding principles. Home is never so much a place As a state of being enjoyed with Others who also live such truth.
First, confessions: I like my photos overexposed because I am a fan of super bright colors; my son says it is not right to overexpose; I was a photo purist for years, liking only photos straight out of the camera; I have over the past two years begun playing with programs and apps to edit photos a lot.
I use Photoshop, Lightroom, and Adobe Express, formerly known as Adobe Spark, on PC and Android. I am new to no Adobe offerings, and I have used them hit or miss since 1991.
I have an app called Photo Studio Pro from the Google Play Store, which is incredible. I have Play Pass, so it comes under that, but it is worth purchasing. The photo above was edited in the Samsung camera app, taken into the Photoshop app on mobile, and then tinted and framed in the Photo Studio Pro app.
Some photographers hide their tools under a hood. I do not mind sharing; if there is ever anything you find curious, ask.
Since 1991, I have been a computer nerd. Right now, I am taking most photographs on my phone. I will probably go back to my DSLRs at some point, but I love this phone. I write posts, edit, and format them on the phone. I watch Peaky Blinders and the Expanse on the cell. It took over Kindling from my tablet too.
Alex told me that I would use it for everything digital when I got the right phone. I guess I finally did. It took long enough. Oh, this phone is large; I have small hands and continually drop it. My $8 case seems to be keeping it safe enough.
Prompt What do you want this year to be? Can you create something that gives evidence of where you want to be when 2023 gets here? I am not suggesting resolutions, more ideas toward which to reach.
Gratitude List I am thankful: 1) Change is an equal opportunity earthquake; it shakes all worlds equally. 2) The meds my psychiatrist gave me for pain, sometimes I sleep now. 3) People who love me, even when I am most unlovely. 4) Indoor plumbing. 5) Walls to keep in the things desired and keep out the things abhorred.
I am so glad you visited Haphazard Creative today. I hope you found things that inspired you; if so, please click the like button, follow the site, and come back often. This Creativity Project is a 365, so it will continue all year. I will try very hard to bring new things each day. I will also try to stretch beyond my preferred forms, especially poetry. We will see how that works out. Change, you know, is not a favorite thing of humans.
God bless you! I hope you make your dreams come true.
