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.
I went to town today to get my medicine. A small God Thing happened.
The pharmacy called me and told me I had to go today or they would put the prescriptions back. They misunderstood me when I said I would come and put the drugs away. When they reran them, it halved my bill.
Because I am in a delicate position financially, I felt blessed.
1 Tempers like wildfire Range through angry hearts of men No fence keeps them in. 2 Love is not easy Dedication is required We must share our fears. 3 Laugh as pain delights Hide the tears, swallow the screams, Make light of hurt, too.

I never know how these entries will fall, whether readers will like them or not. I do know I always hope they bring glory to God.
My life has been a jumble of experiences. Without the miraculous love of Jesus, I would not have come so far.
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.— Proverbs 19:21

Prayer, experience, Discipline through joy and pain, Let us grow and claim Nurture and understanding – Bringing a faithful landing.
My perfectionist and critic always say I do everything wrong. Do you get the treatment, too? I have learned I can fake the tyrants out by claiming I am fooling around. When I push send, they go off the deep end. I guess it goes on and on, never ends.
Being a Copy Editor helps with some of the complaints. I get to catch other people’s mistakes, and it feeds the hungry ghosts.
Prompt Every day brings its gifts and challenges. Create something that acknowledges what you face today or at another time.
Appreciation I am thankful: 1. Chocolate muffins 2. Reading glasses 3. Wookie, the vigorous pup 4. Tribble, too cute little pup 5. Getting a poem published

It is Winter, I suppose, But as the weather is, who knows? A scattering murder of crows Wings away as daylight goes. Caught in these woods at sundown Cawing echoes, surrounding sound, Marking a spot in memory As the crows escape over the chimney. Ebony wings go forth, calling, It is backward, into the past falling My mind flys to times appalling But I try to busy be, Love installing.
Prompt: Think of something relating to Winter and create work informing your audience.
Gratitude I am thankful: 1. Work for the day is over. 2. I have drinks. 3. My phone. 4. The dogs. 5. Kindle.
