1] Even though I took Pills, sleep was temporary, Stranger to my bed Taking me for some trouble Disturbing blankets cover. 2] Someone other needs To take all these things over, Creativity Is more vibrant a demand Than any competency. 3] Tunnels brisk ended Further moves cannot be made, Impossible is Given upon blocking up Paths beyond this here today.
Prompt Your life is full-bore those things you need to create. Catch it; take the shot.
Gratitude List 1. Reading 2. Choosing to do this no matter how I feel. 3. Central heat.
I thank you for visiting Haphazard Creative. Yesterday’s entry was grand though I posted it early. Click the like button, follow the site, come back when you care to do so. Recommend the site to those you think might like it. Blessings.
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.
It takes a file filled With all the clippings taken From the words we kept To organize the meanings Settling each charge from debt.
Vocabulary Slides lives from mediocre To positions of Immaculate deference, Respect meted out with cheer.
You are only you But also superior Than the offering Made any previous day Before you became this way.
Love, you believe it A gift only made a blessing, But each day in life Provided chance perfections Given to create right choice.
The hand held in yours Is not a random occurrence Preparation brought From there to here this moment Two were two, alone apart.
It Was
How the hurting coiled Around the trigger finger, The rifle nearby, Block filled with sharpened knives, Bottles fresh bought, many pills, A vehicle with speed against to slam, Phone, with numbers collected Strength still to override Make the call, a friend, to rouse The will to hang on longer yet. So the news is spared today, Maybe much longer, a run of time, Marching to a natural conclusion, Never doubt the worth of soothing.
Prompt: If you have ever felt down in your socks or up in the rafters, create something that brings it to life for your audience.
1) Alex and I talked animatedly. 2) Sleep. 3) Watching Peaky Blinders on my phone. 4) Wireless headphones. 5) Lovey puppy dogs.

Hand in hand Heart to heart Ourselves brought Together though life In many extremes, tries Its best to part us.
Starting anew, we two With bright hopes Pockets full of dreams To take us, whatever Happens to wherever We share our story.
You and me Meant to be Inseparably, To weather storms In harmony forever, Loving as we always are.
Prompt Create something about relationships in some form in any iteration: Man to Man, Woman to Woman, Man to Woman, Woman to Pet, Man to Pet, Person to Machine, Person to Device, or other. If you can make it comic, extra points.
Yeah, No, Yeah
Dive into the pool Only where the water is deep If you can swim at The end of depths uncovered By problems made clear as night.
This is not the place, For hasty sham politics Freedom still lives here, Liberty wants no false leads Kicking up resistance, fear.
Wash the mud, all clear, Let us sing, here, everywhere No one chooses doubt If truth can be puzzled out, Bringing generosity.
Self-government calls Each to provide of their best Against what is past With discipline so indeed Progress leads all to succeed.

Do you try in words To capture the quality Of light slanting down On the Many Flavored Dog Lying on carpet scratched bald?
Or perhaps the pink’s Shade of the kitten’s tongue which Grooms the mother with A constancy your children Could well affect cleaning rooms?
Do you study lines Writ by whomever masters At the moment you Choose to admire slavishly Trying to perfect your verse?
Does music matter Much because of the lyrics You often harvest To examine in the sounding Mind that measures every time?
Are you a poet, Destined a part to always Guage creatively Finding the heartbeat flutter Each minute frisson avers?
Prompt Explore your relationship, or the relationship of others, to creative work, in a piece of artistry.
