When life gets difficult, sometimes creativity becomes harder to reach. The urge to quit becomes paramount. Quitting is not a feasible option, because I survive in my imagination.
Prompt: Push yourself to continue beyond the will to quit. See what exists in the region of impossibility.
There is light outside the darkness. Fighting for life and a future is commendable. The struggle is not always beautiful, but ashes can be washed away. Even scars have a purpose; they are evidence of strength. Grasping the will to go forward is a challenge for all of us at times. Keep going, and never give up.
I am grateful for the challenge, for being willing to live for another day.
I collect things, pens, journals, books, images, and feelings. Never know when I might find myself in need, so I squeeze things in, some with ease. Others come harder, jagged, and broken, but those find meaning, too.
PROMPT: Go somewhere, familiar or strange, take photographs that soothe or move you. See if you have words to fit the images. Try them out to fit. Post if you can and will.
There is something I want to catch. I have not gotten it yet. Maybe I will share it when I do. Today came close, but we all know there are times when images play us for fools, spooling out with bartered charm.
I caught other photographs, but maybe these are enough for today. I do not know, indeed cannot say for sure, but I might bog someone down. Time will keep, until it does not, then it will slide out and away.
Thankful for these, Today:
1. Oreo cookies. 2. The pen I photographed above is a spirit of music, and music is a muse. 3. January, days when the depth and darkness seem to fall away. 4. Finishing reading the first book in the new year. 5. Sleep.

1. The lights have stayed on with very little flicker. 2. The rain let up enough, the dogs and I did not get too severely soaked on their walks. 3. Pens – indeed, I advised you, I am a fan of all things PEN! 4. My brand of Chicken Cooked Pasta. 5. I am doing well with curbing my diet soda habit.

Most of my work today poured into my journal. Writing by hand sometimes seems more directly connected to creation within the brain. The beginning was rough, but a topic finally appeared.
