Blog : July Writing Prompt - LAUGH (July 1, 2022)

 


What makes you laugh?
The year's theme is "breathe," and this month's focus is "laugh." Use one of these prompts, set a timer for 5 minutes (or more), and write about:


  1. What makes you laugh?
  2. Tell about a time when you laughed so hard your sides hurt.
  3. Describe someone else's laugh (or your own laugh if you can).
  4. Did you ever laugh at an inappropriate or inoppurtune time? What happened?


Level Two Reflection
Considering what you just wrote, answer these questions (use any or all to explore your inner self after writing):

 

  1. Do you laugh enough? Why or why not?
  2. This makes me feel . . .
  3. And now I want to . . .


Food for Thought and Action Step

Joy = Laughter! (At least it does for me.) Are you lauging? If not, take some time to #findjoy . . . and share what you find! Just like collecting tiny stories, tiny joy is powerful too. 


Get your paper, pen, or computer and get ready to:


LAUGH

Ready . . . set . . . write!


PS. If you would like to have a matching notebook for each month and theme (or just your favorites), click here to see the collection.

Blog : Dirt Is Powerful (and You're Dirt)! — November 13, 2020

  I’m not really a “flower person.” Blossoms went unidentified most of my life until a mystery bloom captured my heart and camera on a sidewalk in South Carolina. It wasn’t on display—quite the opposite, actually. Spilling over someone’s concrete barrier of a back yard, exotic flowers celebrated their slow-motion escape with a “Seussical” carnival suspended on vines. I could almost picture the “ Whos down in Whoville ” climbing on the whimsical explosion of color and taking a spin. I’m not sure how long I lingered with my lens drinking them in, but that moment marked me.  And no one I knew could tell me what they were. It took 10 years, many states, and thousands of flower photos to meet the curious blossom again. I was on official business—the delightful work of doing photography for a   botanic garden . If I had only looked at the displays, I would have missed the vibrant purple, raspberry, and lime green carousels just beginning to open on a bridge. Once again, they se...

Blog : 1125 Longer (November 26, 2020)

Image
  It’s 12:08. No one has peeked in! I wonder . . .   Beth’s thoughts floated toward her father.   12:10--still no one. Maybe they won’t notice?   Her defiance was unintended and reluctant. Midnight had come, but she didn’t want to hurry away just because a clock completed its revolution. No visitors were allowed beginning November 25, 2020, which was now 12 minutes in.  Just a little longer , she told herself. As soon as she was left, she couldn’t come back and didn’t know how long visitation would be closed down.   I’ll stay as long as they’ll let me stay , she resolved. Quiet enveloped Beth and her dad. He slept still, deep, and peaceful. The television was on--familiar light and sound for him. Her laptop, dimmer and softer, played voices of ministers familiar to her.  Occasionally the regular bustle of nurses rose into a wave of activity from the station outside her father’s room. Often it was the patient who cried out in pain. Beth prayed for him a...
