and Purposeful Prose
Some people need talk therapy. I need write therapy. If I don't start thinking and writing I'm going to have such a hard time rising again. I'm a fighter. A tired fighter, but a fighter. Discouragement is my worst enemy right now. Nothing keeps you from rising more than negative thoughts. The problem is that [...]
To write or not to write, that is the question. Should I start the week off with something in my drafts, some poetry, or should I write about my week? Okay, let's start with where I am. That's a good place to start, right? For the most part April was a better than normal month [...]
Pooped, tired, out of gas… I don't like taking breaks! I fight it tooth and nail! However, when the alarm went off this morning all I wanted to do was go back to bed. That's never a good sign. I'm going to sit this week out. Though I have plenty in my drafts to share, [...]
All the photos in this post were sent by my dad. You'll find out more as you keep reading. It's a quiet afternoon as I sit and reflect. The sun was shining this morning, but by the time I got geared up to get out for a walk the sky was grey and a wind [...]
April 21, 2020 Today has been one of my better health days even though it started off really rough. I woke up feeling unwell, a bit glum and frustrated because I hate waking up feeling so run over. I was certain that this was going to be another one of those days where I'd accomplished [...]
I wasn't going to accept awards this year! I have my reasons, but I'm not telling! However, Dawn's nomination was really sweet and unexpected, and it gives me a chance to nominate some ladies who have really blessed me. Thank you, Dawn! Dawn's blog is called Drawing Closer to Christ. She writes wonderful insightful reminders to [...]
I wrote this back in February. I almost threw out the baby with the bathwater again! It isn't that this piece is unpromising… It's just that it's still in progress. I added some up to date thoughts at the end. --- February 2020, *Groan* Last Thursday I stood in the kitchen and let out my [...]
Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Imagine what it must have been like to be a part of this monumental historic event from crucifixion to resurrection. First there was an angry mob who demanded Jesus' crucifixion; then grief for many as Jesus hung upon the cross—His body pierced and bleeding. After Jesus' death [...]
Yesterday was a really bad day for me. My mood was so low as depression washed over me again. I'm still not quite back to myself. When I'm depressed my empathy can really kick into overdrive, so I was grieving for those who are worrying. I can tell when someone is losing hope. It's very [...]
I'll explain the photo for this post at the end. No, this isn't a ploy to get you to read my post. The choice is always yours. One Day (at a time) It's okay to feel It's okay that moods turn grey One day all of our sorrows will be forever wiped away. Tina S.W. [...]
