Discover Prompts-Day 30: Grateful

Photo by Gabrielle Henderson on Unsplash. I know that I have much to be grateful for in this life – a roof over my head, food in the cupboard and refrigerator, love in my life, a young dog. I’m not food insecure or housing insecure. Yet, I’m close to it. After a 33-year career in higher education, I… Read More Discover Prompts-Day 30: Grateful

Discover Prompts-Day 29: List

Photo by Little John on Unsplash. For my entire life, I’ve been a list-maker. From the Book of Lists in the 70s and 80s to lists of games or pennies missing from a collection, or baseball cards, to daily to-do lists and master lists for large projects, I’m all about the list. I’m also a wizard of words,… Read More Discover Prompts-Day 29: List

Discover Prompts – Day 28: Focus

Photo by Elena Taranenko on Unsplash. Recently, I had an emergency root canal. During the procedure, they handed me a small squeezy ball with an emblem of the world on it in relief. It was not soft and spongy but rather firm, though I could still squeeze it some. When I found it difficult to concentrate because of… Read More Discover Prompts – Day 28: Focus

Discover Prompts-Day 27: Team

Photo by Amanda Wolbert on Unsplash. My first love is baseball, but I didn’t start playing organizing Little League until I was 10 years old, a couple years later than my peers. I was a bit bigger than the 8 year olds, but very skinny. I was also a little stronger, so I could make the throw from… Read More Discover Prompts-Day 27: Team

Discover Prompts-Day 26: Hidden

Photo by Velizar Ivanov on Unsplash. The hidden life is anathema to healthy personal relationships. Couples or friends who hide or keep things from each other play dangerous games that lead to more overt and conscious forms of deception. Honesty has no limits, though it may be guarded by useful tact at times. I’ve never thought that anything… Read More Discover Prompts-Day 26: Hidden

Discover Prompts – Day 25: Magic

Photo by Almos Bechtold on Unsplash. My brother had a collection of magic tricks. He kept them in a large, worn orange box about the size used for cakes. It was deep and had tape on the corners of the lid to hold it together. It was forbidden for any of us to go in it. So of… Read More Discover Prompts – Day 25: Magic

Discover Prompts – Day 24: Elixir

Today is April 24 and I am official caughtup with Discover Prompts. Today’s word is “elixir.” Life without Indiana Jones would be less worth living. There are few movies that enthralled and inspired me as much as Raiders of the Lost Ark. Absolutely brilliant. Adventure, intrigue, back-stabbing, and an ultimate fight between good and evil.… Read More Discover Prompts – Day 24: Elixir

Discover Prompts: Day 23 – Note

Today is April 24. One more catch-up prompt and I’m caught up! This entry is for the word “note.” Today’s the day you start a diary. Take note of how you’re feeling. As Natalie Goldberg says in her book, Writing Down the Bones, “We are important and our lives are important, magnificent really, and their… Read More Discover Prompts: Day 23 – Note

Discover Prompts – Day 22: Tempo

Today is April 24, the day after Shakespeare’s birth and death days. I’m almost caught up with Discover Prompts! This entry is for day 22, the word “tempo.” I see a theme, musical notes in my life and across these prompts. I also studied Latin in college and grad school. Tempo – time, the rate… Read More Discover Prompts – Day 22: Tempo

Discover Prompts – Day 21 – Instrument

Today is April 24, the day after Shakespeare’s birth and death day. I’m still catching up – so close – with Discover Prompts. For day 21, the word is Instrument. In the previous post, you learned that I play the piano and that it’s one of the great joys of my life. I’m not very… Read More Discover Prompts – Day 21 – Instrument
