Where do you live again, I've forgotten. I love the slow awakening of Spring too!

In response to "Finding Solitude and Exercising with Word play"

Interesting use of the required words.

I agree that solitude isn't just for females. I see setting is important for both of us. This evening before the sun set, there were 6 cactus wrens playing in the birdbaths happily chattering and 2 hummingbirds buzzing around. It was so relaxing watching them.

In response to "Finding Solitude and Exercising with Word play"

I need solitude. I need connection.

In Montana I live alone. Too much ALONE. I am sitting at the Senior Center after lunch, after having connected; but, I need connection to everyday people of all ages and this is not enough.

When I travel I usually stay in hostels for the connection. If I need solitude I take a walk. Alleyways, parks, gardens... anything.

Basically, I can find both or tolerate either for a short period of time. A cruise would probably be too much. A cabin in the woods, too little.

In response to "The Ocean Giveth and Taketh..."

The thought of all those people being plunged into freezing waters hundreds and hundreds of miles from land is just horrible.

In response to "The Courage of a Teacher's Advice "

That's so cool your teacher's book made Oprah's list. Writing what we know makes us stronger.

"I think it you are boasting about how brave you are, you are likely trying to convince yourself more than others." So true!

Very nice entry and so smart!
"I think it you are boasting about how brave you are, you are likely trying to convince yourself more than others."
Yup, you said it!

To the writer about the Titanic. I think that your observation of things that impresses you was right on. Of all the people who got passage on that ship, they became similar in that they all died. That was sad. But then there were heroes who gave up their places to unfortunate ones to go on in life and touching other parts of history.
I wonder if I would give up my place. I will never know. I also have a newspaper clipping of the 4 chaplains who gave their life jackets to a military man when a ship was sunk during a war. These men were of different religions but showed their feelings and love of God by this act. Not too many people know of that.
There are probably mention of other acts of courage and sacrifice that will never be mentioned. I just know that people do strange and unexpected things when the time comes. The Titanic might be considered one of those.
Thank you for sharing.

Don't like the Titanic. Have an irrational dislike because it was described as an unsinkable ship and sunk on its' first voyage. Upset by the amount of people who died on an unsinkable vessel. Told you it was irrational dislike.

In response to "The Ocean Giveth and Taketh..."

I remember how sad I felt seeing the quarters for the less fortunate versus the wealthy in the movie because like you reading about it didn't impact me. I don't think the history books really paint the picture as vividly as they should.
I agree with you about human arrogance, nothing is invincible.

In response to "Oceans and Overcorrections "

It's good to see you blogging again.

Like your friend, I'm very concerned about human rights, finances, healthcare and my grandchildren's future. I'm not getting around enough yet with the knee, but I am bombarding my representatives with phone calls, and letters.
I hope to be at the next protest on April 19th. (I had knee replacement)

Sunday Bliss and Blogging Prompts

30Day Blogging Challenge
PROMPT November 29th
On this last Wildcard Thursday of the month, make me a list of prompts to add to the Challenge War Chest for future rounds of the 30DBC. What has been your favorite day of the week, and why?

Some days I just struggle...today is one of those days. I'm just not feeling it, not trusting what will come out if I let it - maybe its a touch of seasonal depression although this is very typically a time of year when I am feeling upbeat and hopeful. Whatever the reason I can already tell I'm going to be less than impressive about coming up with a list of prompts but I'm gonna try....

* Musically Speaking: How important is the role of music in your life, in your creative process? Do you write to music? If so, what kind and why do you think that helps?

*“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”
—Ernest Hemingway...How do you feel about this quote by a writer many consider a master. Who are some other writers you admire and consider masters?

*You've been given a full budget and creative license to bring a novel you read to film, what novel would you pick and who would you cast as the characters?

I got three...a fairly weak contribution but I did try to make them quality over quantity at least!

As far as my favorite day of the week..without a doubt it is Sunday. Sunday is my day to catch up on family stuff, getting my house back in order after the hectic week. I love making breakfast while listening to NPR early when I have the kitchen to myself. I enjoy the rumbling of the dryer as I get the week's laundry done and sorted. The domesticity of a Sunday is very appealing to me. I usually cap off the day by making a big meal, something that's spend the afternoon roasting and filling up the home with enticing smells.
