Paper or plastic, Pepsi or Coca Cola, chocolate or vanilla. What you prefer can say something about you and says something about your tastes. Our preferences are things to pay attention to if you want to make someone happy. What we want is what we want but we can’t have our own way all the time. What you prefer is one thing but what is available is another.

Daily Prompt: Identity
Ones identity is an outward and inward expression of who they are. Everything from race, gender, occupation, orientation, religion, family, community and education make us who we are in many ways. Our identity can come from people and things that influence us. How we live and work can be a part of telling someone who we are. Sometimes our identity can be a trademark and sometimes it can be a liability. Our connections can identify who we are. Next time you take a look at your ID you can get a snapshot of who you are and where you come from. The most important thing is to be yourself as your primary identity.
Daily Prompt: Express
This word “Express” in my mind has two meanings I would like to explore quickly.
- I need to have something in my life very quickly so I am going to order it and have express shipping to get it here. Although it will cost me extra it’s so worth it.
- There is something I need to say and I am going to express how I feel about this, that and the other thing.
So as you see there are different ways of looking at the same word that can have different meanings. One is speed in receiving something and the other is sharing your thoughts. So if you look at the world we live in we are seeking fast ways of sharing what we think and hopefully they will buy into it.
Daily Prompt: Believe
If you have been coming around this here blog of mine you have seen a post or two about faith, religion, spirituality and that sort of thing. Yes, I am a believer, a believer in a loving and caring creator who is here to offer the world amazing things. God, Yahweh, Allah, Great Spirit no matter what your name for the creator is there is something to believe in if you are so inclined. (I love Jesus and I cuss a little, drink a little too).
Now I don’t believe in a creator who is destructive, mean-spirited and vengeful. We get enough of that from human beings who can and have used what they believe to marginalize people because they don’t fit in. It’s sad how many people have been tossed aside because their beliefs and faith aren’t what some people think it should be. I believe there can be a middle way or Via Media.
There is also the need to respect those who have chosen not to believe, although they seem to reflect the light and love in the god they don’t believe in better than those who believe. What you believe is your own business and what I believe in is a big table, a wide circle and there is room for more.
I love and respect you my blogging community. Believe it or not.
Daily Prompt: Fashionable
Being fashionable is more than clothing and jewelry and makeup and shoes. It’s about ones inside appearance that impacts how people view them. Fashionable means how you present what you do to the world. The clothing of your heart, the perfume of your soul, the shoes of your walk in the world. I see a lot of fashion plates who look amazing on the outside but they are just as lovely on the inside where I think it matters most.
Daily Prompt: Witty
Witty is about being funny. It’s also about being smart. Having your wits about you. Telling a joke is one form of being witty, something pithy, something intelligent. I think being witty is a way to share the truth that goes down like something sweet and cool. It’s good to be witty in the world we live in.
