Modern conveniences have made doing things almost automatic. Everything from paying bills to doing our mundane activities. We don’t like to have to think about stuff but when we do we like it to be as labor free as possible. I just wanna live my life as carefree as possible which. Not everything can be on auto pay or auto renew. We have to use our brains and to not be so lazy. However when we can we have to take advantage of the new fangled things to keep us going and to simplify an already complex life.

Daily Prompt: Simple
It’s amazing how hard it is to do something simply. We all like to complicate things unnecessarily. You take a look at the most simple things and you wonder how that was made or conceived. Some of the best things in life are just a few humble things thrown together that can make something spectacular. Simple doesn’t always mean boring though. Keeping things simple can be a challenge though.
Daily Prompt: Successful
Success is a personal thing. It is also measured by different standards according to the situations life has us in at any given moment. People define it by money, things, possessions and status but there seems to be more to it. The life you have built for yourself and how happy you are can be as much success as anything else. Don’t let someone define how successful you are because it’s your life and your rules.
Daily Prompt: Overworked
You know you are overworked when you see a lot of overtime on your check. People work more and harder to keep a roof over their heads. It’s not unusual to see people with 2 or more jobs. They are burning the candle at both ends and in the middle. Being overworked can lead to burnout and worse. Life is a constant struggle to make ends meet so being overworked and sometime over stressed in so many parts of life. The notion of working smarter means working harder because you have to. Maybe if more people did their part there wouldn’t be so many overworked people in the world.
Daily Prompt: Invitation
All you have to do is ask. There is an invitation to each of us for communion, companionship and community. Having an open door and an open mind allows new things into ones life. Everyone has an invitation to experience life in a new way if they just say yes. Too many times we say no to things that might change us for the better. There are opportunities in abundance to help others and you don’t need an invite for that, just keep your eyes and heart open and you will find your way. Life is a party and we should all have an invite to it.
Throwback Thursday #TBT – Squeeze – Tempted
This is the song I was referring to in my Daily Prompt post. Its a distinctly 1980’s song with a timeless feel. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the original video which I remember from back in the day.
