What is truly maddening is having a goal and not being able to reach it. It’s also doing the same things over and over again and expecting something new to come of it. A dog chasing its tail to no avail. Driving through stop and go traffic when you are late to get to an appointment. Frustration over a situation you find yourselves kind of stuck in. Much of life is maddening it’s just the way it is.

Turkey and dressing, corn and sweet potatoes. Ham and cornbread. Pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce. Anticipation of the tastes of the season await. Thanksgiving in America is tomorrow and we are all waiting to fill our plate and to fill our bellies.

Daily Prompt: Scorched
Everyone gets burned in their lives and its deep within but other times we are scorched and the burn becomes more visible, apparent by the look on someones face. Scorching means to burn superficially something as to discolor or damage it. That heat can transform something into a beautiful thing or ruin it forever. We all go through trials that can burn us deeply or show people we have been through the fire and we are better for it.
Daily Prompt: Percolate
Every good thing takes time. Thoughts, coffee and ideas. Like coffee percolates so do the things in our mind. A good brew takes beans, water, heat and some steam to make something delicious. So today as we work may good things percolate to fill our coffee cups and our spiritual chalaces. May you get your fill of things that are percolating today.
Daily Prompt: Filthy
Filthy is kind of like a onomatopoeia, a word that sounds like itself. Being filthy is a byproduct of dirty work of various kinds. It also means doing something guilty that makes you feel filthy on the inside. I can remember times when being filthy meant I was helping others do some heavy lifting which was a good thing. Then there is being filthy rich where you are wealthy. Being filthy means getting dirty in a lot of ways. So I suppose being filthy can be a negative or positive thing depending on what you are doing.
Daily Prompt: Lofty
Everyone has some sort of goal in life. For some they are very lofty, very ambitious. To have that sort of idea requires lots of work, dedication, persistence and perspiration. A lofty goal can also be one that is unattainable and unrealistic but there are people who are working to make their dreams come true.
Then there are people who are of a status that puts them in their minds above everyone else. They treat people as less than and have a superiority complex.
Great speakers are gifted in their oratory and eloquence as they inspire people to ascend to new heights and to be something better. They can challenge people to rise up to a challenge and to achieve something great.
