Today was a typical day of getting up, preparing lunch, eating breakfast and going to work then coming home. All these things are personally typical, but life is typically chaotic in a broader, global sense. Some things you can control like yourself, while other stuff, not so much. You do the best you can to make the world a better place. Hopefully good works will always be a typical part of the day. I would like typical and routine over the alternative, I don’t mind boring.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Scroll
The word of the day is scroll. A scroll can refer to a roll of paper, parchment, or other material, especially one with writing on it. We don’t see many scrolls these days.
However, it’s most referred to the action of advancing content up or down on a screen. It seems like we all do a lot of scrolling on our devices screens. Sometimes it’s to find something important. Other times it’s just to pass the time. That is when we seem to have a problem.
Keeping up with what is going on can be an obsession. Here we are just scrolling our lives away because we have a fear of missing out. To that, I say don’t let your scrolling get in the way of living a good life.
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Enthusiast
Everyone is enthusiastic about something. So with that being said, that makes them an enthusiast. We all have things that make our lives better and fun.
For me, it’s several things, like church, blogging, geek life, nerd stuff, and more. I am also a Canadphile where I like all things about True North. I think it’s great to have things in life you can share with others, and that can make it more fun and foster connections.
What are you an enthusiast about?
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Parishoner
I am a churchgoer. I have been a Baptist, Methodist and now Episcopalian. Church has been an important part of my life. So that makes me a parishioner. That word to me is about community, responsibility, and discipleship. This word I think is about inclusion, or it should be. Parishioners are about worship to a higher power or God if you will. They are also about service to one another. Being a parishioner is also a calling. It is about abiding in God’s love and the call to the people who gather in divine presence.
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Middle Aged
As a person in his 50s, I am certainly middle-aged. My sense of humor gravitates to that of a fifteen-year-old boy, it’s still hard to believe I am middle-aged. My body does tell me a different story there. Stuff hurts, and I need my bifocals to read almost everything.
I still listen to the music of my youth (the 70s and 80s). I try to keep up with what is going on these days to stay somewhat relevant. Being conversant with multiple generations is a good thing.
Being middle-aged, especially as a member of Generation X can be fun at times. Our history has let us see a lot of innovation and changes in the world. Like any era in history, you have got to roll with the punches and be flexible. Getting older is not for the feint of heart, though.
Daily Prompt -Sleep Edition
I go to bed usually at 11 PM on weekdays. I wake up when either my bladder tells me to or the alarm goes off around 5:45. I am using a CPAP it does help but when nature calls you can’t ignore that. Now on weekends bedtime has a little more fluidity and an alarm is only set when there are things to do on Saturday and on Sunday I am up early to make it to church.
