In a few hours the world will renew itself and ring in the new year of 2017. Every year is a new set of opportunities to do things to make our lives and the lives of others better. Perhaps it’s also a time to right some wrongs and do things better or different. Renewal comes in many forms and is very personal. I am hoping for global renewal despite the political forces that are at play. Cleansing, purging, clearing can be a renewal and restoration of space and place. Many need spiritual and emotional renewal in the coming year. No matter what we all need some renewal in mind, body and soul. Think of a new calendar as a clean slate that can give us all a second chance.

Daily Prompt: Anticipation
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. Most importantly is the anticipation of reunion with family and to fill our hearts with love and thanks. There is also the anticipation of shopping on Black Friday too.
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.
Daily Prompt: Transformation
Transformation means change, to be made into something new. When you evolve and grow than transformation is inevitable. Being transformed means allowing yourself to become something better or different from what was before. The butterfly goes from a larvae into something beautiful. It is important to know that transitioning from one thing to another is a painful process sometimes but it can be worth it in the end. Change means leaving things behind in hopes for better things ahead.
Daily Prompt: Clumsy
Being clumsy can come about from doing too many things at one time. It also means that we could be distracted about something. Whether it be spilled coffee, dropping a dish or tripping over your shoelaces being clumsy comes from being human. Everyone has their moments when clumsiness takes over.
