We all have our own views and ways of doing things. Keeping an open mind is sometimes difficult especially when you find comfort in the old ways. For me keeping an open mind has given me opportunities to find out more about myself. There are situations where opening my ears, mind and heart has provided me a new way of life and has led me to places and people I would have never imagined. As you grow older you find yourself in situations where you wanna keep the status quo but that isn’t what life is really supposed to be about. Trying new things can expand your thinking and leads you to new places and spaces.

Daily Prompt: Vice
Vice is defined as a moral depravity or corruption. It’s a flaw or weakness. Some people have their vices they struggle with and some things they embrace. A vice is also a thing that holds something in place using a heavy clamp as seen above. Then there is having your head in that same vice which always hurts, figuratively speaking. You don’t want to be busted by the vice squad of a police department. Being a Vice President is a pretty cool job. So as you see the word vice has many meanings. I think people who are left to their own devices can get into trouble or do amazing things. What’s your vice?
Daily Prompt: Mistake
In my almost 47 years I have made plenty of mistakes. Some more serious than others but they are still things I did intentionally or unintentionally depending on the situation. Being a human being I am not perfect and never will be. I sometimes make the same mistakes over and over again because I am crazy enough to hope for better outcomes the next time around. We all have a responsibility to own up to our mistakes because the wrong things we do have an impact on the people we know and love. Confession can help you deal with life’s mistakes. Never be so proud to say you are sorry and try, try, try not to do it again.
Daily Prompt: Youth
This is my birthday weekend and on Monday I will be 47 years old. Youth is a state of mind in as much as it’s a reality of the moment of time in which you are. Aging is inevitable, everyone grows and gets older. Youth shall be served but youth is fleeting. Being young seems to be harder in some ways and easier in others. It’s all a part of the choices you make, the people you associate with and who you want to be as you go on through life. Enjoy your youth. It’s important. Remember your youth, remember the good, shake off the bad.
Daily Prompt: Learning
Life is about growing up, growing old and learning how to navigate it all. We grow and get smarter by the things we learn in school, from others and the lessons the world teaches you every day. Learning is about opening your heart and mind to the intellectual opportunities that comes your way. We should be about learning from one another daily. Experience is painful but its the best way of learning something that will keep you going. Learning can keep you living, alive, vibrant. The seasons have a way of informing us what we need to know. Keep on learning everyone.
Daily Prompt: Moon
The Moon is a far away place, it keeps our gravity in check. Like a teenager it has phases that shows itself in different ways through time and space. It is a satellite for our Earth. Werewolves and Vampires kind of like the moon because they can transform in its glow. Lovers use it as an inspiration for romance. Men have walked upon its surface to explore Tranquility. Some will drop their drawers which is a different type of moon. There is also a quarterback with that name. Moon is also in the 7th house as Jupiter is aligned with mars. The moon is a great place.
