Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Promising
A new year is dawning and its promising to be one of mystery and opportunity. Like every new year we have the chance to make it something special. However as promising as it might be there will be challenges along the way.
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Imagination
Imagination can fuel solutions to a lot of problems. It can be the driving force of creativity. For a child it can help them dream and sometimes survive their circumstances. Magic contains a lot of imagination and vice versa. Just think about where our world would be without the stream of consciousness known as imagination.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Stunning
It’s amazing when people who you know change so much that it is stunning to your system. I am seeing this a lot on Facebook where friends are belligerent and mean spirited.

The world is full of stunning situations and people these days.
Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Renegade
Something a little different here….
He was a good kid. Raised by a good family. Went to the neighborhood church. He went to school every day. He did what was expected for the most part. However he saw things in the world differently. He began to think for himself. He became a social justice warrior and a social justice worrier too. He became a black sheep, a weirdo, a renegade of sorts. The thing about it is that his life led him to be who he is today; a believer, a blogger, a person with his heart on his sleeve.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Zealous
Zealous, this is a word I am all too familiar with. In my life I have been known to be overly zealous about this, that or the other thing. My enthusiasm and zeal to advance a cause, be a part of something or doing my work have been what I am known for. The problem is that being too zealous can get you into trouble because you might miss something important or perhaps impact ones relationships when you really want to be involved with people or things. Call it the geek/nerd in me that wears his heart and soul on his sleeve. I think I have calmed down in the past year or so but there is still a part of me who will always remain zealous.
