From what I am seeing these days we need to infuse some hope, optimism and more importantly love into life. So many things have gotten us down that we need something to lift us up. Infusing good things into our lives will make things better I think. We need something to make things better for all. What you put into something can make the difference. An infusion of positivity can do amazing things and can change people fundamentally.

Daily Prompt: Denial
There is a saying that Cleopatra is the Queen of Denial (a take off of The Nile River) and most people are in denial about something in their lives. We don’t want to admit anything is wrong or something is not going to happen that will impact our lives. Denial isn’t a healthy thing because we don’t want to recognize that there are things in our lives that are not as they seem and should be. People get into a cycle of denial where they are living in a state of belief that nothing is wrong. Reality can kill denial and force us all to admit there is something that we need to take care of lest it harms us mentally, emotionally or spiritually.
Daily Prompt: Acceptance
I am a people pleaser, It’s a part of who I am. Acceptance is something many strive for because we want to be liked. I know what having a low self-esteem is like and I want to be sure others in my life are accepted for who they are. We live in a world where people are seeking community and connections so acceptance is vital to making them feel wanted and needed, I know I am.
Love and inclusion are in my mind essential parts of being human. As Sally Field once said in her Academy Awards acceptance speech “you like me, you really like me” and that is so important to be liked. I would also say don’t do something against your better angels in order to fit into a crowd that would be harmful, that’s not good for you.
Daily Prompt: Pattern
We all have habits. Things we do as a routine. Life is a pattern of activity where people can be predictable. A pattern can be a blueprint in making something too where you have to abide by boundaries and directions. Following a pattern can lead to success or lead to being in a rut.
Daily Prompt: #Resist #wordpressdotcom
There are a lot of things in this life we need to resist. Sometimes we can’t help ourselves though. To resist that second piece of cake or slice of pie takes will power. When you resist temptation it shows you have some strength and willpower. However in current events you have to resist people who seek to divide and to build walls. You have to resist people and systems that resolve to do harm and to promote ideas and ideologies that are not a part of ones values. I resist power that seeks to deny everyone the right to live their lives and to love who they choose. Resist destruction, resist being afraid, resist allowing yourself to things that can harm you and others.
Daily Prompt: Automatic
Modern conveniences have made doing things almost automatic. Everything from paying bills to doing our mundane activities. We don’t like to have to think about stuff but when we do we like it to be as labor free as possible. I just wanna live my life as carefree as possible which. Not everything can be on auto pay or auto renew. We have to use our brains and to not be so lazy. However when we can we have to take advantage of the new fangled things to keep us going and to simplify an already complex life.
