I'm so very far behind. I had such good intentions, but real life gets in the way of computer life. That's ok. Real life is oh so much more enjoyable! Now on to the prompts that I missed this weekend. Let's see if there even is anything worth writing about. Perhaps I should just decide whether to stay with this or go on to something else?
Friday's prompt: Talk about the word "doubt."
I doubt myself all the time. I question my ability to do a good job. I doubt my feelings and wonder if I'm the only one in the world that feels what I feel. I doubt whether to continue with this blogging process since I can't seem to stick with it daily. But then I hear the still small voice inside me that says, keep going. You know what you are doing. It's ok others feel like you and I move along again.
Today's prompt: What is something you feel uncertain about right now?
Is pretty much the same as Friday's isn't it. Not much new to add

Whether
today's prompt "Whether" can mean "which of two." Present two alternatives for your readers.
I'm often torn between whether to do chores or fun stuff (crafts, computer, whatever). the fun stuff often wins. Though there was a period of time when neither won and I would stare off into space and really do nothing. That was not a good period o my life and I'm so thankful that I get to have the choice these days.

Truth or Ignorance?
today's prompt : Would you rather always know the truth or remain blissfully ignorant sometimes?
I've been living in ignorance for far too long. I'd rather have the truth no matter how painful because you can't change what you don't acknowledge. And you can't acknowledge something until you have the whole truth. A partial truth is the same as a complete lie. I can handle almost anything, but my trust is shattered and it takes a lot to get it back if you have ever lied to me.

Sunday Musings and catch up day
Prompt for Friday : Would you rather lose your blog or lose your photographs?
My blog is not nearly as important as my photos. I have my pictures in so many places, just in case the worst happens. They are on my computer, they are backed up on carbonite, they are on an external drive, some are on Facebook and other photo sites. I burn dvd's regularly of family vacations and give them to other family members for them to enjoy so I know I could get copies from them as well. Nothing more important on my computer than my photos.

Reminder for myself - blog button
Just a little reminder for myself on how to make my own blog button if I so choose.

memories or dreams?
Would you rather have a video copy of your dreams or a datebook that contains the events of every day of your life?
My dreams are not something I'd like to see. I have no guarantees that they would all be pleasant to watch. However there are so many days in my everyday life that I don't remember. Knowing what has actually happened in my life as compared to what I remember (or don't remember) would be very interesting. I'd like to know the difference between what my brain has done to protect me and what the truth is.
Would you rather have more blog readers or more blog comments?
I guess it doesn't matter to me. Either would be fine. Right now I have more readers and very few comments. I'm good.

invisible or flight?
Today's prompt is Would you rather have invisibility or the ability to fly?
My first reaction was to be invisible. The idea intrigued me to be able to watch life without having to participate in it because no one could see me. But then I began to think about all the times I have been hurt because I felt invisible. Nobody saw me, no one cared that I was there or was in pain. Or even worse they saw me and ignored me anyway... I don't want to be invisible.
Flying would free me from the constraints of mankind. No longer forced to follow a predetermined path. Not held back by traffic, red lights and stop signs. To be able to just go over obstacles in my path and to continue on the journey I choose instead of being forced into another man made detour. To be able to get a "birds eye view" of the world. To see the world from a new perspective and away from the narrow view of my human life. To soar on wings as eagles!

the fifth already? oh my
I am already behind the blogging and I just started! Ok the prompt for Friday was "Would you rather make your own choices or have someone make them for you?"
I have spent years being determined to make my own destiny. Make all my own choices. And like Dr. Phil would say, "how's that workin' out for you?" - Sometimes not so good. I have recently let go of some big stuff I was holding on to. Gave it to God and asked him to take my life. Make the decisions for me. I have never felt so calm and peaceful. I thought giving up control would send me into chaos, but it hasn't.
Today's prompt is "Would you rather travel to space or go deep into the ocean?"
That's an easy one - space travel for sure. I have never been 100% comfortable in the water. I'm good up at the surface. Bobbling along peacefully right at the top. But diving in deep is way out of my comfort zone. So, since it is the most uncomfortable for me... I will be choosing go deep into the ocean. I'm challenging my fears and hoping they make me a stronger person. With God's help I can do anything.

first writing prompt
Thursday, March 1, 2012
How do you feel about uncertainty? Is it exciting or scary?
I'm going to try to follow the writing prompts....lets see how this first one goes.
Uncertainty is scary most of the time. I live in a world that I like to keep orderly. I make lists. Even when my house is a bit messy, I know where everything is. There is a bit of order to it. This pile is bills, that one is for taxes, another is for an upcoming event. I like to know what is coming. And then something will happen out of the blue to turn my whole world upside down. Now I need to take on this scary thing and turn it into a challenge, I make it exciting by trying to figure out how to put it into my organized life. That is the excitement, the wrestling with the new thing until either it fits into my life, or I change my life to fit the new situation. Either way I feel better when I go back into a place of order. I cannot live in chaos.
