Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block |
Fiḍál (Grace), 3 Ayyám-i-Há (The Days of Há) 174 B.E. - Tuesday, February 27, 2018 I finished the post in "Welcome to My Life" for the February "Invalid Item" and the discussion topic for "Invalid Item" . So the only thing I have to do is to check the other responses in "Invalid Item" . I have, also, managed to keep up with the daily review. I still have to post in my offsite blog, but every time I think about it my mind goes blank. Perhaps I should attempt to write something in longhand tonight, so that I can post it in the morning. ‘Idál (Justice ), 4 Ayyám-i-Há (The Days of Há) 174 B.E. - Wednesday, February 28, 2018 I began this entry yesterday, and decided to combine the two entries rather than making another one. I finished some my February 26-March 2 goals yesterday. March is going to be an inspiring and busy month. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, March 5, to have my toenail cut; a task I can no longer do myself. March 2 is the first day of ‘Alá’ (Loftiness), which is the month of the Fast. Since I'm over 70, I don't have to fast between sunup and sundown. I will say the prayers revealed for the Fast. The 19-day fast ends at sunset on March 20. To Do List for March Review "Dear Me" within the first 9 Days of March. Enter "Stormy's poetry newsletter & contest" before March 23 deadline. Prompt Words: fears, transparent, heartache, passing, compassion, unspoken, wounds, time. Use the following divine attributes as themes for poems. Attributes of God from the Baha'i calender: (1) Months - Splendor, Glory, Beauty, Grandeur, Light, Mercy, Words, Perfection, Names, Might, Will, Knowledge, Power, Speech, Questions, Honor, Sovereignty, Dominion, and Loftiness. (2) Week Days - Beauty, Perfection, Grace, Justice, Majesty, Independence, and Glory. Participate in "Project Write World" . Participate in "Invalid Item" . Participate in "I Write in 2018" . Review. Participate in "Invalid Item" . Right now, the above list is the only specifics I have for March. Anything else will be added as it appears, and after I have participated in the contest/forums in the above list. Sometime in the coming year, 175 B.E., I want to use the 52 Virtues1, in the following list as themes for poems. Virtues: assertiveness, caring, cleanliness, commitment, compassion, confidence, consideration, cooperation, courage, courtesy, creativity, detachment, determination, diligence, enthusiasm, excellence, flexibility, forgiveness, friendliness, generosity, gentleness, helpfulness, honesty, honor, humility, idealism, integrity, joyfulness, justice, kindness, love, loyalty, moderation, modesty, orderliness, patience, peacefulness, perseverance, purposefulness, reliability, respect, responsibility, self-discipline, service, tact, thankfulness, tolerance, trust, trustworthiness, truthfulness, understanding, and unity.
