May 8th Prompt: Pick your top 10 values and rank them based on their importance to you. Write about the values. Have any changed throughout your life.

         Only ten values? Hmmm...

         1. Joy/Love/ Happiness: Loving and being loved is the basis of my happiness. I believe it does make the world go 'round. It is exhilirating and dizzying, plus I cannot envision a life without it.

         2.Articulacy: There's nothing like communication. Voicing thoughts of love, approval, disapproval, support,anger, and more are critical to our emotional health. Expressing myself so that I am understood is important. Understanding others is crucial. We are complicated and being able to express ourselves unites us.

         3.Sincerity:I think of this as being genuine and real.Life is short. Why waste it with deceit and subterfuge? Speak your truth.

         4. Curiosity:There is so much to experience and explore. Ask questions. Listen. Attempt. Travel, meet new people. Taste new foods. Stretch your mental and physical muscles. I believe I have my entire life to learn.

         5. Humour/ Silliness: I've always been drawn to humour and I love to laugh. I tend to see the silly and the absurd. Laughter , like a smile, is universal. It has no language barrier.

         6.Creativity: I appreciate the ability to create. I see it as positivity personified. Artwork speaks to me. It is magic. Weaving words into a story, carving wood, shaping metal, combining fabrics, recreating an image with paints, stringing musical notes and more, all are creative pursuits.

         7. Imagination:As a writer, I depend upon this. It's fun! I think and create beyond my everyday life. Anything is possible.

         8.Education: I believe education is important. If I had not been taught to read and write my world would have been so small and stifling. I cannot fathom being unable to communicate.

         9.Independence: I value my self-reliance. I like making my own decisions.

         10.Perseverance:Never give up. Sometimes, bad things happen and adversity finds us. It's okay to struggle.
