 Gratitude breaks the spell of Writers Block |
|
Staring at a blank page is like staring into a snowfield. The snow, untouched by civilization and unmarked by living creatures, blinds you for a few minutes, it glistens reflecting subtle shades of pure white and rainbows at odd angles. If you stare at the snow too long, you get lost in the interplay of light and shadow. As the day wears on, you become awestruck at the beauty of the snow's perfection. You marvel at the way an oak tree cast its ebony shadow across the pure white snow. You watch the tree's shadow change, grow and shrink, as Earth turns and the sun moves from morning to evening. If you stand out in the snow too long without moving, you risk snow bite or freezing. If you are fortunate, a red fox will walk across your line of sight. The fox will leave his footprints written in the snowfield. As you watch the fox move, the spell holding you in one spot staring at the snow is broken. You are free to go inside out of the cold and out of danger. I must say, writing 500 words a day isn't difficult, unless I'm attempting to write on a single subject. On Monday, October 28, 2013, I began posting my weekly goals at "Weekly Goals"  . On Tuesday, October 29, 2013 I began keeping track of may accomplished goals in this journal."O SON OF BEING! Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds." Bah'u'll'h The Hidden Words of Bah'u'll'h, Part I.'From the Arabic, #31, page 11 'Heinlein's Rules for Writers Rule One: You Must Write Rule Two: Finish What Your Start Rule Three: You Must Refrain From Rewriting, Except to Editorial Order Rule Four: You Must Put Your Story on the Market Rule Five: You Must Keep it on the Market until it has Sold' Robert A. Heinlein It is enjoined upon every one of you to engage in some form of occupation, such as crafts, trades and the like. We have graciously exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship unto God, the True One. Ponder ye in your hearts the grace and the blessings of God and render thanks unto Him at eventide and at dawn. Waste not your time in idleness and sloth. Occupy yourselves with that which profiteth yourselves and others. Thus hath it been decreed in this Tablet from whose horizon the day-star of wisdom and utterance shineth resplendent. Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed After the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Pages 21-29: gr 32 I changed the way I did entries in this book several times. Beginning on March 21, 2018 the entries will cover the topics of spiritual, inspirational, and religions. However, the genres it will be under are Women's, Inspirational, and Spiritual with a tag of Religious. |
Kamál (Perfection), 10 Jalál (Glory),), 147 BE - Monday, April 17, 2017 CE about 2:55 PM Pacific Daylight Time I spent part of the morning at the dermatologist office. I had my regular doctor give me a referral because of a couple of places on my face that I thought might be a problem. They aren't, but while I was there I showed her my left leg and she said the problem is a specific type of dermatitis. She wrote a prescription for some cream to put on it for two weeks at a time. I'll pick up the prescription on Wednesday or Thursday. I suppose before I do anything else, I need to post my goals on "Weekly Goals" Goals for the Week of April 17-21, 2017  Submit daily poem to "Dew Drop Inn" . Work on poems for "Prince Musical Writing Challenge Contest" and finish at least 3 more. Mail Faye's letter to my caseworker. Do 48 Hour Challenge. Review at least four items a day with 1 written by a newbie.I unsubscribed to Jobs2Shop because it finally dawned on me that it was a con. They were never going to payout anything I earned. I don't have time to waste on a con so I unsubscribed. I have enough frustration with surveys that will payout without increasing the frustration and my blood pressure by dealing with a con. I also opted out of GetPaidToTry because it's another con. I've attempted sending for things from them and never received it. There were a few things I didn't put in my goals for this week. I have to fill out paper work for the power bill. I also need to begin to say the prayer of protection revealed by the Bab. Whenever I say that prayer on a daily basis everything works out and I'm less worried. |
Kamál (Perfection), 10 Jalál (Glory),), 147 BE - Monday, April 17, 2017 CE Prompt: a blue Monday or a manic Monday, your pick Monday April 17, 2017 Sparrow greet the day Joyfully proclaim their love For another week Blue Monday is out of the question because I can't be depressed with sparrows singing in the pine trees. The Lyft driver smiled He arrived on time and drove Safely to my appointment. Manic Monday doesn't apply either because I'm in no hurry to get anywhere; in fact, the only thing I want this morning is another cup of coffee. Beautiful Monday The day of perfection and Pleasant memories The rest of the week my fall apart and crumble into chaos, but Monday began with me, the Lyft drivers and the birds in a good mood. |

You kept hope, prayed, and that paid off.
Only bush honeysuckle in bloom. It's not very fragrant. The intoxicating vines bloom later. But we have lilacs... until this heat roasts them.
