In response to "Burnout"

I think you are doing just the right thing. If we can't get out of a situation, we should at least make it more pleasant.

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

Since I joined WdC 5 weeks ago, I don't look at FB and Twitter much. Nothing can beat WdC!

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

Sorry to say I "waste" some time on FB too. I enjoy catching up on others' doings but like "Lady Lyn" wdc is my true love.

In response to "To post or not to post? Questions from a new generation."

I post everyday and share things with my family and friends, probably not my most intellectual side either but I really feel that the publisher is going to have accept that there are many aspects of me or he'll discover how ornery this old lady can be.

Facebook could disappear and I would be okay but if WDC did I would definitely have a break down.

It's good to see you blogging again.

In response to "Note-ations"

You could try going to parks or out for walks to increase your downtime without people that wouldn't bust your budget.

In response to "Loving Competition"

There are all different types of love indeed and the love between a mother and child is powerful.

Romeo and Juliet was required reading for me in school and because we were made to read it I stubbornly resisted connecting to it. I am not a fan of his writing.

We are lucky to have so many options available to fulfill our desire for love and different genre takes on it.

In response to "The 99%"

Eye-opening take on the 1%.

I just hope they can see it that way.

The gesture on his part says to me he valued you friendship. I am glad it turned out really nice for you both.

I remember those tampering scandles @fivesixer! Totally forgot about those...doubt those factored into my Mom's decision, expect to expound upon her point.

Serial firsts: love and fear.

Serial Prompt! Part One: Prompt for January 29, 2014 ("30-Day Blogging Challenge" ) is: Give me your best advice when trying something new. On the first day (today), tell me the story of when you tried something for the first time and failed. What did you do after that? On the second day (tomorrow), tell me about a future plan to try something new (a New Year's Resolution perhaps?). We all know writing down our goals can help in motivating us to achieve them - so don't delay! *Wink* Your blogging peers will support you!

In the fourth/fifth grade I won my classes spelling bee and was awarded the privilege to represent us in the school spelling bee. It was my first public speaking event I can remember. Parents were there and everything. No one wanted to go first so I puffed out my symbolic rooster chest and volunteered. I was the first one to spell a word....and the first one to sit down. Note to self: take deep breaths and remain calm.

What did I do after that? Well I became a writer of course.

---------
Which is a more powerful emotion: love or fear? Why do you think so?

Oooo which is primary, the chicken or the egg? Again, perhaps not the best analogy but then perhaps maybe. I say love because I'd rather love than fear, but if you truly love someone won't you fear losing them? And fear is very powerful, but master Yoda said that breeds anger and I don't want to lose my arms and legs and have to become a black cyborg. But if you fear something is it because you love the opposite of what makes you afraid?

I choose love.
