Poetry and short stories with a few daily quotes here and there!
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
Habits that improves my quality of life? Eating health foods and not processed food at all my meal times.
Trying to get seven to eight hours of sleep.
Sometimes, I exercise my body so it can be in better shape.
I read books and do word searches to keep my mind sharp, as well as play certain games.
Also, brushing my teeth and skin care will allow me to keep my teeth strong and my skin looking younger for a couple more years.
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
I searched for online and why I was looking for it?
Well, tonight is the tonight of the blue moon, so I was searching for my horoscope and how this moon may affect me. Even if the online predictions aren’t correct, it’s still something I keep coming back to. Then I saw an article about what time it would be, and unfortunately, I’ll be at work, but it is always interesting when different types of moons are happening once in a blue moon, which was corny but true for tonight’s moon. I like learning about new things, so that’s what I usually search for or click on anything exciting and unknown to me.
What TV shows did you watch as a kid?
Shows I watched as a kid were?
1. Rugrats 2. Bear and the Big Blue House
3. Bob the builder 4. Little Bear 5. Little Bill
6. Arthur 7. Franklin 8. Daria might have been a preteen watching this one; it was a little dark. 9. Out of the box 10. The Mickey Mouse Club, where Justin Timberlake, Brittany Spears, and Christina Aquilera started their singing journey.
11. Pepper Ann 12. Pinky and the Brain 13.Catdog 14. Rocket Power 15. As told by Ginger 16. Braceface 17. Hey Arnold 18. Recess
I think that’s all of them.
The photographer said.
So innocent and young I was
I felt strong and a little bit of a badass in my blue dress and cowboy hat.
The sun shining behind me
Setting the mood for this photo, yet all I can think of is “ow.” These rocks and grains are hurting my knee once the photo was taken.
I was helped up, and I brushed those darn little rocks away.
I know the shoot was great, but nothing great comes without a bit of pain.

What’s your favorite time of day?
Time of day?
It is the morning, for I love a beautiful sunrise, but I don’t always catch them as I don’t particularly appreciate getting up too early.
But I enjoy the morning because you wake up refreshed, your mind is clear, and you have hope that day will be a good day.
Also, the morning can feel like waking up as a child on Christmas morning. Anticipation of what’s under the tree is killing you, and you can’t wait anymore.
That’s me when I’m off, and I have so much to do, and I can’t wait to get up and start my day. As I lean more on self-care and meditation, I start journaling again and making time to listen to music and read. I enjoy my quiet mornings.
I am more centered throughout my day, which helps me keep my mood up, and when things don’t happen, I’m okay with it, for I can do it tomorrow.
How you drained me of my energy
Starting from my head to my whole body
Rest was all I wanted and all I could afford to do today.
There were moments of strength and weakness, and I moved as necessary.
I am glad to have this day of rest, as I look forward to getting something done tomorrow.
Today made me realize I needed to slow down and take my time or truly rest, for taking care of myself is essential.
I know what I need to do tomorrow, but for now, I will rest and focus on being in the present moment.
