Scribble Picnic: Lantern
This week’s prompt at #Scribblepicnic is LANTERN. It’s funny that I love lanterns. We have always had a couple of them around. At our cottage we used them quite a bit when the power went out. Learning to trim the wick, add the oil and not touch the glass when it has been lit were… Continue reading Scribble Picnic: Lantern
Abandon: Five Minute Friday
We are given 5 minutes to write without editing on a word every week. This week’s word is ABANDON. Sometimes I want to abandon what I am doing. I ask myself why am I doing this?

Weak: Five Minute Friday
Weak: Five Minute Friday Only five minutes to write about my thoughts on the word of the week – which is weak. I set the timer and start writing. There had been many times that I felt, “I just can’t do” something. That’s when I used to lean on God. I have changed. Now I lean… Continue reading Weak: Five Minute Friday
