Linda’s prompt this morning for #SoCS:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “guess.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
That Linda, eh, really kept us guessing last night!
I am so used to her email pinging into my inbox on a Friday night, giving me my prompt for the #SoCS challenge.
But she kept us waiting!
I started to get a little concerned, as she is generally pretty reliable when it comes to these prompt posts!
I even visited her site several times, right up until I fell asleep, just in case the gremlins that work for WP had decided that I wasn’t worthy of email notifications … it happens sometimes, we all know that.
I confirmed that I hadn’t unfollowed her by mistake too.
Then I gave, up and went to sleep, hoping that the post would be up when I woke, and that email would be there waiting for me!
And it was! Turns out she was fine, just actually has a life beyond blogging! (I do too, honest!)
Phew!
It threw me a little because I am so used to sitting and allowing my stream of consciousness to take over late on a Friday, so you have a post ready and waiting to read early on Saturday!
Just a stickler for routine, I guess! (And a bit of an addict!)

Sue’s prompt for this week’s #WritePhoto:

Today, no poems or prose. No stories or tales.
No stories or tales.
Just a sense of calm, peace and wellbeing.
Looking at the above photo brings me all that.
An idyllic location to lose yourself for a while, to sit and think about all, or nothing.
Viewing the world around you, the vast landscapes ahead, the endless sky above, you realise just how small you really are.
A tiny piece of this universe, a speck.
But how often do you take the time to just look, and reflect?
