“Papering over a crack merely conceals, it doesn’t make it disappear.” – Ritu

By this, I mean that you really need to try and be open about your worries or problems, with one person at least. Only then will you have the chance to possibly fix a broken relationship or issue.

The more you keep bottled up, the worse things become in your head, often they become bigger monsters than they really are, then they can be impossible to tackle.

Don’t stick your head in the sand, hoping things will go away…

Talk about it.

For Linda’s #1LinerWeds Challenge and #JusJoJan.

Fancy roleplay
Acting, feeling, faking
Imagining I’m a star
Perform

I’m entertaining
Such imaginary thoughts
Do no good to me
Sometimes I overthink things
Making mountains of molehills

Faking feeling it
Imagining you hit it
Pretending pleasure

Day sixteen of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 16th, 2018, brought to you by the multi-talented Cheryl, is “Contemplation.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Barb at her blog, “The Bag Lady” (sounds good to me!) to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://rugby843.blog/

Thanks, Cheryl!

An acrostic poem for today!

Contemplation

Clear your mind
Om
Neutralise your thoughts
Take a deep breath
Exhale slowly
Meditate
Positive thoughts
Lifting away negativity
All-encompassing
Thinking
Introspection
Observation
New life starts now.

See you tomorrow!

These dried, pressed flowers
Holding memories yet too
Delicate to touch

Requiring touch to

Day fifteen of #JusJoJan!

I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 15th, 2018, brought to you by the lovely Barb, is “Justice.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Barb at her blog, “Gallimaufry” (sounds good to me!) to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://barbct.wordpress.com/

Thanks, Barb!

Justice

What is justice?

Is it the act of seeing balance restored?

Combatting an act of evil, with a suitable punishment?

Or is it a more acceptable word to use to describe revenge?

A legal way to see a person brought to rights?

That’s it, my thoughts on Justice!

See you tomorrow!
