#JusJoJan – January 4th, 2018 – Passionate

Day two of #JusJoJan!

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

Today the prompt is:

Your prompt for January 4th, 2018, brought to you by the ever-charming Rosemary Carlson, is “Passionate.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Rosemary at her blog, “Rosemary Carlson, Writer” to read her post and say hi!  😀 Here’s her link: https://rosemarycarlson.com

Thanks, Rosemary, for a great prompt word!

You can be passionate in so many ways, passionate in love, passionate about something you enjoy, passionate about your beliefs.

I am passionate about my family. I think that would come as no surprise to those of you who have followed me for so long. My family mean the world to me, and I can’t even fathom the thought of a life without them around me. My husband, my children, my parents, my siblings and their families… Without them, I wouldn’t be the me that I am…

I am passionate about my job. Teaching is a vocation, or so I believe, and I go through so much stress at work, but I wouldn’t change it, because ultimately, what I do shapes the futures of those children in my class.

I passionately believe that a smile is the cure for everything. When you smile, even if you are down, certain hormones are released that help with happiness. If you are smiling, even the toughest situations feel just a little easier to handle. Equally, if you smile at someone else, you never know, that smile may have been the positive sign they were looking for, to make their day better.

And right now I feel passionate about my bed… the sickness bug has hit our household, as of 5 am this morning, so there are at least two of us hugging bins/buckets/sinks/toilets… wonderful start to the new term…

No school for me today, methinks…..

See you tomorrow!

#JusJoJan Daily Prompt – Jan. 22nd/17 – Contempt

Day 22 of Linda’s #JusJoJan challenge, hosted today by my dear blog sis Judy! Do you know her? She is great! A fantastic poet, and the sweetest heart! Check her blog, Edwina’s Episodes out here!

The Just Jot It January 22nd prompt, brought to you by Rosemary  of Rosemary Carlson, Freelance Writer, is: “contempt.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. And make sure you stop by and say hi to Rosemary as well! Here’s her blog: https://rosemarycarlson.com/

Contempt.

It’s a pretty harsh word to use, isn’t it?

Hate, despisement, disdain, scorn, abhorrence…

They all mean more or less the same thing.

I really don’t like to use those words in my life, to be honest.

I’d much rather use the more wishy-washy “don’t like” or “not too fond of” phrases. (In reality of course, because when it comes to my writing, the words above are much more powerful!)

So here is a little haiku to tie it up.

Eyes filled with contempt
Impossible to forget
A burning hatred inside

And Sacha Black’s #Writespiration prompt.

So without further ado, the first writespiration of 2017, 52 words exactly and you need to include the phrase…

The timer started

So, here goes…!

The timer started.

She looked ahead.

A clear path.

She looked back

No one near.

Then she began.

Ran like lightning.

The goal tangible.

This was it.

Gold was hers.

A car driving past woke her from her daydream.

Looking up, all she saw was the country road stretched out in front…
