Pranks...

Well tomorrow is April fools day - so in that spirit - today I want you to write about a prank or joke you played on someone. Did they fall for it hook, line, and sinker or were you busted? Write about it.

Dentists...

Personally they make my blood turn cold!!! How do you feel about Dentists? Do you have a good or bad experience to tell - or is it just one of those things you have to do? Write about it.

Ouch!

Have you ever needed stitches? What was the incident? Do you remember much of what happened or do you know it through stories from you parents or friends? Write about it!

Chores....

What chores were you responsible for when you were a child? Did you have animals you had to take care of, or maybe it was your job to do the dishes? Were there any chores you enjoyed doing what about any you detested? Write about it!

Seasons...

What is your favorite time of year and why?

Hitching A Ride...

These days hitch hiking can be a scary proposition. But there was a time when it was okay to catch a ride with a complete stranger and you might even mhave met some very interesting people. Have you ever hitch hiked? Do you have a story that goes along with the event? Tell you story!

Leaving on a jet plane....

Okay - first some administration....I am headed out of town for 10 days and I don't know if I will have an internet connection. So if you don't see posts for a few days don't assume that the blog is no longer. So while I am gone I want you to keep a 10 day dairy of everything you do. Make it an indept look at your everyday so called life - this will be a great way for you to remember the ordinary.

Now on to today - how do you feel about flying. Do you love it or hate it. Do you think air planes are an amazing invention and the closest you can get to being a bird, or a necessary evil that get you from one place to the other fastest? Are you a pilot? Ever you ever dreamed of becoming a pilot? Write about it!

Brought to tears....

What really touches you? What makes you stop and think about how precious life is and how lucky you really are? For me, I have been reading the story of a young mother that recently lost her battle with cancer. Death always saddens me, however, this woman had two small girls just slightly younger than my own. It really made me stop and think about how preciously life is and if I don't slow down I am going to miss some of the most important moments in my young girls lives.

Okay I know I said I wasn't going to do anything but provide journaling prompts on this blog - it isn't a place for me to express my views - and promise I will return to our regularly scheduled program shortly. And I am not asking for you to do anything or donate anything promise - this story just prompted me to stop and think about the big picture a bit and inspired this prompt.

So - write about what touches you or motivates you to stop and think about the big picture! Thanks for letting me ramble today!

Spring Ahead...

Well tonight we 'spring ahead' to daylight savings time - at least here where I live and most of the world...is this a significant event to you - or does it just mean you loose an hour of sleep? I always feel as though I have more energy and I can get more done in the day because it stays light later!!! What about you - or is this really just a non event for you - just a pain to have to re-set all the clocks?

Night Visitors...

Well I was up 5 times with my youngest dd last night - so that is what prompts this post. When you were growing up did you wake up a lot at night? Was it just sleeplessness or did you have nightmares? What did you do - did you wake up your parents, or just lay in bed until you fell asleep again? What about now - do you have trouble sleeping at night? What do you do when you can't sleep? Write about it!!!

Illness aka the sickies!

When illness strikes your house whether it is you or a family member how do you handle it(Can you tell my kids are sick today)? If it is you do you stay in bed all day or are you a mom and it is true mom's don't get sick days? If it is a family member what is the 'take care them' protocol? How did your mom or dad (or caregiver) take care of you when you were young?

News...

It use to be you purchased a newpaper from the local newboy on the corner, then there was home deliver and the nightly news on TV, now you can get your news any way you want, newpaper, cable news, network news, internet, etc. So today I want you to write about two things. First how did you and your parents get your news growing up, and was this an important part of the day? Second, how do you get your news today and again is it an important part of your day?

Yesterday...

It is another document your life/day - entry...I want you to write about your day yesterday - good, bad, or ugly - what did you do, where did you go, how did you feel. It doesn't have to be earth shattering - just a glimps at your everyday life!

Heatlh...

How would you like to improve your health? Would you improve you fitness level, eating habits, sleeping habits, or maybe all three? Is there another area of health you would improve? Write about it!

Picture This...

Do you like to record your 'history' with words or pictures? Do you take a ton of pictures and are trying to 'document' or 'scrapbook' them? Or do you prefer to record the events of your life in words - why is it important to you? Why do you choose the method that you use?

Performing Arts

What types of performing arts do you like to see? Do you like the theater, symphony, ballet, maybe it is a comedy show, or a opera? What do you like and why? Also write about a recent or memorable performance you attended.

1st of March...

So what does the first of the month mean to you? I am always anxious to flip the calendar page - it is kind of like wiping the slate clean to start new again! What feeling or thoughts does the first of March bring to mind? Do you have anything exciting planned for this month? Write about it!
