Animal Comparison
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
A cat because there remains in them a sense of freedom to do things their way.
Nature’s Haiku by L. M. Montes
A lone flower wilts,
Sun shifts beams smiling upon
its petals giving life.
Rain pelts earthly growth,
too much washes life away,
leaves mud it its wake.
Bright skies lift spirits,
breezes sing sweet songs of joy,
now warmth reigns anew.
Woosh of waves soften
sleepy sand as it hastens
building dunes upright.
Dreamy pink hazy
lands of slumber kiss eyelids
closed as night reclines.
Get Back Up
It is all too easy to become discouraged when something you are excited about and go for does not go the way you thought it would. The easy thing to do in this case is to sink in that discouragement and to give up. BUT…do you really want to do that? Would it make you feel better to give up? No, it wouldn’t. You would end up feeling worse. Trust me, you don’t want to feel worse. You want to feel better.
So how are you going to feel better? Make a list of ideas (brainstorm) you haven’t tried, and try them. You can also employ the assistance of others. Most people love to help. If it is something you really want bad enough, no amount of discouragement will bring you down or make you quit. Very few people get what they strive for over night. They have to work for it through blood, sweat, and tears. They keep trying, Eventually, they find what works for THEM. Keep in mind also, what works for others might not work for you.
When I was writing my first novel, there were times I gave up. BUT, later I went back to it because I wanted it bad enough. I am so glad I did.
Letter to My 100 Year Old Self
Write a letter to your 100-year-old self.
Dear Me,
If you’re reading this, it means you lived a long life due to learning from your mistakes. Way to go.
Tented Worlds by L. M. Montes
In tented worlds away from those who see
hazards of life yet choose to live it,
eyes drift alone and gaze skyward
with thoughts surfing waves of fantasy,
they are here but never here
forever moving from there to there,
fraught with distance a foot away
from those who choose to live.
Forward by L. M. Montes
Three steps forward
two steps back,
each day on track
but ends so wayward,
trudging onward
with my pack,
God has my back
forever forward.
Shopping Spree
Where would you go on a shopping spree?
I’d go to Barnes and Noble without a doubt.
Last Learned
What is the last thing you learned?
The last thing I learned was real estate.
My New Short Stories Page
I have created a new page for my short stories. There you will find all of my short stories listed with all of their parts. As I was going through all of my posts, I realized how difficult it might be for my readers to find all parts to my short stories due to the fact that I write them in parts. Add to that the fact that I wait a few days before posting another part, making it hard to find for readers new to my blog. SO…..what I did was create a page for just my short stories. I will still post them in parts every few days as usual on my blog. BUT at the same time I will also post a part on the short stories page so all parts can be read without the thrill of the hunt through over 500 other blog posts. You can find my short stories page by clicking the button below.
