Lying to Myself
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What’s a lie you tell yourself? I don’t tend to lie to myself about things. I’m pretty realistic most of the time. And even when I do try to lie to myself, I know it’s a lie. I know what the reality actually is. But I suppose if I must answer…

Jumping Into The Dream
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What was your dream job as a child? I didn’t think much about adulthood as a kid. I spent a lot of time reading, absorbing, and learning, but I didn’t wonder how any of that would translate into a method of making money in the future. I was content with just…

We’re old hippies at heart, you see.…

Oh That Smell
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? I could probably think of many smells that evoke memories, some good, some bad. (Bad = Bourbon St. on any given night). But the one good smell that brings back great memories would have to be the smell of a mess…

Even In the Friendliest of Faces
Today’s Bloganuary prompt is: What fear have you conquered? I drive around the parking lot several times. There’s a spot available not too far out, but it’s in the shadows, so I continue circling until someone under a street lamp leaves. I pull into the spot, gather my things, place my car keys between my…
