Well I try NOT to take things personally. I like to think that I dont, but I do. Only human, you know. But if I completely, totally did not take anything personally then I would hve no humility. I would be cold hearted. And I would rather have a hurt heart than no heart. Some things I can take personally and put on a good front that I have not been affected. Some things I take personally and I crack. It just depends. These days people are TOO sensitive about some things and not sensitive enough about others!
How Different Would Your Life Be If You Didn’t Take Things Personally?
How Do You Feel About Intuition?
Gut feelings? Hmmm….. my gut is pretty full right now. Heh. Really, if I followed my intuition more often I would have even less energy than I do now. There’s so many things I feel I want or need to do but I just dont have the energy. Intuition suggests I go for a walk in this cold weather. Logic says !@##! that, its COLD!!! Intuition suggests I know I should give up drinking Diet Coke. So I have, for now. I dont know how long I can go, though. I dont ALWAYS shut down my intuition, but I dont always follow it, either. It depends.
What Daily Habits Do You Have That Re-Energize You?
The prompt book has drinking coffee doesnt count. Crap. Not that drinking coffee really energizes me. I’m never ‘energized’ to begin with! Snuggling my bunny relaxes me, a nice hot shower relaxes me–oh wait! Going out in very cold weather energizes me, as much as I am ever going to be energized. The prompt suggests you list at least 10 things. Phooey. I can list 10 things that relax me and put me to sleep, but energize? Sheeee-it. Bad prompt, moving on to the next one…
A Page Of Advice I Think I Need To Hear
Diet Coke is not good for you! It makes you gain weight, increases depression, and it makes you crave sweets and fast food! Stop drinking it right now. Drink tea, drink more water, you will feel better and lose weight! Your doctor has told you that even regular soda is preferable to drinking Diet. And you are diabetic on top of all of that! The LAST thing you need to be doing is gaining weight! Nag nag nag, bitch bitch bitch!
Okay, so its not an entire page worth of ‘advice’ but I’ve heard it all before. And I know I need to stop. I’ve been drinking it for years now and every time I’ve sworn it off, I keep going back. I read online what diet sodas can do to your body. And yes, I’m diabetic. I DO NOT need to be gaining weight. So I’m starting off the New Year limiting my intake of Diet Coke and gradually getting off of it once and for all. I AM drinking tea and therefore drinking more water. I cant stand the taste of plain water, so I got to have some flavor. At least for now. So the tea is decaff and I’m drinking Cool Aid sweetened with Splenda. Its a start. By 6 months I hope to be off the Diet Coke completely! Wish me luck!
Prompt: Name Three Places That Make You Feel Whole
Okay, interesting. I cant afford to travel, so these places would have to be local. So local, that they are probably within my home, heh heh. But it would be true, and that’s the point of the prompt.
1. My Room. I read a quote online and I cant remember who said it or where I found it, but the words stuck with me: In your private space, you should see something that pleases your eye everywhere you look. So that’s my bedroom. Everywhere I look I see reflections of me, symbolically, that I approve of and make me feel good. A picture of family, a prism suncatcher in my window, a string of bunny-shaped pink lights decorating a mirror, my stack of journals.
2. The Living Room. Where my family and I hang out. We do what we want, but in the same room. We hang out, it feels good, and we laugh a lot. My bunny, Boo, flops on his blanket and eats his cilantro while my sister and I are on our laptops, doing our own thing. We watch TV and talk with friends. Its a feel-good room.
3.The local park. Its nice, small park, with hilly walks and trees full of squirrels. Its close to where I live, so that’s nice. There are swings (yeah, I swing, gotta problem with that? I’m 45 and I swing) and a pond with fishies and turtles and the occasional duck or Blue Heron (that F**ker is HUGE!), so there is always something to take a picture of!
My choices may not be impressive, but they are what they are. I feel at peace with them. I feel whole.
Photo Prompt: Beloved
This is QUITE easy.

Prompt: Creature
All you non-bunny folk can say “Its just a rabbit,” and “rabbits dont do nothing,” but nothing can be further from the truth! First of all, saying those things to a bunny lover will get you physically harmed, so just dont! Second of all, if you care for a domestic bunny the right way you can be rewarded in ways you never thought possible!
Bunnies can be litter-box trained, just like a cat. When they feel safe, loved and cared for, they give kisses. Alot of bunnies dont like being picked up, so respect a bunny’s wishes and meet them on their territory, on the floor. That way the bun will feel safe and you can still get your cuddles in! A hutch is NEVER enough, so dont EVEN go there. Bunnies need room to run, play and binky. Would YOU like to be pent up in a cage all damn day? I would say not! Bunnies are sensitive, intelligent, clever creatures who give and receive love, too!
My bunny, Boo, has more personality than many humans I know. He has his quirks, likes, dislikes and way of doing things. just like all living things. He can be the most affectionate being on the face of the earth…and then turn right around and be a little asshole. But he’s so damn cute it doesnt matter, he makes me laugh and feel more love than I ever thought possible! That’s my Boo, that’s my creature, and I love him unconditionally!

Prompt: Sweaty Subjects
Thought it was something perverted, didnt ya? Heh heh. Get your head out of the gutter, this is a clean prompt, lol!
I think it was George on Seinfeld that said “Sweatpants tell the world you dont care!” That may be true in some cases (like when its that time of the month and all you want is every ounce of comfort you can find, even if its fleece!) but then there are the times you wear sweats because you are supporting your favorite team or trying to looks sporty-chic. But why read into it? Maybe you really DONT care! Okay, now the prompt, which is a two-parter:
A) How Many Pairs of Sweat Pants Do You Have?
Yoga pants dont count.Of them I have many. The prompt is talking about the fleecey stuff. Of them I have three: One purple, one pink, and one that supports the Kentucky Wildcats. They are comfy as heck and they are nice-nice.
.
B) How Many Sweatshirts/Hoodies Do You Have?
Over 10! For me, that’s a lot! I get cold easy. And I love a good over-sized fleece sweatshirt to snuggle down into. AND my bunny loves it when I wear fleece, too! He snuggles close to my legs and tooth purrs, and then we are both pretty darn happy.
Prompt: STATIC
Heh, I love the easy prompts! Upon seeing the word static, the first thing that came to mind is how much static there is in my bunny’s fur! I do not have a picture of it, but apparently fur babies suffer from staticy ‘hair’ just like us humans do! I was petting him the other day and I heard snap and crackle in his fur! The fur stood straight up when my hand was just a couple of inches above his little bottie! The air in our apartment IS dry. I’ve never seen his fur so staticy! It doesn’t bother him but I’m always getting shocked! No matter how much fabric softener I add to the laundry, there is still static. I go to the store and everything I touch shocks me. If it keeps up I’ll begin to like it.
