I dislike altercation. When you begin on that path, you might as well hang up your “guns”. There is no winner in this old form of argument. Of course you may be qualified as the powerless foe by the surrounding crowd, but physical fighting shows a lack of intelligence. You think it peculiar giving this advice? You are weary of hearing “turn the other cheek”? That is not all I recommend. Debating requires a certain knowledge of the subject, plus a list of worthy arguments to promote your point of view. In lieu of arguing or fighting, try a debate instead.

Time to Write – Blah, blah, blah
“You’re not listening to me”
She spoke out of frustration
He turned away in investigation
Of the latest stats on the football match
And if the receiver actually made the catch
“Why do I even try?” She moaned
Answered by a familiar groan
“You know I’m watching my favorite game,
Why must every day be the same?”
“You act as if everything I say is blah”
She replied with a sorry frown on her maw.
“I’d be happy to listen on other days
But game day is my day to stray,
Away from my daily routine
A day just to watch my favorite teams,
A day to myself, is that too much to ask?”
She crumpled, “I didn’t know listening to me was a task.”
Weekend Writing Prompt 27
Usually the circle of life is not as smooth, round or easy as you thought it would be. All the dreams and promises of youth sometimes result in fragments of despair, sadness and failure. The truth is, temporary troubles will be mended with love and the circle will be repaired.

Daily Prompt: Proxy
Are you true to yourself, living your real life, or acting like your own proxy?

Shortcuts taken sometimes end up the wrong choice. Cooking chicken and dumplings for instance. Stewing a whole chicken with savory herbs, onions and vegetables, makes a great tasty broth. Then cooling the meat, deboning, and cutting it up and setting aside while the root vegetables finish cooking in the natural broth takes time. Preparing homemade dumplings, cooking them on top of the vegetables over broth takes twenty more minutes. When done, adding the meat and simmering till hot takes time, but the result is a delicious homey meal everyone will enjoy.
A shortcut involving frozen prepared chicken, canned broth, canned vegetables, and refrigerated biscuits, is quick yes, but is it worth it? Try both and then decide.
Have a great Sunday!🌸🦋🌺

Reblog of Terrifying Actual Footage From Montana Highway Patrol During Winter Crash
With snow falling and freezing roads where I live I think it’s an important reminder to all who drive to see this video. It is hard to watch. Warning -Adults only!
Tell Me a Tale – Christmas!
“Christmas is here!” She ran through the house, announcing this fact to the rest of the household. Of course it was only 5:30 in the morning and no one else was awake, that is until they heard Maggie screaming. It was only the day before Christmas and little Maggie had woken up early.
The snow falling on her window had lightened her bedroom and woke her up. To a three year old, nature’s beautiful snow made her immediately think it was Christmastime. Her parents had read stories of it snowing at Christmas and the children’s television specials always included snow.
The rest of the family had a good sense of humor and joined Maggie admiring the weather.
