Colorful Sunrises Deep Sunsets

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other.” Write a six-word story about what you think the future holds for you, and then expand on it in a post.

My 6 word story: “Colorful orange auburn yellow sunrises & sunsets.”

Every day is a new day and those day hold the fruit of our labors, the reaping of what we sow. I’d like to go back and make that singular because each person is responsible for her/his own destiny. The color in my 6 word story represents emotions, good and bad, all are life. The canvas of my life contains dark hues with bright whites and yellows on top. I accept everything because I am having the human experience.

My life likely holds another year ahead of the same things I’ve been perfecting for over a decade: teaching in the high desert, being the best most valuable husband I can be, learning daily to be a better father to my children, writing, reviewing movies, reaching out to help and being open enough to receive help for myself. These are good seeds and I continue to sow them along my life’s path.

Then and Now

I followed the weekly prompt and it showed me I have really become more comfortable as a blogger.

This post is in response to Mama Kat’s Weekly Writing Challenge option #4.) What were you writing about last year at this time? What has changed since then?

The photo I’ve included here is a screenshot of what I was blogging about last year. It’s amazing to me how much I’ve learned about blogging and grown as a blogger just since then. Last year at this time, the only blog posts I was really excited about were my movie reviews. I have them all archived and available through a sidebar link if anyone wants to read them. Now I am putting the same enthusiasm into my daily challenges on the Daily Post.

I’ve learned how fun it is to use built in features of WordPress like “Featured Post.” I’ve also learned to utilize other platforms to drive my images. Blogging has become less of an outpouring and more of a measured, reserved crafting of posts every day. I am comfortable with my hobby of blogging and I am slowly making new contacts. After all, people blog in fits and starts. Some people may read you every day and then go awol. It’s tough keeping up with blogging. It all stays fun though when you see it as a craft or art.

Right to Brag

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Right to Brag.” Tell us about something you (or a person close to you) have done recently (or not so recently) that has made you really, unabashedly proud.
