    Good day, folks. I hope this post finds you well. We are back with another edition of No Theme Thursday. Like a bad penny it just keeps turning up. A ton of truly fantastic entries last week. Kudos to everyone. You all keep this thing rolling along like a freight train, I tell you. Every…

    I’ll be totally honest here. I can’t think of any off the top of my head. In fact, one of my main issues nowadays is the complete lack of courtesy that people show to each other. No one can hold a door for anyone, and if you do hold a door open for someone, don’t…

    Good morning all. Hope everyone is doing well during the mid-week. Been a little hectic today, and I’m up and down but doing ok overall. I am behind in getting the NTT entries posted, so my apologies there. I will try to have it up tonight. Take care, and ride on.

    This is another one of those prompts that I find myself saying “what the hell?” to. I don’t think it’s as much the prompts, as my attitude towards them at the moment. Every decision could be an opportunity to learn and grow. What we study in school, what jobs we apply for, whom we socialize…

    Wasted. I’ll give the preemptive warning now: this is probably going to be all over the map. 😄 I don’t know if it’s this roller coaster I am on lately or what, but I feel like I am all over the freaking map where time is concerned. In theory, I should, and do, have way…

    Leave it to WP to ask where we wouldn’t want to go. Well, points for originality, I guess. 🙄 Not something I think about too often, to be honest. I’d rather think of places I want to go. Where don’t I want to go? Hmmm… Well, the hospital is a good one. Freaking hate hospitals.…

    I read the words you wrote today They hit me in the hardest way The tears were falling just like rain As I relived each ounce of pain Your iron will I so admire How you were forged in fiercest fire A braver soul I’ve rarely met We have not seen your finest yet A…

    Peaks and valleys, they abound Finish one, another round Always climbing, never stops Climb again to reach the top Tired, sore and feeling lost Is the climbing worth the cost? Staring up, a peak so high Don’t think you’ll ever touch the sky But still you try, God only knows Pelted by the freezing snows…

    This is another prompt I really don’t wish to get too specific on. My family in general has helped me several times. They have helped me immensely during personal tragedies and professional setbacks. I am very grateful to them for that.

    There comes a time in every life Cut so deeply by the knife Sliced so deeply to the bone A greater pain you’ve never known A state of shock as there you lie A look of panic in your eyes As claret flows in floods abound You think of all you’ve lost and found Before…

    Staring at the evening sky I often sit and wonder why Why we do the things we do And tell ourselves a lie so true Convince ourselves of better days Even when we lose our ways We stumble blind and truly lost We pay but we ignore the cost Constantly the cost will rise Right…

    I’m not going into specifics here. I’ll just say that I enjoy Italian, Indian and German restaurants and leave it at that. Thanks and have a good day.

    I feel like there was a similar question not that long ago, but damned if I can find a reply for it. 😄 Anyhow, I don’t know if I can come up with five off the top of my dome, but we’ll see where I land. Friends & Family Whether it’s in-person, email, text, etc.…

    I learned that I really didn’t like school all that much. I learned that I couldn’t wait to get out. I learned that anything in a miniskirt can be dangerous. I learned that the woods are a great place to have a keg party. I learned that I really, really loved Van Halen and 80s…
