What have you been putting off doing? Why? I'm one of those people who rely heavily on "to do" lists to maintain my sanity. I have lists for work, I have lists for home. I have "today to do" lists and lists geared towards future goals. I find deep satisfaction in crossing off a task …
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)? I've been rolling this daily prompt question around in my head all day. I started working at the age of 15. I joined the military at 17. When I was hired on to my first 'good money' job, I didn't fully …
What's something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. Given this Daily Prompt is being answered by the blogging community, I am going to bet 99.99% of responses will be something along the lines of "professional writer" as something they would attempt if guaranteed not to fail. I am one of those …
What was the hardest personal goal you've set for yourself? Physically, the hardest personal goal I have ever set for myself was training for a Tough Mudder. I didn't accomplish the end goal of completing the event, but I did achieve a consistent 12 weeks of training. Which was rough. Six workouts a week, with …
Your life without a computer: what does it look like? Everything, and I mean everything, seems to be accomplished via a computer nowadays.

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? I was an aircraft mechanic for 22 years, a single mom for about nine of those. Life was, quite literally, "hard work". Manual labor coupled with the mental challenges of parenting solo left me exhausted most nights. With each milestone, however, I surpassed surviving and …
Today's 'Daily Prompt' was a bit repetitive from a recent post, so I thought I would entertain you with a little story instead. Mouths are fucking gross. I'm not sure why I have such a deep-seeded aversion to dentistry. I'm an avid flosser. I brush two, sometimes three times a day. I scrape my tongue. …
Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. Oh Lawd. There are so many great lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier in life. I'm not sure I can choose just one. So I won't. 😀 In no particular order... Life is short. The older you get, the faster it seems to …
Are you holding a grudge? About? Hell yeah, I'm holding a grudge. I am the QUEEN of grudges. And it's not just a grudge, try an infinite number of grudges that I currently hold. If you wronged me, or even slightly inconvenienced me, you better believe that I have not forgotten it. Nor forgiven. I …
Describe your life in an alternate universe. Today's prompt feels like an exercise in "what could've been". Which I don't like. Every hardship, every trial and tribulation, every difficult situation or period of time I've endured made me who I am today. Each "missed" opportunity or fork in the road that could've led me down …
