Kristen, prompted

November 23, 2019

Your dad’s favorite saying

As soon as I saw this prompt, I knew what to type.

I think it’s getting a little lighter over there.”

My dad is kind of an optimist (I may have inherited that from him!), and this optimism extends to the weather.

When I was a kid and we experienced bad weather (particularly while camping), my dad always seemed to manage to find a bright spot in the sky, where certainly it looked as though the bad weather was burning off or moving away.

I appreciate this kind of hopefulness and I also appreciate the ability to see a small peek of blue in a cloudy sky.

And whenever I, as an adult, find myself hopefully scanning the sky for the tinest promise of weather improvement, I always chuckle at myself.

    “Never miss an opportunity” – he meant to go to the bathroom, but it’s generally good advice!
    Also “The nights are drawing in” (in July) and “Better get the sprouts on” (in November, so that they will be cooked in time for Xmas Day)

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
