Positive energy…

What things give you energy?

My parents, family, friends

Positive people, special people

Nature, being outside, plants,

Cats, horses, dogs,

Wildlife, glimpses of owls, foxes, badgers, red kites or deer, as I work.

Alone time, the countryside, the seaside

Music, driving fast cars

Flowers, gardening, hobbies

Chocolate, coffee, cake, good company.

And many other things.

Most cats exude positive energy most of the time. – Cat Hart

Cat quote of the day.

“I have lived with several Zen masters — all of them cats.”

Ekhart Tolle

Life without music???

What would your life be like without music?

I am sitting here listening to Paul Simon’s Diamonds on the soles of her shoes, as I write…

It would be quiet, very quiet and missing a lot.

fun, enjoyment, relaxation, dancing, conversation, and much more needs music.

Even if you don’t particularly like music it is used in so many subtle ways that we don’t always recognise, there would be a void without it.

Life without music, no, just no.

Cat quote of the day.

There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

Albert Schweitzer

My ideal week…

Daily writing prompt

Describe your ideal week.

View all responses

One with enough time to do all the things I want to do and can never justify the time for.

or a week of holiday with loved ones.

or a week on my own at one with nature, far from people, noise and responsibilities.

or a week spent in my garden in spring planting, pruning and just chilling out.

or a week in the winter locked safely indoors with a roaring fire, chocolates and the cats to cuddle obviously.

Or maybe a week of horse camp at the beach, riding on the moors, on beach and in the sea with like minded people. (this one is on my bucket list)

or a week of extreme sports, skiing, snowboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing maybe.

And that’s just a few…

but definitely not a week working.

Thank you to AI for the image

Feeling…

Daily writing prompt

How are you feeling right now?

View all responses

Now there’s another good question daily writing prompt,

feelings are fleeting things, so hard to wordify (I like that, I just made it up)

they can be huge and all encompassing

or tiny and almost non existent

they can spark huge emotion

or nothing

they can change your day, sometimes your life, from one second to the next

they are always there, but not always noticed or acknowledged

sometimes they are invisible, only you truly know them

other times all the world can see how you are feeling

sharing feelings is difficult for some people

understanding other people’s feelings is impossible for some

but feelings are there nevertheless

they don’t go away because you can’t see them

feelings

Today I am calm like Jazzie,

but also ready to go at a moments notice

Cat quote of the day.

“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not.” ― Ernest Hemingway

Last search online…?

Daily writing prompt

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

View all responses

Well now you’re asking daily writing prompt, actually I need a bit of help with this one, so where better to ask than here.

The last thing I searched for online was whether blogs need privacy policies and disclaimers, because I accidentally stumbled across a post saying that all blogs should have these, when I was looking for something else.

(really not sure how I managed that)

But now I seem to have fallen down that whole policies wormhole and I’m floundering, so if any of you lovely bloggers out there have any advice about this I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in advance Cat.

Family.

The first holiday ever with all my grown up children together, their partners and both my grandchildren.

I joined them at the last minute as a surprise and it was lovely to be all together for a few days.

Cat quote of the day.

Cats are dangerous companions for writers because cat watching is a near-perfect method of writing avoidance. – Dan Greenburg (1936)

Top ten movies…

Daily writing prompt

What are your top ten favorite movies?

View all responses

Hmm, not easy, I think it changes depending on what I have just watched, but lets have a go shall we.

Wedding date,

Snatch,

Avatar,

This is where you will have to help me with movie names if I describe it a bit…

The surfing, bank robbing one with Keanu Reeves and presidents masks.

The Shining

The arson one with one of the Baldwin brothers, (Backdraft maybe)

Dirty dancing

Shaun of the dead

Top gun (both of them)

Any Ryan Reynolds films but mostly Deadpool

That’s it but probably won’t be the same next time I’m asked, and I’m sure I left some crucial ones out, like American Beauty. Oh dear.

Today…?

Daily writing prompt

What do you enjoy most about writing?

View all responses

right now I most enjoy the fact that I can

that nobody judges me

that I can write what I want

that you don’t have to be “a writer” to write

that you can tell your stories your way

and if people don’t like what you write they don’t have to read it

simple.

If you ask me in five years I may say different, but I don’t think so.

Thank you for reading, if you did.

Cakes…

Daily writing prompt

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

View all responses

Cakes.

no, coffee? (so important)

flowers? (flower shops always smell divine)

books? (you can never have too many books)

No wait!

I’ve got it, a coffee/ book shop that sells cakes.

(you can browse the books, new and second hand, as you drink your coffee and eat cake) and on the way out buy a few beautiful flowers.

Even better.

A cat cafe with all of the above, yes that’s it,

Cats, coffee, cake, books and flowers, perfect!

now that I have a plan, I’d better start looking for the premises.
