Challenge your preconceptions, they said. Maybe up is down, maybe down is up, maybe there is no up or down. Maybe everything is sideways every day, all the time. Chew on that for a bit.
Challenge authority, they said. Speak up for what’s right, work for change, it’s up to you to make this world into something just and beautiful. But when we spoke it was not that way, not so loud, maybe if you tried being more likeable…
Sometimes it seems like the challenge is the world itself.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “ch.” Find a word that starts with “ch” and use it as your prompt word. Bonus points if you start your post with that word. Enjoy!
We are indeed we are facing the world’s biggest challenge! The planet is sick of all the challenges we have thrown at it. She has had enough of our parasitic ways and she is teaching us a lesson. I really hope we can recover from it 💜

I’m thankful to have become more picky about what challenges I face and when. Sometimes, I need a nap or a sitcom between challenges.

Younger me thought all challenges were pressing and needed to be handled RIGHT NOW or at least on somebody else’s timeline if they considered it urgent. Older me understands I’m playing the long game. 🙂

True. I guess it’s always been like that, it just feels more intense right now.

We are we are we are. That’s what I keep telling myself on the days when I feel stuck.

One of the biggest wake up calls in human history. Question is do we listen and do something OR do we follow the likes of Trump and Johnson.
