The 2020 Daily Writing Challenge – August 3
Writing is like driving at night in the fog.
You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
– E. L. Doctorow
Today is Day 216 of the 2020 Daily Writing Challenge.
Did you write yesterday? Half of the year is in our rear-view mirror, and I am drawing a line in the sand. The targets I missed, the stories I didn’t compose, they no longer matter. These last six months are history. Done. I won’t lie, 2020 kicked me in the head, leaving me stunned, unsteady, and incapable of completing anything beyond basic tasks. I bet I am not alone, but don’t count me out yet. They say what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger, right? I am confident I will discover I am more capable than I have ever been. I dug deep, reevaluated my annual goals, and I decided…

Enjoying the Struggle Not the Destination – Daily Quote
The internet hums with suggestions to be more productive, run faster, finish the never-ending to-do list. Don’t slacken your pace. Continue to advance to the next great item guaranteed to make our day. We spend our time working hard and achieving our goals. The message is attaining our objectives will bring us gratification. We buy into the mindset, the lifestyle. One by one, we reach the target and discover it leaves us without the fulfillment they promised.
If we are honest, we realize real pleasure, fun and enjoyment lie in the journey, the places we see, the individuals we met, the lives we touch. The struggle is thrilling. Helping each other brings us an unparalleled joy. These truths etch themselves on our souls and represent the stories we need to tell. These paths filled with hardship and hope are the journeys our readers want to follow.
How do you celebrate the journey?

Symphony
There is music
between them
a cadence
a pulse
a rhythm
that resonates
across the miles
across the borders
across the mountains
across the seas.
A harmony of longing
a concert of desire
a symphony of need.

You are the Reason #whatdoyousee
the world is in need
of a gentle touch
and a gentle smile,
a kind heart
and a kind reminder
and for whatever reason
you remain my gentle touch
my gentle smile;
my kind heart
and my kind reminder
you are after all my poetry
my lovely verses and metaphors
my song, my melody, and my symphony
you are my story
and you are always and forever
the greatest love of my life
The image shows a baby monkey, admiring the view from above the tree. I could almost see his eyes glow with so much joy. He is so adorable and so cute. And I am reminded of all the good reasons that made me smile amidst the pandemic.
