Today’s prompt for the Xmas Magic challenge is Cold. I moved to Florida because I don’t like the cold, yet this week it has found me. It makes explaining the choice of picture for this project a bit easier however. I’m going to show the finished picture first then talk about why I chose it. … Continue reading Cold
What are your biggest challenges? Ok we are starting 2026 off with a heavy prompt. This reminds me of the interview question about weaknesses but how you are supposed to list positive traits.

I am no stranger to snow. I am also no fan of snow. I moved to Florida in part to escape snow. That said snow is pretty when it’s falling and you can watch it out your window from the warmth of your home. Or when it is freshly fallen and undisturbed. I think I … Continue reading Snow
How have your political views changed over time? I’m going to start this off by saying you aren’t likely to see much political talk on this page. It’s not that I don’t care about it but I don’t actively engage in discourse about it for my mental health. We are living in a very bizarre … Continue reading Daily Prompt – December 28, 2025
