Write about the subject you usually blog
about as if you were a music critic.
Well,
lately, the subject I blog about is whatever prompt is given for that day.
Before I was doing this 365-day writing prompt challenge, I wrote about Bible
verses and what they meant to me or about what I did or learned from my day. I wrote about the many island activities I
was involved in, and general frustrations with life. I wrote about my kids and
memories we have made together, and whatever else was on my mind that I just
needed to talk or vent about in written form.
Unfortunately,
this is not a prompt I am particularly moved to write about. I’m no music critic, and yes, I could try to
write about one of my blogging subjects while pretending to be a music critic, BUT
I really don’t want to today. Even those
of us who love to write sometimes get writer’s block or come across a subject
they just are not inspired to write about.
That’s me with this prompt.
Instead, I’d
like to write about where my mind has been all day, really all week and month…searching
for purpose, purpose in my work, purpose with my writing, and purpose for my
time here on earth. I know, pretty heavy. I want to make a difference somehow,
someway, and I have been feeling a particular restlessness now to start on or
at least discover what that difference is to be.
I have many
loves in my life: God, my family, working with children, journaling, yoga,
dogs, discovering nature, and making each day count by helping someone through
it along the way, but I don’t really know if or how these things can all come
together to make that difference. Maybe they don’t…maybe I am doing EXACTLY
what I am supposed to be doing, and at this moment, I think that’s probably
true, but I don’t think it’s over yet…I don’t think it’s ALL I’m supposed to
do. I think there is something more in the future. I just don’t know what it is yet.
What I DO
KNOW is that my job is not the dream job I hoped it would be, but it definitely
has its moments, and I am content with it for you. I DO KNOW that this writing
every day thing has become less of a chore and more of something I look forward
to each day as it helps me process life and gives me just enough of that
introverted time to keep me at peace. I DO KNOW that WA will not be the last
place I call home in my lifetime (95% sure). I ALSO KNOW that we will make the
most of life here as we did on Kwajalein and whatever comes next is very likely
to be something I can’t even imagine now.
Most days I am excited and a bit nervous to see what is in store,
although I am not always very patient in waiting for that future adventure and
the answers to my questions!
How about
you? Do you think you are living your life with purpose and if so, what does
that mean for you?
