Share Your World – July 22, 2019

And now for this week’s Share Your World (https://sparksfromacombustiblemind.com/2019/07/22/share-your-world-7-22-19/

“This week I’m doing something a bit different.   All (but one) of the questions were someone else’s idea first.    I’ve credited these wonderful bloggers and hope you enjoy them.   If you haven’t visit the bloggers, you might find one or two (or all) to follow, if you don’t already!”

What happens if you-stare at the mirror for too long in the dark?   (credit to Ursula of An Upturned Soul.  If you haven’t read Ursula’s blog, go over and just wade in and enjoy.   To me she’s fascinating and what she writes about is always worth the journey).

Nothing good.

Do you think you’re judgmental?  What tends to bring it out in you?  (Credit to Ashleyleia for this one)

People.

Do you work better with actual lists or with mental lists?  (Credit to Sadje of Keep it Alive)

If I could keep mental lists, I wouldn’t need actual ones…

Would you go streaking across a football field during a game for a million dollars (insert your own country’s currency), knowing there’s a 50/50 chance you’ll get arrested for indecent exposure? (this one is mine.  Yeah, my mind wanders to some highly strange places sometimes).

American football, or the other kind?

Lastly:

Gratitude/Thankful/Enriching:  What has happened in your life that made you feel uplifted and happy, if only temporarily?

Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Resolute

“Welcome to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). It’s designed to fill the void after WordPress bailed on its daily one-word prompt. Today’s word is “Resolute.””  (https://fivedotoh.com/2019/07/24/fowc-with-fandango-resolute/)

Standing resolute in the sun.

RagTag Daily Prompt: Extravaganza

A response in starting over with a new daily avoidance (or non-avoidance, as the case may be), here with the Ragtag Daily Prompt (https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2019/07/24/rdp-wednesday-extravaganza/), today is Extravaganza.

One picture from our Extravaganza of Canada Day fireworks!

July Photo a Day Challenge, Day 24: Infinite

Since I am now on holidays, and will be for the entire month of July, it is only fitting I am challenging myself to a series of daily posts – writing and photography.  So, in addition to RDP and Fandango, here is one from City Sonnet – a July Photo a Day Challenge (https://citysonnet.wordpress.com/2019/07/01/july-photo-a-day-challenge-2/)!

And for this one, I am challenging myself to use a photo taken on the day of the prompt – and all of them will be in black and white!

Today’s prompt is: Infinite.

July Writing Prompts, Day 24 – An arctic dusting

From Putting My Feet in the Dirt (https://puttingmyfeetinthedirt.com/), July’s prompts are here: https://puttingmyfeetinthedirt.com/2019/07/01/july-2019-writing-prompts/

And today, July 24, the prompt is “An arctic dusting”.

We don’t get arctic dustings here very often.  It is, after all, Victoria.  You know – west coast splendor, and all that.  However, every so often (like this past February) winter invades and shuts down the city, or at least some of it.  Just as well – no one here has any clue how to drive in it!

Somehow, this feels quite infinite…
