The Drive to ...
Win
Excel
Challenge myself
Work hard
Pay off debt
Communicate with family and those friends far away
get closer to my Jesus, reading the Word, praying for
others, chewing on those hard passages
write
exercise
relax
get a project finished
sew
paint
draw
crochet
take photos
create something new from something old
teach my children
organize
toss trash
give away those things I no longer need
save money
prepare for emergencies
take care of myself
take care of others
encourage my coworkers, my aging mother, my husband, my
children
encourage my fellow writers
Write on, my friends, write on!
It doesn’t matter WHAT you are writing, but that you are
putting words down, getting the flow from your brain to your hands, watching
the black on white appear creating a pattern, a poetry, a new living thing that just
might speak to another’s soul.
The Drive to Write.

ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting! Blessings on your day!
DeleteEncouraging post, and beautiful photos--especially that last one. Did you take them?
ReplyDeleteThank you, no, I did not take these photos. I grab a few from Pixabay for my blog. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI had the drive for big bright things,
ReplyDeleteonce upon a gilded age,
but before my dreams grew wings
the Lord God went and turned the page,
and made things simple and direct,
and made it all quite clear
that my life would now reflect
that survival is quite dear.
And this is, oddly, fine by me;
I live a lifetime, every minute,
and now I understand and see
that heart's defined by what is in it,
and as the dreams have gone away,
love has come, and come to stay.
Thank you. Your poem is appreciated - always.
