These are my responses to the Writober prompt post Fear of Insanity. It occurred to me as I journaled this morning, that as I wrote the prompts for today, I was focused on the fear of losing one’s mind, going insane, but the fear of insanity may also include the fear of encountering someone else’sContinue reading “Insanity’s Reflection”

Contradictory Abstract Nouns (Photography Challenge) Today I’m looking at finding the impatience in patience and the patience in impatience.

Then I put some plastic santas and snowmen on my white lights and made some HollyContinue reading “#SoCS: Rev Up My Stream of Consciousness”
