A creative life is filled with challenges and rewards, puzzles and curiosities. This ongoing series of poems attempts to express the “Aha”s and “What if”s, the deep ponderings and casual observations of an inquiring mind trying to make sense of reality. May it serve, for you, as a bit of “Everyday Inspiration” along your own creative path.
What’s worse?
Start your day
By doing something
You don’t
Like to do—
Put yourself in a bad
Mood
First thing
In the morning?
Or start
By doing something
You love,
Want to do,
Fills your spirit—
Then feel frustrated
Because
You didn’t get
The other work
Done?
Perhaps
Some of each
Is not so
Bad—
Mix it up—
A little soulfulness,
A little work—
Who said
Life can’t be
Random?

Absolutely…if I couldn’t approach live in a random way I wouldn’t have a life. Once I broke out of the typical stereotype of our society [in my twenties some 30 years ago] I began to have a much more fulfilling and enriched life. And I truly believe that rules can be broken..after all, isn’t that how new techniques and ways to reach new horizons are born? I think so.
Thanks so much for bringing these questions to the forefront…so many people are afraid of going against the flow…afraid of what others may say or think…..don’t fret, it’s your life not theirs so don’t let others guide your life’s journey. Make your own path and enjoy!

Mixing it up is great! But…if you have to eat two frogs, I say, “Eat the big one first!” It will be all downhill from there.
Going to post this on my facebook, make my friends think! :) I love how you make everyone think with just these little statements and questions.
If the disliked task is able to be broken down into parts , I like to alternate it with something less odious!!!! Just be sure you dont have to eat both frogs with a side of crow.
I gues I had the worlds worst day yesterday but I know the fall out will pass and I’ll be better off in ;the long run
Peace

Gosh… this makes you really sit and think… I need to start mine off doing something I enjoy everyday……
Life is random. It’s how you handle the setbacks, interuptions and challenges that make life either boring or fulfilling.
Thanks for the Everyday Inspiration. I love this blog and could hope to have more emails from you. It would brighten my work day! (You know put a little fun in between the tasks.)
Inspiring. I would do something I love (sew/quilt) first every morning IF I had that “freedom” (from a job); as it is, I only have time for a (usually) peaceful cup of coffee….which is okay. I just dream of the freedom to organize my day MY way. And yes precious freedom does demand responsibility, doesn’t it–or else could it become dancing to someone else’s tune.
By the way I am new to this blog and like it very much—there is much more here than I expected!
Good morning.
Random tasks.
I like it.
That’s usually how my days go. Good morning, Lord. Make me a blessing to someone today. Then I tackle a task on hand and usually do something that needs to be done someday instead. ” Variety is the spice of life,” so it is said. How fun.
Sometimes we need to force ourselves into doing those things we don’t like and consider the other things as our reward. Working towards the ultimate goals helps us accomplish great things including those we don’t like doing!
I like to start each day with something I like. I’m not an early bird and before my coffee is finished I don’t think too clearly.
