WP Daily Prompt: How do you feel about cold weather?
William Hays (American, b.1956)
“Nightfall Snowfall,
Cold weather fires up my imagination
cold weather ignites the flame
that feeds my creativity
and pushes my blood through my veins.
Cold weather brings me to life.
Baby Krampus!

WP Daily Prompt: How do you balance work and home life?
I balance my work and home life this way: I do not ‘telecommute’- even though I could. I keep my work days and my home life separate with razor wire and a moat full of angry crocodiles.
When I clock on I focus on my job one thousand percent. My job involves numbers and attention to little details- not exactly my wheelhouse. So I have to concentrate.
Home is where I go to relax, to write, to scrub the makeup off my face and wear clothes that don’t match but are they comfy!
Home, as my Mom used to say when we were misbehaving- ” is where I show my horns ” and I am fiercely protective of that space for that reason.

WP Daily Prompt: What sacrifices have you made in life?
John Atkinson Grimshaw (1836-1893) Forge Valley, Near Scarborough, 1875
I have sacrificed the daylight
to live in the twilight
where it is dark, where it is quiet
and the forgotten ghosts of forgotten lives sing me to sleep each night.
