The prompts for August are provided by Mimi @ Messymimi's Meanderings.
The general idea of this challenge is to make us write. Poems, stories, subtitles, tales, jokes, haiku, crosswords, puns, ... you're the boss.
Use all Words, some Words, one Word, or even none of them if that makes your creative juices flow. Anything goes, only please nothing rude or vulgar.
It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.
So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.
This week's prompts are:
Convince
Education
Slice
Decide
Craft
Family
and/or the following phrases
Beating a dead horse
On the ropes
Wake up call
All what the words made me think of was this moralistic rant - Quirky Owl at large.
I'm trying to convince my co-humans that education never stops. If we do not exercise your brawn and brain every day, and pick a new slice of matter frequently, it is the same as to decide to regress, to fall into disrepair and forgetfulness. Use it or lose it goes for all areas of our mind and body.
Craft is one of the good ways of keeping fit mentally and physically, having a big lively family is another.
Time and again I feel I am beating a dead horse, but nothing will stop me figuratively yelling at people. And some won't ever listen, some only when neglect have brought them on the ropes, some do not even heed this wake-up call, but stays in the sofa with Netflix and chips handy.
Onsdagsord på en torsdag
Vi fik de her ord:
Overbevise
Uddannelse
Skive
Beslutte
Kunsthåndværk
Familie
og/eller følgende sætninger
At slå i en dyne
Ude i tovene
Wake-up call
Det eneste, der kom ud af det, var denne løftede pegefinger. Underlige Ugle på færde her.
Jeg prøver at overbevise mine medmennesker om, at uddannelse aldrig stopper. Hvis vi ikke træner både muskler og hjerne hver dag og vælger en ny skive af emnet med jævne mellemrum, er det det samme som at beslutte sig for at gå i forfald. Use it or lose it gælder for alle områder af vores sind og krop.
Kunsthåndværk er en af de gode måder at holde sig i form mentalt og fysisk, at have en stor livlig familie er en anden.
Gang på gang og igen føler jeg, at jeg slår i en dyne, men intet vil stoppe mig i billedligt talt at råbe ad folk. Og nogle vil aldrig lytte, andre kun når de er helt ude i tovene efter længere tids forsømmelse, nogle lytter ikke engang da, men bliver i sofaen med Netflix og chips ved hånden.

To show how my quirky brain works I found these two photos from the past week ... they reminded me of one another.

For at vise, at min hjerne stadig finder på underlige krumspring, har jeg fundet to billeder fra den seneste uge, der mindede mig om hinanden.

Den blå supermåne ... Underlige ugle på færde,
Your use of the words for Wednesday is soooo right. I love that moon shot too.
SvarSletThank you, I felt like a grumpy old owl writing this. I was happy with the moon shot too, It's so fun, I take a lot of photoes, that are all basically a white circle on black, and then, bam, I find the right setting, the clouds move over, and I get this.
SletGuilty as charged. I am stuck in a rut and at the moment have no wish to get out. But I've been here before and know that things will change. Learning a craft won't happen, but I WILL do more than read and watch TV. Soon. Soonish.
SvarSletLearning a craft is not necessary, solving a Xword, reading books that are not just penny dreadfuls, walking up and down the stairs and all that stuff, which I suspect you do every day, is actually enough - small steps suffice - and having a curious mind open for new stuff.
SletBe quirky all you want, you are also brilliant and this is an excellent use of the prompts.
SvarSletThanks, I feel a bit shy now.
