15 things I'm thankful for in 2020

 Now I know it's hard to think of things this year, but dig deep!

  1. My family. They have been helping carry me through this rough year
  2. My friends. Ditto on the family note
  3. Hoban and Velma. I know I lost Velma, but I'm still so thankful for all she did for me
  4. Photographs. They help remind me of happy times when happy times seem far away
  5. Long baths. They help calm me on the roughest of days
  6. Living near a large park. Not only is this good for my dog, it's nice to walk among trees with ease
  7. Digital communication. Where would I have been this year without it?
  8. Quaran-hobbies. Helps give a positive touch to this year, plus I like to think it brings some small joy to the world
  9. My favorite podcasts. They keep me company on long work days and long walks
  10. The 90 Day franchise. Yes, it is insane but it helps me de-stress and I love talking about it with friends
  11. The Chicks's Gaslighter album. This album helped me feel so much this year
  12. Al anon. This support group helps me in ways my other support systems can't
  13. Medication. I wouldn't be doing nearly as well without my meds
  14. My therapist and psychiatrist. Again, a part of my support system that does something the rest can't
  15. This blog. While I'm still having trouble writing, this blog certainly helps

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
