Admiration :: Fall Fearless

Challenge 5 for Fall Fearless and Fly

Headline Prompt: "What or who have you consistently valued or looked up to in your life? What lessons have you learned from people you admire?

Quote Prompt: "Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator; but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh." ~W.H Auden

Color Prompt: Your favorite color now or from childhood, or both!


I have always valued the lessons of my father. When Dad died, strangers came up to me by the dozens, just to tell me that my dad helped them in their careers and made a difference in their lives. My dad always told me that "If it was worth doing, it was worth doing well."

My friend and co-teacher truly makes me laugh every single day.

Love. Perseverance. Faith. Forgiveness. Laughter.

These I value.

Security :: Fall Fearless Challenge

•••

Inspired by the Fall Fearless and Fly Challenge:

"What makes you feel safe and secure?

Where do you go for comfort and refuge?"

Colors: cool blues, greens...

•

Again,

as with the last challenge prompt of triumphs and defeats,

I discovered that these feelings come from within,

rather than from outside or from a place.

Maybe I just think too much,

but life changes so much and

so frequently

and people and things thought

to be safe and secure and permanent...

change...

often and unexpectedly.

I have my Self and God for deep security.

Triumph and Defeat...Fall Fearless

For Challenge No.3 of "Fall Fearless and Fly"

 ~Prompt and quote on Triumphs and Defeat using only B & W.

•••

I am not sure that I can label things,

nor events in my life, as Triumphs or as Defeats,

but rather

I can name some of my feelings or traits as those.

Perseverance

in the face of the most difficult of years

climbing instead of crumbling.

Now that's a triumph.

All we can do is try.

Attempt to turn stumbling blocks

into stepping stones.
