I’m working on it

Daily writing prompt
What have you been working on?

This is not a real great time for this prompt. I’ll try and not act like myself and actually be nice.

Currently working on not being annoyed by people who like three dozen of your posts in a span of sixty seconds. Like why.

Forever working on not being annoyed by people on whichever platform you can think of, that pull publicity stunts because they need attention so badly.

I know I need to be the watcher of my thoughts and turn this mood around.

I’m working on getting passports for myself and my two younger kids, I don’t know why it seems like such a big chore for me but it does. If someone said to me, hey if you do my triathlon this weekend then I’ll be in charge of applying for passports for you, I’d probably take them up on that. Even though I’m hardly a runner, swimmer or cyclist.

Each day I’m working on thinking better. I read quotes by Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh, Mark Manson, Pema Chodron, Mel Robbins to name a few. Some days I feel like I’m on top of things and other days I’m nearly drowning, in terms of being in control of my thoughts and the quality of them.

On Thanksgiving Day, one of the gentleman who is on the receiving end of my daily quotes on Snapchat, thanked me for them. For sending the two messages each morning. He said they have come in handy more than once and helped him out.

I was very happy to hear that and told him they are as much for me, or more, than everyone I send them to. If I can help turn around someone’s mood or thoughts, even just one person, once a day, then I’ve done my job.

But it’s continual learning for me as well.

If anyone reading wants me to add them, well I don’t actually know how to send my snap code but I’ll try. My name on Snap is CJ Antichow and the other name on there is Chigginski. I’m not sure which one you would use, I’m like a dinosaur using Snapchat honestly.

  2. Ugh I know what you mean about people liking so many posts in a second it’s obvi that they didn’t read it 😆. And getting a passport is such a task. I had to go to multiple cvs to even get my photo because of their strict requirements

  3. I’m trying to think what your photo looks like… didn’t Barbie have a friend with dark hair? I’m not sure if I’m totally insulting you, but that’s the vibe I’m getting, a Barbie filter 🙂

    And you have to think of passports as part of the process of your HOLIDAY! Or vacation, I think you say.

    Think of where it would get you.

    This is also where AI needs to step up. I would like to ask it ‘Can you renew my passport’, and it runs off and does everything. Wouldn’t that be nice!

  4. Snapchat is one of the only SMS sites I’ve not been pulled into, at least so far, but it’s lovely that you do that. 🙂
