Happy Camper

Daily writing prompt
You’re going on a cross-country trip. Airplane, train, bus, car, or bike?

Some day I will have my own little camper. I don’t want anything too big and clunky because I want to use it for day trips to the beach or to the mountains. So my initial obsession with a full-on camper van has worn off.

Welcome to my new obsession. These little camping trailers look absolutely fabulous.

I have visions of myself heading off with one of these in tow. With Stephen and Lucy, or even by myself for a day at the beach with my writing paraphernalia and of course my writing buddy, Cotton.

Well… you gotta have a dream and a goal!


Moggy

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

I think I was a cat in a previous life. I’m sometimes curious and inventive. Sometimes I’m an introvert – I want peace and quiet. Other times I’m an extrovert – I like being around people and noise.

I can be confident, but at times I’m more reserved.

I love having the house to myself, but after a while I wonder where everyone has got to and I want them home.

You can touch me and hug me, but only if you know me well… and please don’t overdo it.

I used to get along with everyone – like a kitten – but now that I’m older, I’m choosy about who to spend my precious time with. I see through people better and have a low tolerance of their bull. I won’t allow myself to be pressured into doing what I don’t want to do.

Just like a moggy, I do my own thing but I’m there for my loves when they need me.

Am I ever cranky? Hell, yeah! Aren’t we all?

No Thank You!

You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

When I learned how to say ‘no’ to people, I realised that trying to please everyone was not the road to happiness.
