Featured Image: Creative Tuesdays: A New Day | My Life As a Millennial

Each morning I get up early and head for my cave. Opening my notebook begin freewriting for 15 minutes. No prompts, no pre-thoughts. Set the timer at the starting blocks and away I go. The buzzer signals a beep-beep and I stop – in my tracks, not one letter more. Just another way of escorting my shy creativity to join me. This little gem of prose, New Day, joined me this morning, hope you enjoy it.

“A crack of light reveals a door slowly and softly opening. It beckons to me, come in I have a gift waiting for you within.”

New Day

Crisp and cool, the morning greeted me—a fresh breeze blowing against my face. From within, I feel alive and ready to face a new day.

Stillness all around, No greeting from the early birds. All appear to be slow in waking from their sleep. Gladness fills my heart, being grateful to be alive and enjoying the feel.

Life is a wonderful gift, the world a beautiful place, and living is a grand experience. With the vicissitudes of my life, some events are enjoyable, others uncomfortable and hard to bear. The cycle of the universe continues as if it were impossible to interrupt her determined path. She provides the necessities of our lives, never failing; on and on endlessly.

For eons, the sun has risen to provide a new day, and this day is my day.

A few clouds appear, strange characters, with shapes ever-changing; they scurry across the stage as if in a hurry to go somewhere; who knows where? They hide the sun and bring the rain so, no matter – wherever they go.

Trees large and small are joyful in my passing as the excited breeze becomes a strong wind whooshing under their boughs as if to say, there he is, wave now! In joy, they sway obediently, some waving and others clapping. There is music somewhere, but from where I do not know. Does it matter; no, no, no. All bid me farewell; ‘until tomorrow then,’ they seem to say.

The wind wanes to a breeze once more; all becomes still; the front door motions me to enter; my dream has left, and my day has begun.

New days like my love, are always exciting to set eyes on in the new light.

I want to live forever.
