A wing and a prayer

February 15, 2021

Sometimes that’s all you have to go on

A wing and a prayer

This one was rushed and I’m not crazy about how sloppy it is appears to me.

I didn’t want to create anything today. My aunt fell and broke her hip yesterday when she went out on the icy driveway. She takes care of my mom, who’s in poor health, who is now alone. An hour and 15 travel time away. And we have an ice storm.

Mom insists she’s fine and will be able to take care of my aunt when she returns home after surgery.

Does anyone else see the folly in this plan?

So here I sit at the proverbial drawing board. Art does not seem in the least bit important right now. Way down on the list.

But really, what else am I going to do? Go find a team of sled dogs and mush my way to their house? Risk the trip in the car? Sit here and worry?

Today’s prompt is perfectly timed because I can wing it and I can pray. And create some art. Write a little. So that’s what I did. Am doing.

Stay safe out there and stay inside, if you’re in this ice storm.
