Free Spirits and Happiness
September 21, 2016 8:23
I yearn for freedom, for open skies, hills to run, and oceans to swim.
I yearn for the ability to drop everything and escape when life gets too much,
and sometimes I do. Sometimes I need to escape.
My own views on mortality herald free-agency as a major part of our existence, and though life and circumstance does its best to trap us, freedom and reaching for our dreams is the key to happiness.

What is happiness? There’s a quote which says ‘Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.’Henry David Thoreau. Sometimes we put too much into trying to find happiness when we should be enjoying life as it is, reaching for the stars, and supping at life’s great…

#Innerscape and the joy of negative wordcounts
September 21, 2016 8:22
The title is a little misleading – I don’t actually have a negative wordcount, I have a positive wordcount of 137 for the day – but I am very, very happy.
Why? Because I know I’ve written much, much more than that today.
How much more?
I don’t know. I didn’t check my total wordcount in StoryBox before I deleted a huge chunk of verbiage this morning. That meant I started the day with a negative wordcount, and it’s taken me all day to fill up the gap. So the fact that I do have a positive wordcount is great news, especially as they are all good words, the kind of words I won’t want to delete when I start work on the story again tomorrow.
I know everyone says to ‘just write’ [and edit later], but that’s never been how I work. The story comes to me in fits…

Uma grande amiga me indicou, nesses poemas e no vídeo, esse poeta que compartilho agora com vocês.
DA PAZ
por Marcelino Freire *

Eu não sou da paz.
Não sou mesmo não. Não sou. Paz é coisa de rico. Não visto camiseta nenhuma, não, senhor. Não solto pomba nenhuma, não, senhor. Não venha me pedir para eu chorar mais. Secou. A paz é uma desgraça.
Uma desgraça.
Carregar essa rosa. Boba na mão. Nada a ver. Vou não. Não vou fazer essa cara. Chapada. Não vou rezar. Eu é que não vou tomar a praça. Nessa multidão. A paz não resolve nada. A paz marcha. Para onde marcha? A paz fica bonita na televisão. Viu aquele ator?
Se quiser, vá você, diacho. Eu é que não vou. Atirar uma lágrima. A paz é muito organizada. Muito certinha, tadinha. A paz tem hora marcada. Vem governador participar. E…

Twitter Now Gives You More
Yesterday morning whilst writing my morning tweets I thought Twitter was having a funny blip when it gave me more than my usual 140 characters, but in my early morning (just got out of bed) mode, I didn’t think much of it until later in the day when my thoughts returned to social media.
Last evening I found an article which confirmed my suspicions…..read more here is this article by Ash Read
Main points are; @names in replies, media attachments (like photos, GIFs, videos, and polls) and quoted Tweets will no longer be counted against the valuable 140 characters that make up a tweet. Hooray! Let’s get Tweeting!
