This was my fourth year to participate in Just Jot it January. I posted every day. I discovered new-to-me blogs and a few people have discovered my blog. So win-win. 😉 Four years ago, I kept blogging daily after JusJoJan. The next two years, I did not. This year, I'm going for the daily blogging again. I learned through my blogging and not blogging behavior that I'm a lazy blogger, which is not something I'm particularly proud of.

In response to Linda G. Hill's JusJoJan 2026 for January 30, 2026 #SoCS, Stream of Consciousness Prompt Word: Cinnamon brought to us by Tessa K Cinnamon is not sweet,it is sweetnessthat took a philosophy classand learned how to argue back.

Prompt – Cheryl’s prompt for January 29th In the case of needing to be physically at an appointment or committment or what have you, I'm always on time, but I'm not necessarily prompt. If I'm too prompt to an appointment that means going into the waiting room to wait (clutching my imaginary pearls) with people or staying in my car until the appointment time where there aren't people.

The villagers laughed.“A word?” they scoffed. “What can a word do?” The traveler placed the paper on the Blank Page.

Imagine my grumpyness to discover just now that my January 26th Just Jot it January response didn't actually post yesterday. Eavesdropper – Angela’s prompt for January 26th George Michael's song, Careless Whisper, is a song about getting caught cheating on your significant other and the guilt and regret that comes with knowing you've thrown away a good relationship.
