I don’t know if it’s OCD, or rooted in my upbringing, but whatever–being PROMPT is some weird kind of pressure-stress-responsibility I carry.  In true no-getting-around-it fact, for me being Early is “on time”…which pretty much means everyone else is “late”, which stresses me out more.  No, it’s not a fun way to live…and why I must live alone.  (I don’t wear a watch anymore…progress, I guess–but I have clocks…and back-up clocks.)

I went to Hawaii once and nearly lost my mind…the people are lovely generous folks, but “island time” is essentially clock-less…I don’t know how they can keep most successful businesses running if they don’t have appointments, as in “some time o’clock”.  I never went back.  ~ Cale🙄

😊If you’re thoroughly confused… I’m Cale, and I’m combining the 2 prompts because I was unavailable yesterday.

I’m convinced there are eavesdroppers

in both labyrinths, heart and mind…

mischief makers, running one to th’other

they’ve nothing else to do with their time–

matters none to them, confusion they cause me

they think they’re clever, hiding master key 🗝

Altruism ~ JusJoJan

January 23, 2026

https://lindaghill.com/2026/01/23/daily-prompt-jusjojan-the-23rd-2026/

FROM LINDA:

Hi there! How are you? I’m here with our 23rd daily prompt for Just Jot it January 2026. Our prompt today is brought to us by Rohini. Thank you, Rohini! Please be sure to visit Rohini’s blog to read their posts and say hello. 

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 23rd, 2026 is “altruism.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

💖🌞💖

The thought which arrived during my pondering may not be exactly what altruism means, but it might be one aspect of it. 

I’m thinking a person who is truly altruistic will neither be a braggart, nor one who hides Light under a bushel…if it’s a selfless generous deed or gift, they won’t be concerned about receiving recognition.  That person will “just do it” and enjoy the glow of satisfaction within, because it’s a privilege and honor to be blessed to be a blessing.

This is what I strive for, and it possibly benefits me more than those I’m intent on blessing.😊

Take Another Look…(JusJoJan)

January 23, 2026

https://lindaghill.com/2026/01/23/the-friday-reminder-for-socs-jusjojan-2026-daily-prompt-for-jan-24th/

Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 24th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “take another look.” 

😠😬😧😟😕😣🙄🤔😄

Well this is a fine kettle of fish.  WP has made it harder to use the Classic format…(because they’re in love with their blocks).  When I clicked the Help button, “AI” said it sounded like I needed help from a human…help which could only be had by ugrading to a paid blog.  (Apparently, AI is an unpaid volunteer.)

I wanted to wait on that purchase…knowing myself well, the blog could sink like the Titanic just after the refund date passed. 

I don’t know about other OLD people who blog, but cataracts make typing in the tiny EDIT box–instead of having the the whole screen available just Yesterday–a pain.

I should mention…I’m NOT typically fond of Change…

So as I type this post I’m screaming at the inconvenience which requires me to keep “taking another look”.

Sometime later…

Alright…because I’m not a saint, (I don’t even play one on TV)–and I roll with “authentic/genuine”, rather than efforts to impress the world…I confess: 

I “took another look”–and found that all I had to do was click the “enter fullscreen” square to see the whole draft of post, for easier editing…

Sheesh, some days I am dog-altogether impossibly hopeless.

So I apologize to WP and AI for the little temper-tantrum (at least I wasn’t swearing😇)  And maybe next month I can upgrade!

Impatience ~ JusJoJan

Welcome back for our 22nd Just Jot it January 2026 daily prompt. Today’s prompt is brought to us by Dharkanein. Thank you, Dharkanein! Please be sure to visit Dharkanein’s blog to read their posts and say hello. 

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 22nd, 2026 is “impatience.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

~~*~~

“IMPATIENCE”…got the T-shirt; got the coffe mug (I don’t drink coffee); got the bumper sticker for car (I don’t drive).  Guess the sticker could go on the fridge…or front door, to discourage unwanted sales people. 

I thought surely I’d develop more patience as I aged (figured it was natural, since I’m slower now)–who was I kidding?🙄

But it IS a fruit of the Holy Spirit (see verse below)…so maybe there’s still hope for me😅

~ Cale

Amplified Bible
“But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness…”

Gal 5:22

Unspoken~Words that Bless (or Wound)

FROM LINDA:

Would you look at that! It’s the 20th Just Jot it January 2026 daily prompt. Today’s prompt is brought to us by Maggie. Thank you, Maggie! Please be sure to visit Maggie’s blog to read her posts and say hello. 

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 20th, 2026 is “unspoken.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

~~*~~

Would curses wound less

if they were unspoken?

Are blessings worth less

if left unspoken?

It’s the thought that counts

so the saying goes–

but kind words of truth

or ones which speak

genuine affirmation

can redeem a bad day

…even save a life

that’s falling away

~ Cale

Amplified Bible
“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the LORD. 

Isaiah 54:17

PROVERBS 

Peshitta Holy Bible Translated
He that speaks the word is an apple of gold in a vessel of beaten silver.  Proverbs 25:11

Proverbs 15:23
A man takes joy in a fitting reply—and how good is a timely word!

Proverbs 12:25
Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.

Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Proverbs 10:20-21
The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked has little worth. / The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of judgment.

Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 18:21
Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Faith & Taffy (consistency)

🍬🍬🍬

The consistency of faith

is like grandma’s taffy  

Ingredients are boiled

till thick–then pulled

and stretched until

it’s shiny (like God’s grace

on a child’s face)–

Taffy is a chewy treat

tastes almost like

faith rewarded

 Sweet!
