Steal From Yourself Challenge: The Prompt - Return to something you wrote years ago and use one idea, image, character, or line from it to create something entirely new.

It's time to dig through your old writing and steal something.

Find a story you abandoned, a poem you haven't read in years, a half-finished draft, or something your younger self was very proud of. Somewhere in there is a line, character, image, idea, or tiny detail worth taking.

For this challenge, take that one thing and give it another life. Drop an old character into a completely different story. Turn a forgotten line into a poem. Take the best idea from your worst draft and finally do something with it.

Don't rewrite the old piece. Rob it. Then use what you stole to make something entirely new.

Who is grateful?
How does that look?
Only happy and full?

Is it just anyone?
Share your gratitude with someone!

Gratitude is an attitude
Reflecting on the positives in life
Appreciating, valuing, noticing
Tendency to focus on the positive
Enjoyment of the day to day
Full of laughter and joy
Uncomfortable is okay today?
Love will come your way with gratitude


Get grateful,
go give goodness,
glory, gumption
great gifts
giant garden
game goal


Be grateful for friends

Attitude of gratitude

Grateful for weekends


My grateful friends

Betty is a strong advocate
no other can duplicate it
Rose recites prose
everywhere she goes
Sarah is pretty cool
but she married a fool
he is cute and makes her drool
Peggy is funny
and I like her Honey
All are so filled with gratitude
it's the perfect attitude
There are some who have no fun
there attitude stinks, and so do they hun!
