Forlorn can mean pitifully sad, abandoned or lonely. January’s a dismal and dark month after the excitement of Christmas and it would be safe to say a lot of people feel forlorn, as less company, short, dark days and dismal weather would test anybody’s resillience.
Forlorn, can have a very different meaning of being unlikely to succeed or be fulfilled when we think in terms of an aim or an endeavour.
As I create space in my day for my aim; to use the daily prompt and as I endeavour to add another post to my blog I never feel forlorn! I never feel sad, abandoned or lonely and I certainly never consider that I won’t succeed or be fulfilled. How could I? Knowing my inner-most thoughts, my specially selected words, my unique voice, takes flight and floats into the warm and inviting hearts of bloggers world wide!

Hi Marie,
This was a lovely read, after returning to school today, honestly I found it long, tiring, stressful and I miss the holidays already. Of course I miss Ballingarry and everything it brings. I must compliment you on the home that you and Anthony have created, it’s such a warm, loving, welcoming place to be. Hopefully I’ll be around again soon. Reading this helped lift my spirits and refocus on the good things ahead (Summer holidays of course)
I hope that all is well with ye! Missing ye a lot and I can’t wait to see what you write next!
Lots of love, Katie xxx

I was actually having some trouble fitting the word prompt in and thinking it was negative when it can be a positive too. I’m glad you defined the word here. It helped!

You’re right: reaching out to others and expressing our creativity on our blogs does mean we don’t feel forlorn, even in January!
