☆ Wheel [an inspiration avenue prompt]

'I am here'

This weeks prompt had me so stuck. I had no idea what to paint. Wheel of a ship? Wheel of a car? Wheel of ......?

I was blank.

And then sometimes my brain works in the most amazing ways.

Then the other morning morning I woke up thinking of King Lear. A I couldn't for the life of me think of why I woke thinking of King Lear - it has been years (I mean YEARS) since I studied that play.

And a couple of hours later I had the phrase 'wheel of fortune' pop into my thoughts. What the? (I think I was making a sandwich at the time, and telling Bean + Bug to sit up at the table for the fourth time)

Sitting down for lunch, I realised that I had the perfect quote for this weeks prompt.

This quote is so symbolic of my life right now. My past has come full circle. And I am here.

Have a fantastic weekend - and if you haven't had a chance to enter in this months give away? 
Pop over here to enter.

      Thanks Mary - I used to have a collection of quotes from the plays I studied in high school, but I have misplaced them along the way.
      Happy PPF! x

    I love the way you interpreted the challenge prompt! It's so amazing how solutions to problems will pop into your head at times when your mind is relaxed. I've had the same thing happen. I love the quote AND the sweet face.

      LOL! I have to agree - being a mother makes concentration very difficult, and cohesive thought a far away dream!

    I loved hearing your process to inspiration, I go round in circles as well, and then go off a random path to find the perfect inspiration. Love the result.

    Ouch, the remembering to write them down is the Key. I've lost a lot of good ones that way. Loving you are using Shakespeare. . . she is adorable. Blessings, Janet PPF
