Obstacles
obliterate dreams
obvious traps occur
overrule offbeat operations
opt for opportunity
remain optimistic no matter
the ordeal
too easy to oscillate
overwhelmed
preparation, perspiration
overcome
paralysis

Interesting take on the letter O. Hope you and your family are safe. I understand parts of Texas are being hammered by a storm. Take care.

thanks. We are just very wet. No other problems. More rain through Wed
DeleteHi Joanne .. yes I too hope all is well with you - re the Texan storm .. .
ReplyDeleteBut a wonderful collection of O words ... I've learnt I'm an Opsimath ... not an obdurate over-achiever early in life!
Clever play on your poem ... Cheers Hilary
thanks and now you've added to the O show
DeleteNice lead-in to P. Good to hear you're safe in Texas.
ReplyDeletethanks. trying to raise the bar at tad
Delete"Opt for opportunity" -- rather succinct life philosophy. (Though I have to admit I enjoy "never nuzzle a porcupine" as a life philosophy as well). Cheers! -- Jaye from Life Afloat
ReplyDeletenot many porcupines aboard ship, but you certainly opt for opportunity
DeleteMy favorite part: Remain optimistic, no matter the ordeal. the scary one... the obvious trap. wonderful poem... Good that you´re okay.

DeleteWell done! I really like this. We all have obstacles to face. Staying optimistic even when we are overwhelmed is the key.
ReplyDeleteguess I touched a nerve on this one with folks. Thanks
DeleteI like remain optimistic no matter the ordeal!
ReplyDeleteI write it, I don't necessarily do it
DeleteObstacles CAN lead into paralysis.
ReplyDeleteWell played!
and then you can overcome them?
DeleteI definitely always try to remain optimistic. It makes life happier!
ReplyDeletethat's a good attitude
DeleteObstacles and Overcoming! You can't be an overcomer if there are no obstacles.
ReplyDeletetough to find in this world
DeleteSometimes it is hard to get through those obstacles! We need to keep working through them though!
ReplyDeletebetty
yep. perseverance
DeleteObstacles are always there but we have to push on through
ReplyDeletetough to do
DeleteA super collection of 'O' words and put together with optimism leading right into a group of 'P' words that promise to be just as prolific. I'm at the 'remain optimistic' stage with an OVER and OUT of JOB ordeal.
