Brenda is again back with her week 62 prompt, "Problem."Interestingly the word "problem" originated from mathematics and was used by the ancient Babylonians more than 5000 years ago for solving mathematical puzzles. Later on, the term was expanded to cover all other types of problems in the human realm.Thanks, Brenda, for sharing this excellent prompt.
Thanks Also for appreciating my work on the "Mystery" prompt.
The link to Brenda's prompt is below.

So Ravi...
Are you compiling a mathematical angle...
Thanks so much Ravi.
You are so right about how the word problem came about in mathematics.
Sounds like the beginning of a wonderful write.
Great article to introduce us to the word prompt “problem,” Brenda.
I hope it won’t be a problem getting my muse inspired.
Thank you for sharing my article on Mysteries too.
Welcome back.
Thank you for sharing, Ravi.
Thanks John,
I'm still having a problem getting my muse to write something for mystery, but I'm certain it will fall into place.
As for your muse, I doubt that it will have any problems.
This is a wonderful article, mentioning the word prompt, "Problem." I liked the quote which mentions that there are three ways to solve a problem: accept it, change it or refuse to participate in it. Since I have some life problems that are difficult to solve so far, I think to solve them, I will take the last option in the quote.
Overall, I really loved your article giving so many vivid examples of "Problem". I also liked the way you highlighted some of the best articles on the previous prompt, "Mystery."
Thank you for sharing the week-62 prompt article. It was a joy to read it.
Thank you, Ravi, for sharing Brenda's post.
Thanks so much Rosina.
I'm with you. Refusing to participate in a problem sounds like a good solution.
So glad you enjoyed the article.
Hi Brenda!
So nice to read another word prompt article by you! The new word prompt sounds interesting and should be easy for everyone, since all of us do face 'Problems' at a regular basis!
Thank you for mentioning my response to the previous word prompt! I loved your analysis of my work!
Thank you so much and thanks to Raviji too!
Thank you Chitrangada.
I'm glad you liked my analysis of your work.
It was quite good...my imagination went wild.
We all do face problems...so hopefully this one will spin out a few good writes.
I enjoyed your article, Brenda, and I think problems will give you some very interesting responses. I know everyone enjoys your word prompts.
Thanks for postng Brenda's article, Ravi.
Thanks Pamela...
We'll see how this one goes.
So glad you enjoyed my Article.
Take care
The article is really insightful, informative, and enlightening. It shows the right way to tackle various challenges in life. Thanks for sharing it.
Amit...
When you wrote "this article is really insightful, informative, and enlightening" I was pleased...
But then your next sentence shows me that perhaps you posted your comment on the wrong article.
This is a piece which encourages writers to write. The word prompt this time is Problems.
It does not show how to tackle challenges in life.
Dear Brenda,
You have mentioned some motivating quotes in your article which are really a guiding source to me. I have pinned one of the Inspiring quotes mentioned in the article here.
Thanks
Amit...
That one is a very good quote.
Hi Brenda,
I am certain that your word prompt of "problem" will have many excellent responses, Brenda. I look forward to reading some of them. I found humor in your sentence mentioning a newbie currently in charge of the environment. Mother Nature better resume her duties!
Thanks Ravi for sharing Brenda's latest word prompt with us.
Thanks Peggy...
I agree, Mother Nature needs to take the reigns & put us back on track.
Maybe her and Father Time are arguing...but it needs to end.
We had 79's on Monday & 50's today...only to see rain & snow in the forecast for Friday.
As for the word prompt...problem might bring us a few good writes.
Take time to read Angie B Williams article on Problem.
