Today's prompt on WordPress is "perspective". Bloggers are encouraged to write or share a photo in their post that documents perspective, how we get it, what impacts it, etc. I was looking through some notes I'd made about the other blog I occasionally post to, 3 Grandchildren, 2 Grandparents, 2 Cats; and I came across … Continue reading It Can Be This Simple
There’s Nothing As Good, As A Good Book
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid. — Jane Austen Lately, as I look for potential ideas to focus my daily thank you on, I find myself going to the Chasing Happy Blog. This month her focus has been to share something that … Continue reading There’s Nothing As Good, As A Good Book
Wish Lists and Holiday Dreams
In 2011 our grandchildren lived with us during the holiday season. As December approached the kids were bombarded, like any kid who watches tv, with commercials that would let them know what to ask Santa to bring them. On Saturday morning I would hear Coco's little voice after each ad for a new doll or … Continue reading Wish Lists and Holiday Dreams
Tales of a 4th Grade…Something (part 2)
A while back I wrote about my year teaching fourth grade. It was a long time ago, almost 26 years. I'll always think of the kids from that class as 9 and 10 year olds. But of course if it's been 26 years, so the kids are all grown up. Imagine my surprise last night when … Continue reading Tales of a 4th Grade…Something (part 2)
Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!
Today I spent time, finally, making the complete switch in the closet from summer/fall clothes to winter. It's a less than enjoyable process for me, frankly. I am forced to look at things I've outgrown (and not necessarily in a good way) as I try to live by the rule "If I haven't worn it in … Continue reading Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!
The First One Hundred Days!
What to write about? Firsts? One hundreds? Perseverance, firmness, resolve, determination, fortitude; any or all of which it takes to get through 100 days of something. And where do we find our strength to live up to a commitment like writing every day for entire year, 365 days in a row; regardless of what else … Continue reading The First One Hundred Days!
Post 99
I've been thinking more about the content for tomorrow's post, day #100, than I have about today's, so I' m finding it difficult to identify a topic for today. The inspiration for blogging for 365 days in a row actually came from watching the movie Julie and Julia. If you haven't seen it, take a look, it's … Continue reading Post 99
What a Prick!
Several years ago I was undergoing fertility treatments. Most of the time when people hear about fertility, they probably think it's all about a woman having to self-inject drugs to stimulate her system. It's true, our refrigerator became a kind fertility drug store. Where you might keep your butter and eggs, in our fridge you'd find … Continue reading What a Prick!
Church Choirs
I'm taking today's idea for my post from the blog "Chasing Happy". Kenzie, the blog's author, put a challenge out to the world via The Thankful Project; say something every day from November 1st until Thanksgiving that you are thankful for; she's providing prompts to help. The prompt offered today is: Something You Were Taught.Who … Continue reading Church Choirs
