Linda introduces the prompt of the day “Symbiotic” sent by Sally.   Please be sure to visit Sally’s blog

My favorite Symbiotic relationship is the one I have with my pets. And that relationship is shared with my husband, brother, and son. These are the people, furry or fleshed who share this castle.

We love and care for our cats and dog. They sleep with us, keep us warm. They calm us, lowering our blood pressure and stress levels.

We feed them, give them our “people warmth” and calm them.

We do our best for each other.

Just Jot it January, Opinion

Filed under: Blogging, Gratitude — 8 Comments
January 11, 2026

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 11th, 2026 is “opinion.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

When I was visiting my grandparents on Sundays after church, I didn’t realize how blessed our families were.

Looking back at the many dinner tables full of relatives with many different opinions, I don’t remember anyone being disrespectful to anyone else. Nobody called names, or belittled. Discussion and eventually people chose to agree to disagree. Everyone got along.

It is the hardest fact I’m trying to accept, that somehow folks can’t do that anymore. My biggest worry is for after. When the change happens everyone wants, regardless of which side of the fence holds you in, how can we ever get to respectful interaction? Too many violent opinions. Not enough love and peaceful feelings hold up our world.

And that’s MY opinion.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, Just Jot it January,

Filed under: Blogging — 2 Comments
January 10, 2026

Per Linda: Your prompt for #JusJoJan the 10th and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “don’t get me started.” Use the phrase in your post or just write about the first thing it conjures in your mind. Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Just don’t get me started. I won’t quit. I’ll need more. An example I’m on my umpteenth binge-watch of Grey’s Anatomy. This time I have my husband joining me. I know he’s in as he took note of the season and episode so he could keep up when he went to our room to put his feet up. My favorite episode. But the beginning is not for the squeamish.

Two Octobers ago I decided to play piano. I started with a scale or melody. Now a year and a couple of months I’m up to an hour of playing. I’m enjoying the heck out of what I’m learning. And don’t get me started playing Christmas songs. Due to the Charlie Brown jazzy/bluesy songs I can’t quit. (We did finally take down the trees and decorations.)

I seem to get addicted to things, like Duolingo.

And don’t get me started on this cutie (Milo) who can’t get close enough as we both enjoy the warmth of the electric lap blanket.

Just Jot it January, Celebrate

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “celebrate,” is brought to us by Wendy. Check out her blog here!

Celebrate is the kind of word you can’t be sad saying. First thing that happens to me is hear

Or

Celebrate life’s moments. It need not be a party or cake. It’s inside. It’s life. Let me live with my brain intact and less than overwhelming pain to be 130.

Every moment is worth a celebration, a smile, a dance, there’s always something to breathe in thankfulness.

Just Jot it January, Stumble

Our prompt of the day is brought to us by our most industrious carver, Lou. Thank you, Lou! Please be sure to visit Lou’s blog to read his posts and say hello. And follow him while you’re there if you’re not already.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 8th, 2026 is “stumble.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Does anyone remember Stumblupon? I Googled “stumble” and was reminded. Apparently, there is an app now. As much fun, and as informative as it was it was far too distracting for my ADHD.

But the snow is beautiful. Until you have to walk on it after a cold clear day. My husband stumbled into a shoulder repair a few years ago, to prove my fact.

Yes. It is so cold we’re staying in the bedrooms to watch our shows. It’s 25F right now our low will be 19 (or less in actual CV).

Just Jot it January, Intentional

Filed under: Blogging, Happiness, manifesting, Uncategorized — 3 Comments
January 6, 2026

This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, “intentional,” is brought to us by Dan. Check out his blog here!

Living intentionally is often as tough as the stairway Dan shared on his post. In fact, his published books shows it works for him. By the way, I am reading his book, Poetic Justice as my Kindle, slow read. Not my audiobook, like all my others, but page by page. It is engaging. I just can’t track well. But I am able to stick with it. Mysteries of the murdering type, are tough. But the main character, Brody, keeps the story moving. It is my intention to finish the book within a couple of weeks.

I’m working on my intentions and manifesting goals. That’s what my possibility list on New Year’s starts with small and deep thoughts. From working on thought patterns to knitting, to communication with others. I’m all over the map as I zero in on the things that will bring me joy or somehow help heal the universe

Thanks for this prompt, Dan!
