Share Your World


Here are this week’s questions:

1.  Do you stay up to toast in the New Year?

I’m always up at midnight. So mostly I’m up. I don’t party. But my husband, family and friends share our wishes of the best for the new year.


2.  Have you ever kept any New Year Resolutions made in the past?

Long ago a bestie and I made the decision not to resolve but to write possibilities. Things we’d like to see happen and put our thoughts towards. Often, for us, that works as a better way to find where to apply our energy.


3.  Do you have any plans for 2026?

My aim for everyday is to improve myself. I am the only one I can control and that is a challenge on my best days.


4.  What was the highlight/s of 2025 for you?

Getting to go to Crater Lake with family.

Getting to know my adult children better.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday, plot


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “plot.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

My stream is more of a dot.

COVID dries up every thought.

How could one come up with a plot?

Well, sadly, this is all I got.

One-Liner Wednesday


This one is easy:

Merry Christmas Linda G. Hill

Message from Milo


Don’t forget the dog he knows naughty and nice.

Merry Milo Christmas Eve/Eve! Especially, Yve.

Sunday Funny


I’d love to knit a Woodstock tassel hat!🤗

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “batter/better/bitter/butter.” Use one, use all four (for bonus points), use ’em any way you’d like. Have fun!

The player on home-plate stirs butter into the batter as the jeers of, “Bitter!” ascend.

She was last to be picked. But now she has an idea to make it better.

Friday


The dragon is coming along.
The newest development here: Sammie and Milo on my chair together, like they were last night in my bed.
Sammie and Milo sleep together.

The knitting doesn’t have much progress to show.

Linus and Lucy, page one is improving. It looks so easy! Not if you have no rhythm.🥴

Oh Holy Night is coming along, as is When Christmas Comes to Town. I’m enjoying sight reading all my Christmas songs.

I’m a little concerned as my husband just tested positive for COVID two days ago. He wasn’t doing too badly until this evening. Now there’s a bit of a cough and he’s tired. This means the rest of us are taking precautions.

We finished all of Orphan Black and the sequel. It was fun. Now we are deeply into Stranger Things.

It’s been raining, now it’s so cold! But still no snow. We may still have a white Christmas.

One-Liner Wednesday


What it’s like to live with me:

I could use the ear coverage.

My bit for Linda’s One-Liner Wednesday.


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “usual.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Today has been not only UNusual, it has been spectacular! You know how it feels when you get to chat with someone you haven’t talked with in years?

I feel like I met with royalty. Well, in my life that’s where family, Cuz’ns land. I’m still smiling.

We reminisced about simpler times hanging out at our grandparents’ home, ringer washers, clotheslines, washtub swimming pools, the kindest people who raised our family. The Sunday afternoons, after church in a house that love built. And that felt usual to us. And we felt blessed.

Moe

Woke up to Christmas hatching out in the living room. My brother decided it was time to try and see how the furries will deal with trees and decorations.
Our John Deere Santa hanging on the room divider, with mermaid tail looking for a home.

Dragon coming along.
Challenging piano solos
Nice easy carols, easy font to read. Fun, quick to master.
More challenging less known carols like the Wookiee one.
All 7 pages of When Christmas Comes Around (Polar Express)
Probably the most challenging to me sounds the easiest, Linus and Lucy. And one I want to sing with (and my hands take all my concentration for now) Oh Holy Night.

For next year, I hope I start Christmas music before Halloween. I’d like to be more proficient by this point. And I hope I know those last few songs with very little brush up time.

Oh, in case you need to see how gentle goals help: 

I started back to piano last October. The goal: sit and play as long as it’s fun, then move on to something else. At first, I’d only play a song, or five minutes. Today I’ve clocked an hour and a half! And it’s still fun! And I’m not hurting as much as I used to.

Ties waiting for their turn in the light.
The two frogged and reworked. Still not striping up like I’d like.

And a new writing goal: 500 words a day starting today. And work 4 scenes a day on Folie à Plusieurs. But TrackBear is being a BEAR! So I need to find another way to keep track. I did get 637 words in a zoom sprint with Yvensong.

How was your Friday finale?

Sort of. At least had fun.
