This One-Liner Wednesday is from Linda G. Hill.
Not a financial success, but a win all the same.

I know it seems silly. But I believe this movie contains the secrets of life. I think of it often even when it isn’t the second of February. It is the reason I keep this blog. To keep myself aware of what I can do. What can I improve? If I had forever to try, what do I want to learn. My goals aren’t the reason it’s the process.
It took hours to find a somewhat funny, funny. Cute, though. Thanks Sandra Boynton
The first thing this morning, before I saw the prompt, my husband came into the room grabbed this and started on an itch in the middle of his back. I should have snapped that picture, oh, well.
Our bingeing Saturday began with Jurassic Park 2 and 3. That gave me the chance to scratch my language itch. I did a few units of Latin. I like oft-watched shows while I learn. Who hasn’t memorized our dino shows?
Latin was my first language class of high school. Mrs. Young set us up with ‘A’s and if we turned in our homework every day we’d end with an ‘A’. She was so informative with the arts and sciences of ancient Rome
The text book from the class had interesting and fun stories to translate.ย
Recently, a word came up on Duolingo, ‘laetus’. I remembered the story of the Ant and the Grasshopper. Translating that story had been so much fun, with cartoons in my head.
A while ago I picked this textbook up at a second hand-store or used book store.
So far it isn’t as fun as my old textbook, but it is filling in cracks of information that Duo doesn’t supply.
We moved to our Will Trent binge.
Newer stuff means I work less intensely. I started on Italian as it isn’t as hard. It is fun for me. It scratches that linguaphile itch.

Cinnamon was the name of a fuzzy pet. I couldn’t remember what mammal he was. I read the book when I was 5th or 6th grade, during my horse book binge. I mentioned it to my friend Y today. She remembered a book about a horse. My intent was to make this a book review. But I couldn’t find the book anywhere. There were a lot of books about cinnamon and pets by that name but the book I pictured I couldn’t find. Maybe I didn’t do proper search words.
So I have to switch methods.
Cinnamon is a spice that has health benefits. Here’s a couple of ways I use it.
Sorry for the lack of imagination. But the tea was lovely.
This post is part of Just Jot it January, and the prompt word, โprompt,โ is brought to us by Cheryl. Check out her blog here!
Despite the personal challenges of this month that this Just Jot it January has been, if not fun, at least a challenge to write something when I wanted to shut down and crawl into bed. Instead, the prompts of the day made me write a bit and started journaling subjects to handwrite ideas or emotions that needed a place to express.
Thank you, Cheryl, for the prompt. And Linda for the prompts.
My heart aches for my adult children who lost their father today. We will miss him.
One-Liner Wednesday and Just Jot it January are Linda’s prompts.
Life feels like a labyrinth right now. So much pulling on a person. But finding my way through means there are things to do. Lately, I’ve been prioritizing my physical and mental health.
Pianoing, knitting and the other hobbies are for my mental. Stationary bike and treadmill, on meandering around the house are for the physical.
Prayers come in in my doings, in my journaling when I find myself staring into space.
I don’t know where the entrance or exit are. But taking each turn should keep the scenery changing.
Eavesdropping is not the bad word. It is weird. How does it represent overhearing something? Instead it looks like the roof is falling.
But the sneaky spy gets two weird words. Surreptitiously eavesdropping. It’s like the surrealistic roof is falling over and over. What’s that got to do with overhearing from the bathroom stall?
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 26th, 2026 is โeavesdropper.โ Use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
Todayโs prompt is brought to us by Angela. Thank you, Angela! Please be sure to visitย Angelaโs blogย to read her posts and say hello. And follow her while youโre there if youโre not already.
Your prompt for JusJoJan January 25th, 2026 is โtransmission.โ Use it any way youโd like. Enjoy!
Yay! Finally my word! What was I thinking? And with some very deep things happening in my family right now, I forgot why I chose this word.
The father of my children and husband of 20 years is at his end stage of life. So in his honor I will let you know which direction his thoughts about the word is. Yes, that important part of a car, he knew cars inside and out, back before computers took over.
But now I’m remembering deeper. The transmission of energy.
As parents we have tried to promote love energy to our children. Good times and bad we transmitted what we thought was right. Sometimes, we were human and fallible.
But watching my adult offspring, since their dad started his decline in health has made me proud of the people they have become.
They’ve become love transmitters, too. My heart is breaking for their father and them.
