Our prompt for today is brought to us by Liz. Please be sure to visit Liz’s blog to read her posts and say hello. And follow her while you’re there if you’re not already.
The first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt was one of my favorite commercials. Enjoy.
It always makes me giggle. And wish for a chewy peanut butter cup.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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!
Nature finally gave in! We got a frosting of snow last night. I purposely took this through the Christmas tree. I’m still playing Christmas songs. I purposely played White Christmas, because I feel lots of December flows over. Look, I live in Christmas Valley! I still believe.
By the way, the forecast says we should have more of the pretty white stuff by Wednesday.
My bitmoji and I are ready.
One of my favorite stupid jokes came around when my kids were in grade school. Long ago in a galaxy far, far away…
Where does Admiral Ackbar hide his armies?
In his sleevies.
Okay, that wasn’t the prompt.
According to Linda: Today’s prompt is courtesy of the most charming Cheryl. Thank you, Cheryl! Please be sure to visit Cheryl’s blog to read her posts and say hello. And follow her while you’re there if you’re not already
Why is it that these appendages bring so many visuals? Cheryl talks of the warmth of loving arms. Yet as in the joke above it brings up groups of military troops. Or weapons. Or parts of chairs?
But, I like Cheryl’s take best. Nothing is better than being held or holding loved ones even pets in our arms.
Yesterday I shared one of the reasons I prefer acoustic piano, or voice, as we can control volume according to emotional intensity within the artist and directed by composition.
Rhythm and how fast or slow a piece of a portion of it can affect or reflect our emotions.
A piece can hold many speeds from grave to presto. Like conversations. We don’t speak one or the other. Well, except certain chemistry teachers in my past during the first period. Hence a C… But that’s another stream.
Music reflects life which is both fast (is it already the third of January?) and slow (why does Christmas take so long when we’re kids?)
Okay, I’m down to the trickle so time to dance!
