I’m taking a short hiatus from blogging while my family and I prepare for a graduation and other end-of-the-school-year activities. Thanks for joining me on my blogging journey so far. I look forward to getting back here soon! In the meantime, have a great rest of May. I will see you in June!
I’m late posting this week’s topic and that’s too bad because I think all of us need more humor in our lives right now. Too many of us have stopped laughing. We take life too seriously all the time. We’re hardening our hearts, our minds, and our souls. It’s in the news, in the workplace, … Continue reading Topic 14
This is another topic that has me wondering how to approach it and from what angle to write. My dictionaries agree “health is the state of well-being, free of physical or psychological disease, illness, or malfunction.” As such, our condition is a healthy one. I’m not healthy. I have cancer, though it is in remission. … Continue reading Topic 13: Health
I took a week off from blogging while my husband and I traveled across country, attended a funeral, and visited relatives. While there, I used technology to order and pay for flowers, take photographs, talk to and interact with my children via television and the Internet, make notes on my phone, visit my VIP online … Continue reading Topic 12: Technology
This week’s topic left me baffled as to the angle from which I’d approach it. I mean, I have never been in step with the latest fashions. In fact, I’m happier when I Don’t Go Trying Some New Fashion (a line from Billy Joel’s song Just The Way You Are). I’m a firm believer that … Continue reading Topic 11: Fashion
This week’s topic is Blogging. I began “blogging” when the favorable term for it was online diary. We called ourselves diarists, though my online diary became a place to publish my preteen and teen poetry. Here is one of my earliest poems (though it was edited later when I was at college): The Night We … Continue reading My Time Blogging
This week’s topic violates my agreement with myself not to talk about politics on social media. But, alas, it’s on the list generated by WordPress. (See my post Weekly Challenge.) I feel it’s best to take politics off social media and to talk in person instead. On social media, there’s rarely anyone suspending their judgment … Continue reading Topic 9: Politics
I wasn’t a huge moviegoer until the 1990s and later when I was dating and at college. But my parents introduced me to movies via VHS and TV when I was very young, so I'm looking back at my earliest memories—many of which are quite pleasant. I believe that these early childhood memories are the … Continue reading Topic 8: Movies
I’m not an outstanding writer. If I were, I suppose I’d be a great author. As it is, I muddle through with what I know—most of it learned in childhood. I learned proper sentence structure, the meanings of words, and was a good speller back then; now, I have to use dictionaries and spellcheckers to … Continue reading Topic 7: Writing
This week’s post from my WP blog list is Family. When I think of family, I naturally think of my kids and husband and our daily lives together. Then there’s family before marriage: growing up with Mom and Dad, my brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, of which, memories pop up and out come photos, … Continue reading Topic 6: Family
