A few days ago in my poem titled, Summer Days are Calling Me, I alluded to the fact that the jibberjabber daily word prompts might have to look a little different now that summer is here. With such a short season to enjoy outside activities, I plan on spending a little less time inside blogging. …

Daily Word Prompt, June 29: CHANGE
WELCOME TO THE DAILY WORD PROMPT! (An attempt to continue with the WP daily prompts for the time being.). Since my time zone may not match up with yours for this endeavour, I decided to post my word a day in advance (well according to my zone anyway) to give us all time to think, …
Tea for Two?
As Maria and Caterina passed by David's house, another comfortable silence fell over the two childhood friends and the grey Volkswagen. Seeing the blue house and white picket fence brought back so many wonderful memories, mostly of times that were so much more simple and innocent. Maria now understood why her mom cautioned that life …
At Least One Good Thing
Hmmm... I have to admit that I am curious about how you all are feeling about things now that we are few months into this pandemic. Obviously, I'm sure that we all continue to feel overwhelmed by the mass loss of life and the many other devastating effects caused by COVID-19, but still I have …
Just Working Through Some Things
I'm feeling a little out of sorts today--mostly I think that I am kind of annoyed with myself. I've even chosen to skip my favourite Saturday morning ritual of indulging in my Hula Daddy coffee in lieu of my half-ass decaf standby. Now that is bad, isn't it?! My fellow java connoisseurs will know …
A Wonder and a Wish Aloud
Has the pace of life slowed for you as of late or has it been more hectic? While there are some similarities in how all of our lives have been affected by the present pandemic outbreak, everyone's individual experience with the protocols of COVID-19 has been different; in some cases, vastly different. In ways, we, …
“Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs”
The Five Man Electrical Band is famous for the familiar tune, Signs. Admittedly, I can't say that I know much about the lyrics themselves or their meaning, so I can't say if the song fits rightfully into this post or not, but certainly the quoted line in my title does. As we presently vacation on the …
The World In a Hurry
"The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry." If you have ever watched Shawshank Redemption you'll recognize this quote from the elderly character, Brooks, who after being incarcerated for decades, finally gets released back into society realizing just how different the world has become. Both my husband and I have watched this …
Tethered and True
Are you Tethered to old habits or a usual way of doing things? I would venture to say that most of us have certain routines that we covet, especially on work/school days. That predictable sense of doing often provides comfort and likely helps us to keep our infamous 'to-do' lists in check. If we go …
T. H. I. N. K.
How many times have we found ourselves in situations wherein we wish we could take something back? A few choice words, a scornful look, an awkward handshake, a wrong name, a bad lane change, a premature text, a distasteful joke and the list goes on. What's interesting, of course, is how we all choose to …
