Stripes…

Our writing word for a while now has been “stripes.” I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get a post together. I think that even in gorgeous summer weather people struggle with priorities. What needs to be done, what one wants done, what one would like to be doing…the list goes […]

I am committed…

Our writing word for today is “commit.” It reminds me that I am committed to enhancing and enjoying whatever time I have left on this amazing planet. I work, for example, at keeping my mind active – I read, play the piano and write. I take on projects – I design and sew clothing, I

Fantasy…

Our writing word for today is “fantasy.” I often say that I never read fantasy fiction. I will never read Lord of the Rings, for example, and I have never watched Game of Thrones or Outlander. For years, I never even read regular fiction. I only wanted to read true stories. Somewhere along the road,

Implications….

Our writing word for today is “implications” – a word that covers so many different areas that I feel I have to narrow it a little. For years I have been fascinated with the implications of body language. There are so many subtle signs we make daily that send so many different messages. We all

Say not the struggle naught availeth…..

Grass…

Our writing word for today is “grass.” For me, nothing says Spring more than grass, at least, up here in Canada.  When white is all we see covering the ground from December to March, the sight of some green grass is a welcome change. The problem with grass is, there is often not enough where

Separate…

Our writing word for a while now has been “separate.” It may be used as the verb – to separate or the adjective, as in something set apart. I have been away for a while, separated from my usual routines, separated from the time zone of family and friends by 7 or 8 hours and

Obsession

 Our word for today is “obsession.” Its synonyms are – passion, mania, compulsion, addiction, craze, hobby horse… wait hobby horse? How did that get in there? I had to find out. Well, one of my obsessions might very well be words – their meaning, usage and origin, as a start. So how do you get

Obsession II

In an earlier post, I wrote rather lightly about our word for the day, obsession. It is anything but light. Obsession is a passion. It may, however, manifest itself, in what others consider light or frivolous. Obsession is anything but frivolous. It is for many, a reason to live. A reason to get up in
