What can make you happy
and fill your heart with dreams
Sugary and sweet, then cover it with cream…
Wiwohka’s cookies can
Her Chocolate cookies can
Peanut Butter Chocolate and some cream for you to dip
that makes the cookie taste good…
Just sayin,
Here, have one…
Yes, I am a Woodsy WordPecker, and yes I also sport hands, so that I can write with a pen! If I had to actually use my mouth for writing, like I do for talking, my beak would fall off!
I think it’s rather fitting, don’t you, that I would remember my favorite book being one about a mouse! My love of Runaway Ralph, by Beverly Cleary, most assuredly fuels my love of mice and small creatures.
I’m fairly certain that I answered the same thing last year when this question arrived. This doesn’t surprise me, as many of the works by Beverly Cleary instilled a lifetime of love for small creatures, as well as, fueling my imagination all these years later.
I aspire…
Here, Tilly made the cookies this morning…
Book 1: Bible!
Book 2: Adventure Books!
Book3: Educational!
Why? Because I read them… Duh!
Don’t blame me for being so exact! WordPress started it!
And, as I was trying to be as honest as possible… no exaggerations, embellishments or confusions here. The prompt made the mistake of putting a period in the question!
What I saw…
List three books that have had an impact on you, the operative word being AN.
Then I saw…
Why?
Why what?
If I actually answered the question to the letter, I must assume they want to know why I planned on listing three books, which I myself had planned to ask them. But they asked me first and so I don’t really know why I was going to list three books. So now we are in this revolving circle of asking each other the same question, to answer a question that I could answer at different times in my life, giving an entirely different answer, therefore changing the why part of the question that we haven’t even decided on the why, for why we were listing three books in the first place! Oh bother, now I’m tired!
Here, have a cookie with me… we need this one…
Waking up this morning, I’d had plans for simply giving a one liner, or maybe even just a nice picture of the river, as the lobby has been somewhat quiet lately. I realize that between the beautiful weather and life, sometimes the blogging feels a bit lackluster for many folks.
Nearly 90 percent of my mental energy has been put towards the novel I’m deeply enmeshed in creating, and then I spend the rest of the day with my head in the clouds. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun since having babies!
Anyways, if you see days where I’ve only left a picture or a short poem, please take no offense, as I’m either mentally exhausted or just very distracted! Trust me though, it’ll be worth it in the end, you’ll see.
In the meantime, we can still have fun and laugh together, as some of the things I post are simply crazy brain, which can be an awful lot of entertainment. I can say this because I’ve been entertaining my own brain like this for many years… and if I hear any of you snickering at this from the back of the room… well, I do have a squirt bottle and it has an incredibly long reach!
Getting back to my first comment you read, when you came into the lobby, I decided that instead of my normal blah blah blah, I’d offer a heartfelt THANK YOU! Why am I doing this, you may be asking yourselves? Because, when I logged onto the site this morning, there was a notification saying I’d just surpassed 50,000 total views! Goodness Sake! Folks really do read some of the things I write!
I realize that maybe you all kinda sorta enjoy reading things from this Chatty Cathy, Loud Mouth Frog, Woodsy Wordpecker, Tuesday Tattler, and Overthinkers Anonymous Chairperson… yeesh, that was a mouthful!
Bolstered by this new information, I feel it’s my duty to continue forward, on this overthinking and oversharing literary journey, and simply blog my heart out! Being the wild runaway from the wilderness, turned Wordsmith, as my husband often teases, I feel it’s only the right thing to do…
The list goes on and on my friends…
The only thing that’s worked so far, in overcoming fears, is reading the bible and meditating on it day and night.
Well, they asked!
Here, have a cookie…
I need to find some puddles to splash in… just sayin.
You know that old gospel song, He Walks With Me? Well, it pretty much answers the question posed by the prompt. God watches over my sleep, provides for all my needs and sustains me in all things, but more importantly, He walks with me through each day, and we talk constantly!
These conversations with God are not hours lying face down in the dirt, speaking in tongues or anything… just talking. Talking with God is like a spring of life giving joy to my soul… just sayin.
Here, have a cookie…
Oh, and if you were interested, here is that song:
It’s game time…
This week, I want to try something new! I’ve posted a picture that you get to guess, as to what the adage or saying might be. I will take everyone’s answers and post them next week, before the next picture becomes available.
I’ve discovered that being the one to make up my own puzzles, feels somewhat like cheating, since I use the phrases often and am pretty familiar with their meaning.
I thought that this might be more fun for everyone reading… games are always more fun when there are people playing them.
_______ – _______ – _______ – ________.
Since today’s phrase only has four words in it, you shouldn’t have too much trouble guessing. Let’s go peeps… show me whatcha got!
Guess what the phrase is, based on the picture above, and then try to define it and use it in a sentence. I’m not looking for more than a brief guess at its meaning, and I’m hoping to see who might come up with the most imaginative sentence usage.
I don’t have any prizes to hand out for the winners, but I can offer cookies and a hug!
I draw from a well that has endless power!
When I am tired, I rest beneath the shadow of The Almighty!
When I am weak, He is strong!
God has endless energy, so I’m plugged into Him through prayer and reading His word… in other words, I went wireless!
With power like this, there’s simply no need to unplug… from God, that is!
Here, have a cookie…
