Welcome to Whimsical Wednesday ...



I thought this simple picture was perfect for Whimsical Wednesday. It had me thinking of what truly makes me smile ~ Spending time with Family & Friends, Photographing Nature, Writing Poetry, Cool Autumn Days - Just to name a few. What makes you smile? Who makes you smile? I would love to hear from you ...

    My oldest puddleduck, age 5, responded to his mother, when told to write down what he would like from Santa: I don't know how to spell all that and I will tell him when I visit him at the mall and tell him face to face....I love the truth & simplicity youngsters express. I pay attention to that now I am a Nana♥

    What a lovely post Kristine! Now, what makes me smile? So many things - my dog sleeping on the sofa like he owns it and then we get to sit on the little corner not to disturb him! :) Then, butterflies, birds, violets, my hubby being silly, a first flower in the Spring, sunny Winter day...So many things!
    Thank you for this post, it's always good to remember all those things that make us smile.

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated...
