Whimsical Wednesday ...



Over the past few days, I have been reading friends blogs speaking of what they expect in the New Year. Some have resolutions, some have wishes of a creative year ahead, while others just hope that it is a good year for all.

I thought Whimsical Wednesday was a good time to ask what wish would you have, if you could have anything come true? I think I would like to have met my Dad's Mom. I wish I would have had a bit more time with my Mom's Mom. I think I could have learned so much from these incredible women.

Looking forward to hearing from you ...

  1. If I could have anything come true? Wow. It's strange. When posed with that question, I find I want a million things. When I don't consider that question, I think that I have all I need. It's amazing how the element of "possibility" can completely change one's mindset.

    Currently, my primary wish would be to live closer to my family and friends.

  2. Hi Sandy ~ So great to hear from you ~ I am right there with you, I do feel pretty content more times than not. Having "anything" come true puts a new spin on the answers we give ... I wish you lived closer, so we could see each other more often, also!

  3. Maybe my low mood is coming as a result of my daughter and grandchildren have gone back to Texas , after almost 2 weeks together.
    I miss them to the point where it actually hurts in my chest.

    What ' dogluvrinvt ' wrote obviously touched my soul.
    For some strange, unrealistic reason I never considered that my daughter would move far away and we would see her every 3 to 4 months for only a week.

    I know I should be grateful, but I'm not.
    Truthfully, I feel sorry for myself- today.
    Tomorrow will be better.
    Maybe I can get a painting out of this misery I'm experiencing ?

    ( my blog is mostly always neglected- please disregard, unless I get motivated to do something more with it, which is highly unlikely )

  4. I had such a wonderful time with my son over the holiday. For two weeks I thoroughly enjoyed having someone to chat with and hang with on a daily business. If I were to pick one wish, that would be to have someone in my life, a companion, who I could share the little details of daily life.

    Thanks for asking! xoxo Ryn

  5. I always enjoy seeing you here, Elizabeth! I want to say that your daughter is lucky to have a wonderful Mom like you - You have every right to miss them - Some days are easier than others, I am sure - Use this energy and make us something beautiful - You have so much to share!

  6. Ryn ~ I know what a special time it was for you and your son to be together at the holidays ~ I felt it in your writing, as well ~ I know this wish will come true for you, and my intuition seldomly fails me ... Just an FYI.

  7. Oh, there are so many things I would like to happen, but the one that stands out the most is my wish to have a baby. (I didn't mean to be so open (and I don't know why we all sometimes have difficult time expressing our true feelings) but hey, this is a friendly place, so I will share my feelings with you all)! Sometimes I think that it's never going to happen, as it didn't for ten years, but who knows, maybe this year... :)

  8. Sonja ~ Seeing my "wishing" has been working lately ~ I am going to "wish" for you to have an addition to your family this year ~ Can you imagine this happening? We will definately need to celebrate! Fingers crossed for you, two!

  10. So happy to find you in blogland as well as on FB Kristine ~ love your creative spirit!

    Loved your wishes for the New Year too and I think if I had to choose it would be along the same lines, to have the opportunity to spend time with those who inspire me the most. Happy New Year!

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...

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?
