Hello, my lovely kittens and dawgs! It’s Friday again. Whoo-hoo, let the weekend begin! It’s been a bit stressful with all the election hoop-a-lah and I’m doing my part to support my candidate while educating those who may not have all the facts. Now, I need a little downtime, maybe a few good laughs will fix me up and it might do the same for you. 😉
Today, I thought I shared a photo with the SWF team and fellow shutterbug enthusiasts. This is a first time in many weeks. Hopefully, I can make it a regular part of my routine.
I took this picture with my little Canon point n’ shoot on the Blue Ridge Parkway many years before I owned my big girl camera. The image quality is good considering the source but I admit I used my Affinity Photo editor to tweak the exposure making an ordinary sky shot moody and dramatic. The original lacked pizzaz!
How’s the view through your lens?
Now, I’m joining Lexa in Celebrate the small things.
I celebrate having time away from Blogosphere. It wasn’t the ideal break with lots to do, which left me stressed more than relaxed but grateful for the hiatus. During my blogging downtime, I failed miserably with responding to comments and doing return visits. I had every intention but you know how the good intentions usually turn out, right? In my defense, I normally follow through with this time being the exception. I’m REALLY sorry about that, too. On the good side, I got much accomplished. I have more to do with my blog but I think I’ve accepted that this requires more time than I can give it and will just continue to chip away at the problems. Finally, I celebrate returning to my friends in Blogosphere. I missed y’all and am happy to be back!
What are you celebrating?
Join the party below!
Bringing things up in the rear is Friendly Fill-Ins with Annie and Ellen. Every Thursday four fun and easy blank statements are posted for us to borrow, complete, and share on our site. The point is to simply have fun linking, reading, and meeting others who enjoy this sort of thing.
Here’s my response to this week’s fill-ins:
(1) Peace is something everyone wants but it’s something none of us will see on this earth. However, I know it awaits me and other believers in heaven.
(2) I need to do several tasks around the house, but I keep procrastinating.
(3) A friend is someone who respects your decisions and stands by you instead of cutting ties.
(4) I am too stumped to try to figure out a good response to this fill-in but as it turns out this isn’t too bad of one after all.
Let’s begin celebrating with Friendship Friday and Friday Features linky parties where you’re sure to make new friends and get lots of inspiration!
That’s a wrap for now, but if you like music then I invite you to come back for Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me. Until next time, have a fototastic weekend!
