This is the first entry to IWSG in many years and hopefully I can play along each month from here out. For those unfamiliar with the monthly hop, it’s done the first Wednesday of the new month and a question is posted for members to use. On this day, February 3rd, the question is – Blogging is often more than just sharing stories. It’s often the start of special friendships and relationships. Have you made any friends through the Blogosphere?
Absolutely! Friendship was an unexpected but delightful benefit I discovered in my nearly 11-year blogging journey. I actually have a lovely community of friends who touch in with me regularly and I try to do the same. If I’m honest they are far better than I am at it, but the good thing is they keep me on track. 😊 One good friend is Lee from Tossing It Out. It’s his participation in this monthly meme that silently prodded me to get involved again. As I mentioned years ago I gave this a try, but I felt I didn’t belong. I thought the group was for those who were more serious writers, as in established or hopeful authors. That sure isn’t me with only one self-published children’s story and no motivation to do another. However, reading the monthly questions on Lee’s blog I begin to feel connected. That’s when I realized that perhaps I sold myself short by not playing along. Lee is one example of many good friends. If you read through my comments on any given day chances are you’ll see the same friends from the day before. I’m honored to count each person who enters my life each morning with their morning coffee to enjoy my musings, music, photos, doodles, or giggles and I hope to continue building on these friendships while making new ones. Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t forget to return next month. 😉
Moving along on this chilly Wednesday morning, I’m joining Mary from JingleJangleJungle in her mid-week song challenge where she shares three random prompts inspiring us to build a mini-playlist. Sounds fun, right? Anything related to music gets me going. This time I decided to use the first songs that came to mind and this is what I came up with!
Songs on playlist:
- Hooked on a Feeling ~Blue Swede (a feeling)
- Strawberry Fields Forever ~The Beatles (a fruit)
- Popeye the Sailor Man ~Robin Williams (a vegetable)
Here are my responses to Joyce’s Wednesday Hodgepodge questions this week.
Join my #WildWednesdays linky party where just about anything goes! The concept for this mid-week blog hop was conceived as I found myself moving farther away from photography and more toward art. Of course, that’s not what this party is about. You’re invited to share anything – artwork, DIY projects, photos, music, musings, randomness, recipes, and more!
I’m linking with these Wordless Wednesday Communities… Sandee, Natasha, Marie, & Wordless Wednesday!
[tweetthis]#WildWednesdays the linky party where just about anything goes is now open. Promote your favorite post! #photography #music #musings #creativewriting #art[/tweetthis]Last night we watched the virtual festivities at Gobblers Knob. What a hoot! I’d love to go that shindig someday. I’m sure you know by now that Punxsy Phil says we’re in for six more weeks of winter.
That wraps things up but hopefully if inspiration strikes then you might find me back here tomorrow with an art contribution with Thursday Art Date with Rain. Thanks for joining me today. Stay safe, be well, and have a wonderful day! X💋X💋, Cathy
