Cattitude and Gratitude - A-Z Theme Reveal



I had so much fun at last year's A-Z challenge that I am going to commit to doing it again. Hopefully it will get me blogging more regularly as I do tend to be somewhat sporadic in my blogging. *Looks away and whistles.*

 Themes are a great idea to get the ideas more focused. They are also hard because I can think of so many ideas so it's hard to commit to just one.

 Since I love photography and writing short stories and poetry, I plan on taking a photo and writing a poem or story each day relating to a letter in the alphabet.

 So looking forward to reading other blogs as there are some very talented and creative bloggers out there. They always make me smile, touch me, and inspire me. You guys are great!

 Let the fun begin!

    Oh, nifty idea!

    I'll be writing a series of flash fiction stories to explore a concept I've been playing around with for a year, now. You can find me at http://shanjeniah.com/2014/03/24/coffee-and-conversation-blogging-from-a-to-z-big-reveal-and-an-announcement-2/

    Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestimate

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini
