D is for Doodling

I can’t stop doodling no matter how hard I try
You non-doodlers are probably wondering why,
Doodle, doodle all day long
Something this fun can’t be wrong,
Doodling is so good for stress
Easy to do and there’s no mess,
There are no rules about doodling, just so you know
You pick up a pencil and away you go,
Even a pen or a crayon will do
Your choice of paper is up to you,
The back of an envelope, a post it note
A scrap of paper in your winter coat,
Puppies, kittens, a string of pearls
Stars, and moon, and lots of swirls,
Arrows, faces, hearts and leaves
Little girls wearing puffy sleeves
Doodle, doodle, doodle all day long
I’m just singing the doodling song!
Isn't this doodle the best you've seen?
Just call me the Doodle Queen!


Here is a doodle I did on a pink Post-it Note with a black ballpoint pen. 
Do you like to doodle, too?

    I can't imagine doodling like that -- I can't even read my grocery lists. That is art, NOT doodling

      I was just fooling around with my doodles. I find it freeing as I'm not trying to be too serious about it as I had to be in art school. Thanks for stopping by, Carol!

      I agree, Talya. I think doodling has a bad reputation and is good for us. Thanks for stopping in. Hope you're having a great April with all your fun writing stuff you're doing.

    You're a better doodler than I am. I think it's magnificent that you are a doodler. Keep it up!

    Doodle Queen indeed! I bow to thee! My doodles are just lines, stars and crosses...nothing remotely artistic as yours!

    I doodle too, but my doodles are not as artistic as yours! I like to make some patterns or symbols!

#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 underestim...

#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...
