H is for Holiday in your Head #AtoZChallenge


Okay, we’re at Letter H today. Lots of great H words but nothing rhymes with H that I can think of, can you? Scrap that idea!


Anyhow, I let my imagination run free and came up with this nutty idea below. It was fun to do as I didn't adhere to my poem structure for the whole piece which made it a lot easier. Can you imagine trying to rhyme Himalayas or Hawaii? I don't think so!!

Happy A to Z to all my blogging pals! Hope you're enjoying the challenge.

Let’s imagine a holiday
So many places we can stay,
Where can we go and what can we do?
Here are some helpful hints for you,

These holidays happen inside our heads
That way we can sleep in our own little beds
We can travel long journeys and never get tired
We can drink lots of coffee to get inspired,

No worries about washrooms on this trip
No worries about strangers giving you lip,
No traffic or rainstorms or bustling crowds
You can dream all day with your head in the clouds,

I have to add one stipulation
H is head hauncho on this vacation,
Because we’re blogging about letter H today
I hope this doesn’t wreak havoc with your day.

How about doing the hula in Hawaii?
Or hiking in the Himalayas?
Or hang gliding in Houston?
Or hovering in a helicopter over Hong Kong?
Or eating hamburgers in Hamburg?
Or saying Hola in Havana?
Or having some herring in Holland 
Or hiring a hovercraft near the Hilton hotel?

I don’t want to get haughty but I do like to wear my high heels and houndstooth pantsuit while I hobnob with high society at Hampton Court Palace. Maybe I’ll see Prince Harry there and we can do some hiphop together. One can only hope!

Got  some H holiday ideas, I’d love to hear
Come on Humans, get your heads in gear!

    Your creative spirit has really let loose on this one, Cathy. Such fun! ☺ I would love to go to Hawaii and have been to Heraklion (Crete, Greece), Hamburg (don't think I ate a burger there, though) and Hannover in Germany and I live near Hamilton (which is where Hubby works).

    You are rocking, lady! ♡♡♡ Keep going!

#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...
