L is for Lollygagging #AtoZChallenge

I belong to the Lollygaggers Club
A group of lazy souls,
We like to lie around a lot
No wonder our stomachs have rolls,

Do you want to join our group?
We have a list to subscribe,
We’d love to keep you in the loup
Come and join our tribe!

Each day we lollygag, on a beach or by a pool
We don’t bother swimming. Why do that? We’re just so frigging cool!
Lollygaggers never suffer anxiety, we rarely ever feel sorrow
Why worry about it and ruin our day? It’ll be there tomorrow,

We don’t do anything exciting
We don’t do much at all,
If this sounds at all inviting
Make sure to give us a call!

    I've done my share of lollygagging (fun word!) but it does get boring, after awhile. ☺ Your poems always make me smile, Cathy. Have a great long weekend! I wish the A to Z would pause for the duration.

      I agree. Lollygagging is good for a while to recharge your battery but does tend to get rather dull after a while.

      Happy Easter, Debbie! Enjoy the long weekend. Yes, the A to Z can be a challenge on holiday weekends. Do you have your posts done beforehand or are you having to do them daily like I am?

      I still have a few pre-written posts, but will run out by the end of next week. My problem is keeping up wtih comment responses and return visits. I get a lot of visitors (yeah; nice problem to have, BUT...) and am several letters behind with little hope of catching up. That bothers me, because I think it's important to respond to everyone who takes the time to comment on my posts.

      Yes, I know what you mean. I don't have a lot of visitors but it's still hard to keep track and reply and visit all their blogs. I understand completely.

      I've always thought it was a fun word and this nutty idea just came to me and turned into a crazy poem. Thanks, Shalini!

      Membership form? There is no membership form! That would involve work. Just bring your bathing suit and towel and come right over. Lollygaggers are waiting for you! Hehe!

#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...
