F is for Footloose and Fancy Free



Footloose and fancy free
That’s the way I like to be,
No anger or despair, no wallowing in sorrow
No regrets of yesterday, no worries for tomorrow,
I love to bathe in mud and jump in a puddle
Who cares if my humans get all in a muddle?
Rolling in rotten stuff is such a delight
And there’s nothing better than a good dog fight
Struttin my stuff, the cats quiver in fear
Watch out Gordon and Bigfoot, Loup is here!
I’m living in the moment, it’s my time in the sun
I’m a doggie whose mission is to always have fun!

    I get this. Sometimes I think I want to come back as a family dog in my next life.

      Thanks for commenting, Lucy. Loup is one of my favourite photo subjects next to cats and kids.

#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...
