Z is for ?

(Thanks to Morguefile.com for the zebra pic. I have never seen a zebra in real life so have no photos. 
And I sure don't have a funny photo like this one!)
The A to Z challenge is over for this year
If you’re still reading, I give you a cheer,
We’re doing the last letter Zed today
You might say Zee, but I’m Canadian, eh?
Hard to think of Z words, my brain is getting sore
What about zany and zombie? There must be more,
Zamboni, and zenith. Zipper and zit
Zulu, zebra. Okay, I quit!
My energy is zapped and I’ve lost my zing
I’m out of the Zone and can’t do a thing!
It’s hard finding Z words to fit and rhyme
I need a ZZZZ now. See you next time!

      Thanks, Claudia. I enjoyed all your women writer posts. Good for you finding them all for the letters.

      The challenge was fun. Now I'm going to suffer withdrawal symptoms.

#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...
