Yes, I do realize that it’s not quite April yet – but since it’ll be here before next Sunday, I thought today would be a good time to start a fresh new gratitude linkup for the fresh new month that’s peeking at us from just around the corner.

If you happened to be hanging around Alphabet Salad last year around this time, you might remember that I participated in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge by Tangling from A to Z. (And if you weren’t here back then, do check out the posts – they were [continue reading…]
The picture I chose for today’s Photo Friday challenge prompt of “Intense” fits the criteria in a couple of different ways – first, due to the intensity of the sky in the photo, but also because of the intense debate and controversy surrounding the [continue reading…]
I‘m pretty sure that no matter what differences may exist between us in terms of our ages, backgrounds, or cultures, we would all agree that toys and games of some sort or another were an essential and prominent part of our childhood years. [continue reading…]
For whatever reason, ever since yesterday evening and right through most of today I’ve kept having to remind myself that no, it’s NOT Thursday, but rather only Wednesday. Does that ever happen to you? Anyway, now that I’ve set myself straight [continue reading…]
Welcome! In spite of a schedule that turned out to be far busier than I had originally anticipated, I still managed to squeeze in a TON of tangling this past week – so today’s Tangled Tuesday post is full to bursting with all sorts of fun stuff. Hope you enjoy! [continue reading…]
This weekend kind of got away from me. (Seriously, there are NOT enough hours in the day – can someone please DO something about that?!) Plus I’ve been running around all over town today and my feet are sore and I’m ready to crash on the couch [continue reading…]
How was your week? Mine has been great – not really due to any one thing or special happening (unless you count the first day of Spring and/or the complete departure of that lingering cold!), but just generally positive, and that fact is at the top of my [continue reading…]
For several years now I’ve maintained my own personal Happy List, first to acknowledge and affirm and then to remind myself of life’s beauty, richness, and blessings. I hope that by sharing some of the items on my list I will inspire you to slow down for [continue reading…]
One year ago we were experiencing a long, cold, snowy winter that just seemed to drag on and on and on with no apparent end in view… so when “On my mind” showed up as one of the Photo A Day Challenge prompts last March, the first thing that popped [continue reading…]
We didn’t get a whole lot of television channels when I was growing up way back in the 1970s (yes, I really am THAT old!), but my early childhood favourite TV shows included Sesame Street, Mr. Dressup, The Friendly Giant, Little House on the Prairie, [continue reading…]
I just realized that after dealing with that darn cold for more than a month, I haven’t needed to break out the cough drops even ONCE for days now – in fact, it might even be around a week or so since I had the last one. I say YAY to that (as will, I’m sure, the friends [continue reading…]
A warm welcome to this week’s Tangled Tuesday post, along with wishes for a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! I have a whole bunch of fun (and even some holiday-green-inspired) tangling goodies to share with you, so let’s get on with another [continue reading…]
If we met for coffee, I would tell you all about the fun I had last week with a friend of mine when we were “seat fillers” at a dress rehearsal concert and taping by The Tenors for their upcoming PBS special. I would share some interesting tidbits about [continue reading…]
My post is a little late, delayed because of my preoccupation with the oh-so-exciting happening that’s right up at the top of today’s gratitude list: an afternoon nap with one of the skylights open – yes! – to fresh, warm air and birdsong. Tease or not, [continue reading…]
March has been lots of fun in the photo-taking department (at least so far!). I’ve enjoyed stretching my brain to come up with creative ways to respond to some of the prompts, and have been really pleased with how several of my photos turned out. [continue reading…]
Several years ago – way back in the winter of 2009, to be exact – Peter and I traveled on Via Rail from Vancouver, BC to Jasper, Alberta, where we spent a few days that included Christmas at the beautiful Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. [continue reading…]
