THINKING OUT LOUD.............................


DO YOU EVER SEEM TO SUFFER FROM BLOGGING BLOCK???  

I know I do.

We all try to find interesting and pithy things to post about ..... giving something to this world of ours....leaving our mark....somewhere.....
somehow.......


but lately....I've been coming up against this.


don't know if it is the holidays and all the effort that one must put forth for that or whether I am just at a lull
in my life.....




BUT I DO KNOW I WILL BE ABLE TO BREAK THROUGH THIS LITTLE IMPEDIMENT WITH JUST A LITTLE QUITE TIME TO MYSELF.



I'M GOING TO GO FIND A QUIET CORNER AND BE STILL AND AT PEACE KNOWING CREATIVITY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND I CAN FEEL GOD PEEKING AT ME WITH A GLINT IN HIS EYE WAITING.....WAITING.......
WAITING..........


let's find a quiet corner today dear friends......


Hugs,


Jo

    Oh yes I sure do hit the proverbial what do I post about today, wall! I just walk away until something strikes me or vent a little vent that I need clear my head from. It comes back though, in it's own time. After the break I realize I needed the break. Strange how some things teach us in hind sight isn't it? Hugs. Tammy

    well, it looks like french farmhouse has given you
    something to blog about! :) congratulations.

    your blog is always fresh and beautiful.

    when they have 'the block.'

    YOU hit it right on the head, Jo. Quiet time is needed because we need to LISTEN to the voice that in turn asks us to write in all down. Without this quiet, I get anxious, because it is then that I get my inspiration.

    It will come to you dearest, but even in THINKING OUT LOUD, you have inspired us all to remember to take the time for ourselves and GOD.

    Have a quiet evening. Anita

    Wow this is EXACTLY how I have been feeling! BLogging blah is what I've been having too.
    Maybe it is the coming of fall.
    Here's to creativity around the corner Jo!!

    Handle this, however it feels best, for/to you.

    But...

    Could it be that you are putting too much pressure on yourself...? To come up with interesting, pithy, making-a-mark things to post about?

    Could the pressure, be an impediment?

    How about just typing... Putting down, whatever comes into our head... No searching for deeeeeeeeeeeep topics or newwwwww ideas...

    Maybe?

    Or perhaps, I'm just saying the above, to deal with how I blog. :-) 'Cause I don't try for "amazing stuff" to say. I just sit down and ramble a bit. Every day.

    Not to keep up with some daily blogging duty.

    Just because I feel like doing it.

    That's how blogging feels best, to/for me.

    But I'm not everyone! We each need to blog, as feels best to/for us.

    :-)

    All I have to do is open my eyes and look around...the Ponderosa is just chalked full of blogfodder. Now, do I get in a funk and get lax...you betcha!

    I do believe this post shows your not blocked after-all.

    Have a marvelously blessed day sweeetie!!!

    Jo...they come and go, moments like this. When it happens I usually take a walk, flip thry my favourite coffee table books, read magazines or watch a few of my favourite movies. Somewhere, sometime...it comes and then often as quick as it comes it is forgotten! Drats!
    Today I had a thought while I was on the treadmill and out it came, my iphone as I tried to type while walking...it is very tricky, trust me! I think I can comprehend a word or two. The other thing I do is just spend time commenting and seeing what everyone is writing about. I often find it inspiring to do that.

    Best wishes for an inspiring weekend Jo!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
