CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?

 

Let’s add some SPRING to the tale πŸ™‚ You can crack your Story telling imaginationΒ by contributing to this tag along Spring fiction below. The full story will be published on my Tuesday’s Trivia with every part attributed to the contributor. So here goes…

 

Buds of Spring

Georgette looks out of the window

The cold is fast thawing out and little fresh sprigs are sprouting.

It should be warm soon

Yet the coldness in her heart did not match the liveliness of the budding Spring

Her heart feels like a ghost town.

Where is he?

He promised her everything and she believed in him…

Counting the days and hoping that it’s just a dream.

‘Back in my home country, when we call for a party, we call for a party. We don’t skimp. Our hospitality is legendary. We even give out party tokens, so help yourself to an Easter Party Pack. You are welcome :-)’

      1. I agree with you on the naps Paula. It’s taken me most of my life to learn to listen to my body but now when I find myself getting tired I take a nap and wake up feeling refreshed and more energized than had I kept working.

      2. I’ve been a napper my entire life, and I believe in the healing power of sleep, be it mind or body. Anytime I go for a long run, I will immediately take a nap afterwards (my body actually forces me too). It’s my initial recovery of putting my body through such a vigorous workout, haha!

      3. That makes so much sense. I’ve virtually ignored all the signs that I was running out of steam and would wonder why I was crabby or just fatigued. I feel so much better since I’ve incorporated napping into my day.

  7. At last I made it, oh dear me! Hope I am not too late to this wonderful party hosted by the beautiful Jackie. I tell you, she is such an amazing hostess. I’ve been out all day and badly needed a glass of water so I’ll go get it. Meanwhile, here’s an invite to my peaceful home, I think you’d love it if you take the time to have a sneak peek. Wait a minute! Hmmmmn, so much sweets and pastries in here, sooooo typical of Jackie! Eh, but I’d just pretend like I didn’t see them and go get my glass of water. πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚ Will be right back.

    Peace and Love to YOU!

  8. OH MY GOODNESS! What a Brunch! You have 447 responses before I am posting here. I love it. Visit my food blog first. I put more on there than either of the others.
    http://jenniesfoodblog.wordpress.com
    very original isn’t it? I began it just to share some of the foods I’ve acquired from family & friends and definitely give recipes to foods I prepare. I hardly ever cook with recipes so when I post a recipe around my food story it’s kind of like building a ‘food’sterpiece, then rewind to the foundation to deliver the recipe for my readers.
    Jennie is my name, Gingy was a nickname for a few years while the 2 siblings just under me were learning to talk and had a hard time with Jennie, so Gingy (soft g) stuck.
    I’m thrilled to join everyone and look forward to scouting around in your blogs.
    I’ll see you after awhile!

    1. Hi Jennie, nice to meet you at this amazing shindig. I love food. Not much of a eater but love to see different dishes displayed at tables.

      Just took a peek at your blog and wow wow, you got me drooling all over… those food really look yummy and deli. Will return to look at more recipes. Have to mingle a while here – I think am thirsty again, a glass of juice will be it… You may want to see how peaceful my home looks like. *whispers* it exudes of positive vibes. You’d love it! πŸ™‚ See you again, Jennie! πŸ™‚

  9. I’m back from blog hopping and meeting some awesome new people πŸ™‚ Now for my bit to the ‘Buds of Spring”
    Georgette sat wistfully looking out her window. The sun was shining. The birds were tweeting, prancing, dancing and courting. Large, colourful butterflies performed a graceful aerial ballet whiles the bees supped nectar and collected pollen. The soft breeze ruffled the lush new green leaves in the trees. It looked so serene and peaceful. Everywhere but in her heart. It was barren.

    Hi all,
    I am Susie from https://susieshy45.wordpress.com/
    I love to read good blog posts and learn something from good writers. When I say ” good”, I mean those who mean well.
    I love a blog party especially an online one for the simple reason that I am shy and often feel uncomfortable meeting people face-to-face.
    Thanks, Jackie once again.

    1. Hi Sayanti, I really liked your post about jealousy. I’m not sure if I commented on it. I read it at work and had to dash off to a meeting the minute I finished the post. So I might not have left a comment. I just wanted to let you know the post was well thought out and brought up some ways of combatting jealousy that I’d never considered. πŸ™‚

  13. Wow! I only found out about this a few minutes ago, so I sidled over, thinking I’d probably missed it, and I’d arrive to find post-party chaos – leftover food drying on yesterday’s plates, wine spilt onthe carpet, and an anebriated guest curled up under the table, wrapped in a curtain, groaning “Never again.”
    I was all ready to sneaak away, disappointed, but instead I had to struggle through hundreds of lively, smiling guests to finally reach you and say hello.
    This is an amazng party! The food is great, the hostess awesome, and I’m looking forward to getting to know some of the guests.

  14. Hi Jackie, I made it to the party. Sorry I missed Day one of it; I was off line doing the family thing (ie walking Sasha (my brother and his wife’s 7 lb furry bundle of excitement) and enjoying a belated birthday feast with corned beef and cabbage and irish soda bread. My mom has always made that for my birthday even though we are not Irish because the corned beef was always on sale around my birthday. So it became a delicious tradition πŸ™‚

    Hello all at the party πŸ™‚ I do hope some of you are still around. It’s morning here in NY (the state not the city) πŸ™‚

    For your fiction/poem Jackie, it looks like Mandibelle was the last person to add an entry for it. I skimmed through the comments to check but couldn’t find any later than her comment yesterday. So I’m going to work off hers if that’s okay. If I missed someone’s entry and that causes mine not to align, just let me know and I can correct it. I should be around most of the morning here πŸ™‚

    so here it is:

    from the heart’s wreckage
    springs hope, a bloom delivered
    “Miss you” scrawled on note

    not forgotten yet
    not this Georgette, rose in hand
    sweet perfume in nose

    Wait until summer
    search for him in heat shimmers
    raising wavy hopes…

    I could go on but I’ll let someone else pick up the story πŸ™‚ Okay now for introductions…I’m Melinda. I write fantasy and science fiction. I’m currently writing and publishing (serially) 4 books on my website: Quest (Fantasy: poetry & prose), (Re)Quest (Fantasy: poetry & prose – an expansion of the original Quest storylines), Aerials (Science fiction, prose & poetry), Curse Breaker: Enchanted (Fantasy: prose). Hyperlinked table of contents plus a description of the plot for each book is stickied (is that a word?) to the top of my home page: http://melindakucsera.com so you won’t be lost! You can find the first post of each book by hitting up that table of contents πŸ™‚ I also write some sonnets, haikus and senryu. I just did a collab with Rosema from A Reading Writer called the The 7 Deadly Sins of Senryu. The first post of that series publishes tonight at 12:01 am ET. I am so proud those posts! I did some 3d artwork for them πŸ™‚

    Looking forward to meeting and mingling with you all! Thank you Jackie for hosting this!

  15. Hello everyone! Thank you for hosting this wonderful party, Jackie! I’m Lisa from Life of an El Paso Woman! Lately, I’ve been blogging about music a lot. Since it’s Women’s History Month, I decided to include a song by a different woman everyday this month. I’m not sure if I’m going to keep doing it after March 31. Here is a post I did last year about my sister. I featured it again this year. http://lifeofanelpasowoman.com/2016/03/06/meet-tory-rivera-2/ My sister was on the cheer and dance team for the Major League Soccer team, Houston Dynamo. Have a great day everyone!
