Today’s featured blogs are:
A fairy tale with a twist A number of you might know how fond of Maria I am and her pictures never fail to gladden my heart. They are VISUAL pleasures. HOWEVER, this link is not about her photo. It’s a scintillating bit about Maria’s personal story. I have read it. I like it very much. I want to read more 😉 Told in simple words, yet very compelling.
The value of Mr. M Diya’s post really put a small on my face. We really don’t know what we have until it’s not there, or the value of others until they are gone. A refreshing read.
Is this mommy life Introducing Mandea a new blogging neighbour of mine. I read her article ‘SELL YOURSELF‘ which I find very interesting because it’s a quandary many of us find ourselves in. Do say hello.
Deb Was Here My girl Deb is talented, humorous; friendly, candid; community minded, and lots more. One to have as a blogging neighbour.
The Heartbreaker Amunala is a new, upcoming blogger in our midst. Do step in and show some love.
Master Mel’s attention to fine details is superb and this is the comment that I made: ‘Your attention to detail is impeccable Mel. You’ve created so much imagery that it’s only natural to imagine and paint these things in one’s mind.’

Sold Out! Writers quote Wednesday…
Writers are always selling somebody out.
—Joan Didion
This quote roused a chuckle out of me because I can personally testify to its trueness. Selling out doesn’t always connote something negative, especially for writers, even though we use the material obtained as fodder for our imagination and stories.
Simply said, when someone irks me, especially when their act is repetitive, they somehow find their ways inside a story or any article that I conjure.
It’s very natural that there are those who might rub us the wrong way or we simply don’t get along with them and this could apply to family members too.
Writing it out helps me to delve deeper into the reasoning behind the person’s actions and also serves as an outlet for my vexation or amusement.
A lot of times, by the time I am done writing it all out, I find myself laughing it off.
For instance, there are some irksome fellows that use the neighbourhood gym in such a bothersome manner, that it’s been on the tip of my tongue so many times to tell them off, but how do you tell a guy that his habit of scratching his butt often, gets on your nerves?
Oh well, with my tongue in my cheek, I turned him into a butt scratching caveman who can’t yet grasp the refined aspects of social skills in public places and that makes me feel a whole lot better.
Ha! I daresay, that there are so many of us out there selling out others.

Wordless Wednesday….
I wonder whose bicycle it was, before it became a piece of decor?
Lovely idea 😊
Everyday Beautiful People #2
Peeking and Clicking…
I honestly can’t claim that I have a fair idea of what I’m doing. In fact, I would be lying if I claimed to know. I am just having fun with today’s assignment since I am out all day with my troop.
According to today’s photo 101 prompt ‘Glass, Squared,’ we are to incorporate glass in today’s image: a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses or something else. It doesn’t matter what form the glass takes.
So here I go tinkering and peeking in or out.
