words

My absence from writing here has got me to thinking about words.  I'm a
consumer of words.  I love words!  Some of my favorite reading
material is the unabridged dictionary.  Marvelous things lay hidden in
dictionaries.  (Did you know that one of the definitions of
"girl" is a young person of either sex?)



I love word games. Aisle of View / I love you. Lettuce spray / Let us pray.



I read.  I ingest words.  Words fill me.



So, why do I have such trouble writing?  I seem to have a literary bowel blockage.

Words create images in my mind.  I absorb images and create images with my hands.  I want to create images with my words.

I want my blog to be less, “Cold today.  High in the 30’s.  Exercised.” And more, “Gray the sky and brush painted with swatches of cold sunlight that forms a backdrop to skeletal trees devoid of birds and beasts.”

This just isn't working for me today.  I'm trying to add photos and video and when I click on the icons, nothing happens.  A friend, that went from kindergarten to graduation with me, posted a photo of our kindergarten class.  I wanted to add it to the blog . . . but no deal. The "helps" on the blog editor tell me how the icons are "supposed" to work . . . but nothing on what to do if they don't.  I guess I'll just post it on Facebook.

Okay, I know!  I haven't posted for a while.
The truth of the matter is that I just haven't felt like posting.  My life has been so mundane - so routine - that I couldn't see a reason to post.
The weather has been good for this time of year.  Last night was the first time that the temp dropped into the 20's and the high today is supposed to be in the mid 40's.  That's not unusual and it's supposed to warm up within the next couple of days.  So - nothing much to report there either.
No health issues to report - no news IS good news.
I've been reading more books on my Blackberry via KOBO. And I have followed up with books from the library.
So, even though nothing worth writing about has happened....That's a good thing.
