"Blogging Circle of Friends" furnishes the prompts & I write about them... |
|
What is Circle Time? & Why did I decide to name this blog after it?... [C]ircle Time is an activity that is often done in the early grades (usually, from preschool/nursery school through first grade) where the students assemble in a semi-circle facing their teacher who will read a story to them; teach a lesson; listen to them read (either individually or as a group); or any other activity that is more effectively-done in an intimate setting than being spread out at their desks throughout the classroom. [S]tudents are often divided into two or three groups (in the case of working on reading, math, etc.) so that part of the class is being taught while the other students are doing busy work at their desks. [I]n some schools, students are grouped according to their progress -- I'm sure you've heard of those kinds of groupings that call each group by the name of a bird species -- but we were called in alphabetical order instead. [A]nyway...back to how this blog got its name... [F]or one thing (the most OBVIOUS thing), it's a blog that has been designed with using it to write something using prompts furnished by Blogging Circle of Friends  .[H]owever, a couple more reasons have to do with Kindergarten -- and, specifically, my Kindergarten days at 29th Street School in Anderson where I could be a handful at times. One shining example of this was how I met my friend, Patty. This story has found a place in my memoirs and has been given the following title: [T]his was an example of how getting in a little mischief sometimes pays off, because I not only satisfied my curiosity but, also, got a really wonderful friend out of the deal. You know something? I just used a word that reminds me of Patty, and I didn't even mean to do it. Anyway, that just tells me that I need to write a story and call it "Invalid Entry" .[A]nyway, I remember when Patty and I were out sitting on her porch, and she came up with this really neat game where she said that she would make a scribble for me to turn into a picture. After that, I would make a scribble for her to turn into a picture. And so on and so forth... [I]n a sense, those scribbles were prompts of sorts given by one person to inspire another one -- which is what's contained in this blog: getting inspiration from things such as quotes; clusters of words; videos; etc. that have been shared with us by another person to get our creative juices going. [I]nspired by each other's scribbles, Patty and I came up with some pretty unique pictures (at least in our early-grade-school minds). [A]fter learning this game from Patty, I shared it with some of my other friends and we played it. Quite likely, some of those friends shared the game with others. I have no idea whether this had been a game that Patty had come up with herself or if somebody had taught it to her. [I]t was, obviously, an activity that was worth sharing with others so that they could join the fun. I hope that reading what I write in this blog will inspire you to want to find out more about B.C.O.F. and join in the fun. [E]ven if you aren't interested in blogging with us, I hope you'll find this a great place to do some reading!!! [W]armly -- AJ wants U 2 meet The CanMan!

PROMPT:
Have a Blessed Day. This is a greeting that is commonly used. What does a Blessed Day mean to you?
I'm about to run out of time, so I'll make this brief:
This kind of day is best described in the Bible verse that says that this is the day that the Lord has made, so let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Each day is a gift from God, so always be open and ready to receive the blessings of the day.
Not all are earth-shaking blessings, but they're st... [Read more] Damned If You Do & Damned If You Don't January 11, 2018 at 11:56pm

Twisted News or is it? What are your thoughts about her decision?

It's too bad that Dolly has felt pressured to change the name of her show.
There is nothing wrong with the name "Dixie" -- and there's nothing racist about it.
Many of the performers of Dixieland Jazz are African-Americans with one of the most famous ones being this talented entertainer...

During a kitchen remodel while demolishing a wall you discover a sealed envelope with a treasure map hidden between the sheets of drywall. Are you going to try to discover the treasure or just toss it in the trash?
Knowing me, I would take that map and get into finding out where it leads me.
Meanwhile, the day would be flying by, and, before I know it, the deadline for getting my blog-entry would be nearing to where I would end up writing something in a hurry l... [Read more] Ongoing Growing December 13, 2017 at 11:53pm

As the year draws to an end...
I am still very much behind on my goals -- that is, when I was wanting to get things done.
An obvious example is that I haven't yet grand-opened "THE BIG PROJECT" after saying, time-and-again, that I was going to do it no later than such-and-such a time.
I think that the important thing... [Read more] BowWowWow!!! December 2, 2017 at 11:48pm

So far, this has been a very nice Thanksgiving week where I'm finally starting to pull everything together.
Right at this time, I'm continuing to work on "THE BIG PROJECT" and have come up with a way to give people -- both here at WDC and other places, too, a way to keep up with me on this.

Or do you have a different tribe? There's some magical about coming to the well to replenish one's writing needs. Do you agree or disagree?
I actually have several kinds of tribes in my life.

Creation Saturday, here's your opportunity to create the perfect monster, tell us about it.
I'm going to tell you a quick story about a couple of perfect monsters of two different kinds.
The first monster is "THE BIG PROJECT" -- something that I've been working on but never seeming to get done.
Well!!!

Write about a grandparent.
That's an easy assignment and one I definitely don't want to miss out on, as tomorrow is the 122th anniversary of her birth.
At this time, I have one thing handy that I've already written about my mom's mother who passed away the spring before she turned 48.
It's a very funny story:
At this time, I already have this many places reserved for writing stories about her:

August 18, 2017 at 11:56pm In a new program that debuted earlier this month, the majority of employees at a technology company in Wisconsin agreed to have microchips implanted into their hands, which allow them to swipe into the office building and purchase food at the cafeteria.
How do you feel about this? Is this opening Pandora's box?
This is a bit too intrusive for me.
And what if I were to quit my job or get fired?
Would I have to undergo an invasive operation to get this microchip removed -- kind... [Read more] A Love Story For All Times August 8, 2017 at 11:52pm write about an old black/white family photograph...
