Really!

/ The WheatandTares / 3 Comments

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

Really is a word that is often overused by too many people. And sometimes, I can be that people. “Really” is an adverb that is used for convenience and often, also, as my English teacher grandmother used to tell me, it’s used out of laziness.

When you say, “That elephant was really big!”, you could have used a more descriptive words and made the sentence more interesting: “That elephant was ginormous!”

We are often too lazy in our descriptions and in our speaking, and if we would use better words, our stories and conversations could be much more enjoyable and intriguing!

Friday’s New (event): Big Announcement!

/ The WheatandTares / 7 Comments

Well, we said goodbye to Friday’s New Angle a few weeks ago, and I’ve been thinking about a new weekly event we could do on Fridays to bring a fun and fresh outlook… My apologies for the delay. I had planned to announce last Friday, but I was still deliberating in my mind what to do. 🙄

Now, I have decided, and I do hope you’ll like it and join in to become a part! Starting next Friday, just as I hosted 100 New Angles over the past (almost) 2 years, I will now host “Friday’s Friends.” 

On Friday of each week, I will provide a link for a blogging “friend” I have found to be interesting, intriguing, or simply inviting. I will share with you what I have found and why I’ve chosen him or her. I may post more than one on a given Friday day, but it will be at the very least, one. 

I hope this will bring some excitement, commonality and community within these pages, and I do hope YOU, the readers, will chime in from time to time. I would love to hear from you, hear who is one of your favorite bloggers, and maybe even feature one of you in my weekly finds! 😊 If the requests grow rapidly, I may not always be able to get to all, but if you will give me the liberty, I will share all those I am able. 

Looking forward to launching this “friendliness” this time next week! Hope you will join me! 😉


  

Weekly Event Post: Announcement!

/ The WheatandTares / 3 Comments

Okay, so, after much thought, deliberation (in my own head), and contemplation, I have decided. My new Weekly Feature is going to be…(drum roll, please)… “Wednesday’s Ode.” A celebration, a deep hearted love, a moment of bliss, a light and fluttery enjoyment or, even, a silly, whimsical, almost childlike wonder of a love and all that it should be. These are what my Wednesday odes will be made of…and, furthermore, it seemed to have a little “catchy ring” in the title, and, so, I thought I’d try it out… 😀
I hope you like it. Please, send me some feedback on what you think! 🙂

This Ode may be about anything, really, or maybe, nothing in particular.

This Ode, I hope it to be, exciting, interesting and maybe even a little spectacular!

This Ode, hopefully, won’t be monotonous, as Wednesdays, sometimes, can be.

This Ode, will be coming weekly. I do hope you’ll find it as interesting and surprising as the sea. 😉
