“There was nowhere to go but everywhere,
so just keep on rolling under the stars.” – Jack Kerouac
How timely to find this old post from the fall of 2011. Two years ago, is just a few winks of time for my friend (the mom of this girl) and I. For her though, much growing and changing has happened in the two and 1/2 years that have passed since I asked her if I could use her sweet photo.
She is clothed in strength and dignity,
she can laugh at the days to come.
Psalm 31: 25
You know, at first when I started seeing contests and challenges for writers, especially blogging, I phsawed them. Over my shoulder I mumbled, “too old and famous thank you very much.”
Then, I noticed that I was in my monkey sparkle pajamas and alone in my office. Good reason to reconsider!
So – I signed up for the April A-Z Blogging 2012 Challenge because I liked the graphics of their web page. Check the page out here if you like.
I didn’t really pay attention to what I was agreeing to, and here we are: April has clearly sprung!
I mentioned on Thursday that my IRL (“in real life”) calendar has suddenly morphed, so here is how I’m looking at this experiment.
I’d like this to be more of a photo blog and I’m drawn to the idea of using the sign language alphabet. My thought, for now, is to post two photos for each letter: what each letter looks like to the speaker (the person doing the signing) and what it looks like to the listener (the person doing the listening/watching).
Back in one of my days, I was a sign language interpreter, and this will be a fun challenge to give a coffee boost to that part of my past.
Here Goes!
