When PowerPoint fails, you still have the most important asset in your presentation: yourself. Speak from the heart.

Ha –> Ah

Ha is the interjection of laughter;
Ah is an interjection of sorrow.
The difference betwixt them is small….
The transposition of an aspiration

Shyness

It takes us forever
to get out of the prison of ourselves, doesn’t it?
from Brian Doyle’s poem, The Prison of Shyness

Happy Memories

May 25, 2022May 25, 2022 Sally3 Comments

A lifelong blessing for children is to fill them with warm memories of times together.
Charlotte Kasl

All my children (at Helen’s wedding – 2022)

All my children — except the oldest who was away at college (2003)

All my children — plus a daughter-in-law (2015)

All my children (again) kicking up their heels (sort of) (2022)

Trying to find photographs of all my children proved tougher than I thought! However, I’m pretty sure they would all agree that they have plenty of happy memories together!

Brian Doyle

Dear Kim,

In the spirit of Brian Doyle, I’m writing one long run-on sentence for you because the prompt is One-Liner Wednesday and Brian Doyle wrote masterful lengthy run-on sentences which I have enjoyed so much that I decided to read as many Brian Doyle books in 2022 as I can, focusing on Brian Doyle, the Catholic American writer (even though I’m not a Catholic), not Brian Doyle, the Canadian children’s book writer, although in my ordering frenzy I did end up with one of his books and I’ve always liked children’s books so I may read it too.

Love,

Sally
