Good morning, it is Saturday and time for LindaGHill’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt for us to make fast and loose with is : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “brush.” Use it as a noun, a verb, or an idiom. Have fun!
It’s 7.20am and I have been awake over an hour, looking out towards the trees opposite I try to brush the cobwebs out of my head. They are very stubborn cobwebs they do not want to be brushed!
So many thoughts are swirling around in my head not many happy thoughts in there though! Can I , should I even, brush them under the carpet. I could do that it’s the easiest way to deal with problems just brush them aside, pretend all is well.
No, it’s no good even though I don’t feel up to it I must 🎶dust myself off, brush myself down and start all over again 🎶. Yesterday 49years ago I married the love of my life yes we jumped the brush.
So even though I am tired and not being well is getting me down, and hubby is feeling down coping with his mother’s estate and his awkward siblings we must brush everything aside and just get on with life.
Okay let’s pick up life’s paint brush and create our own canvas, let’s make each brush stroke count. Like the dog brushing past my legs, the squirrel in the trees opposite with his brush tail, we’ll grab the brush and sweep up the pieces.
That’s enough I am slipping in to Madness here so that it for this week folks! I am not giving you the brush off.

Such a lovely wedding photo! Cheers to painting our own canvas with purpose. Hope you feel better soon and the estate issues get settled up.

“Let’s make each brush stroke count” sounds like a fantastic way to approach the last few months in 2020.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 06:22:28
Yes Laura things have got to get better 💜💜
Aug 23, 2020 @ 00:32:18

Lol thank you so much 💜😘
Aug 23, 2020 @ 03:59:57
All those cobwebs that keep on gathering blur one’s mind so easily. Brushing them away doesn’t seem to help too. You look so sweet and happy on the photo. Times will turn around sooner or later. Look after yourself and rest enough.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 06:07:17
Thank you, your right nothing lasts forever and things will get better and Ivan brush the cobwebs away. After all we brush out our own fates don’t we . Have a good day 💜
Aug 23, 2020 @ 07:34:27
That wedding photo is too sweet and if you still call him the love of your life, it means that you laid down the brush strokes just right. Happy anniversary and best wishes for many more.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 08:01:05
Thank you so much for those lovely words.be safe and well 💜
Aug 23, 2020 @ 09:22:04
What a great photo, Marje. Just looking at it made me smile. As for problems, if I don’t have any control over them, then I stop worrying about them. Life goes on because it is continually painting a picture of our life.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 10:52:35
Is this for me or Marje 😳🌹🌹
Aug 23, 2020 @ 10:54:28
Oh, sorry, Willow. I’d just read and commented on a post on Marje’s blog before opening yours. Don’t you just hate it when you say the wrong name in a comment 🙈
Aug 23, 2020 @ 12:09:45
Well it’s funny when it’s someone you know but you can’t be sure if it’s for you are the other person. But when I get the name wrong I find it mortifying … No harm done Hugh 💜💜💜
Aug 23, 2020 @ 12:12:37
BTW. Hugh I came across a post where lots of bloggers were complaining about the new Block Editor and threatening to lead. I did say if I could use it anyone could and directed them to your tutorials. I found them very helpful 😃
Aug 23, 2020 @ 12:22:55
That’s so kind, thank you, Willow. Yes, I’ve been reading a lot about the recent changes WordPress have made to the editors. I wrote a post about the announcement WordPress made and some commentators took out their frustrations on me! (even though I stated at the end of the post that it was WordPress making the changes – not me). The ironic thing is that the Classic editor is still available by way of the Classic block. It need be the only block a user ever uses and, from what WordPress says, it does pretty much the same as the WordPress.Com Classic editor did. I can’t vouch for that because it’s been well over a year since I last used the WordPress.Com classic editor.
It’ll be a shame if some people choose to leave because of the changes. However, they’re entirely within their right to do so if they don’t like the changes. As a paying customer, I know that if I didn’t like anything about the products or services of a company, I’d take my business elsewhere.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 12:28:13
I like you Hugh I got s bit of flack , I know you can use the classic block but don’t use it anymore preferring thehr the new one! I just couldn’t cope with setting up anew and losing my friends. I hope the bad feelings settle soon 😘
Aug 23, 2020 @ 12:36:20
I’m sure it will, Willow.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 12:38:33
🤞
Aug 23, 2020 @ 10:05:52
I would have been married to Ralphie 50 years this year but we divorced long ago. I’m glad I celebrated my 38th anniversary with M’sieu le Mario not long ago.
Aug 23, 2020 @ 10:50:30
Excellent, I hope you are both very happy 💜
Aug 24, 2020 @ 23:08:12
Cute couple. 🙂
Aug 25, 2020 @ 04:09:07
Lol thank you 💜
Aug 29, 2020 @ 12:46:32
A wonderful and unique post Willow. I hope you feel stronger soon. Have a safe and happy weekend.
Aug 29, 2020 @ 14:25:50
