Happy-New-Year-2016-Wallapapers

A brand new year with the promise of a new beginning. It is funny how one day can be so different from another. Yesterday was so last year and today is what is happening now. I hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Eve. Mine is usually pretty mild. We normally have a nice dinner and then pretty much sit and do what we always do. A little talk, some iPad time and one hour of a favorite show that has been pre-recorded. We are usually in our reading room (a euphemism for the bedroom) well before midnight. On New Year’s Eve, we don’t make an exception. Of course, we do have to put up with the tourists who think it is legal to shoot off fireworks on the beach (it’s not). So we have an interlude of explosions and idiots yelling from midnight until about one o’clock. Maybe I’m being persnickety but I think the choice of being up for the new year should be mine.

Today’s JohnKu talks about the difference in one day to another. I hope you enjoy it and Happy New Year one more time.

Linda Hill is a volunteer to help launch My GRL. One has to wonder where she finds the time to volunteer or even eat for that matter. Currently Linda has two blogs: The latest is titled; Get On My Plate with a subtitle of Or I Will Eat You Right Now . This is the site that showcases Linda’s fiction. You will find a number of intriguing stories and poetry. Linda shows here talent is so many ways here which make frequent stops a must.

Her other site is titled simply Lindaghill Life in progress. It is here Linda talks about her experiences and her life. She has some touching antidotes with usually a twist from which all of us can take a lesson. Her writing runs a wide spectrum and if you pause to click on any of her tabs: Boy Series-One Through, Poetry, Life, On Writing and Parenting you will see the writer clawing to get out.  She also publishes contributions to the Just Jot it January which is a fun way to keep writing. Here is the information. There are only a few more days left in January, but as you can see you can participate any time.

Post on your site, and join Just Jot it January. The rules are easy!

1. It’s never too late to join in, since the “Jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post) counts as a “Jot.” If it makes it to WordPress that day, great! If it waits a week to get from the sticky note to your screen, no problem!

2. If you write a JusJoJan post on your blog, you can ping it back to the above link to make sure everyone participating knows where to find it.

3. Write anything!

4. Have fun!

Linda is also an Editor of the Community Story Board and well as a frequent contributor. Go to her blog and wish her a Happy Birthday. Today is Linda’s birthday and she still finds time to support others. Thanks Linda for helping with the launch.
