Weekly Wordzzle Challenge # 179 Revisited


Still going with the story of Fred Johnson,  Paragon of Virtue.

Wednesday, Nov. 29:  Since it has taken me so long to finally do this, I thought I'd copy the post at the top of the blog in case anyone comes looking. Sorry it took me so long.

Words for this week's 10 word challenge were:  rumble, grumble, tumble, mumble humble,stumble, fumble, bumble, crumble, jumble   And for the mini: mice, twice, splice,  price, slice, spice 



My mega:   

At the appointed hour Psycho arrived at the Paragon's door mumbling irritably about mice, the price of heating a fortress, and something Fred didn't quite understand about twice spliced fragments of something or other. Even Cane seemed to sense the pain that lay beneath the surface and quietly butted his head against the Count's hand. Unsure how to proceed, Fred finally decided to let the magic of one of Confetti's meals do it's work before he broached the delicate subject of the Count's missing mother. "Come sit," he said to his guest, "Confetti seems to have outdone himself tonight. Something he calls Humble Tumble Bumble Crumble Casserole and slices of his amazing spice cake for dessert. I don't know about you, but my stomach is grumbling and rumbling both, I'm so hungry." They didn't talk much as they ate, though the healing power of Confetti's cooking did seem to soothe Psycho's spirit in some way. Finally, fumbling for words, his thoughts jumbled by his fear of stumbling and saying the wrong thing, Fred finally said. "I'm sorry about your mother. Bubbles and McFlash told me the story and showed me her portrait. If you will forgive me for saying so, I don't believe she left you voluntarily. Something about her portrait spoke to my heart. I saw your pain when I spoke of my mother so I hope you forgive me for speaking about something sensitive."  He expected a caustic reply, perhaps or a snort. Instead, much to the Paragon's shocked surprise, he saw tears running down Psycho's cheeks."


My mini:

With the deep instinct most dogs have for healing, Cane rested his head on the Counts leg, a gesture which unleashed deep sobs.  Fred, not all that comfortable with deep emotion, could only think to offer the count another slice of spice cake. They sat in silence for a time. Twice the Count tried to speak only to break into another round of tears. Finally, he managed to splice together a few sentences, fraught with a palpable agony.  "My mother paid a heavy price for loving me. I know my father was evil. We were all - even me - mice or maybe ants in his eyes.


And the 10-word:  rumble,  

"She was a wonderful mother," he continued, "gentle and kind. And she loved to laugh.... she used to make up poems for me sometimes.... This was one of my favorites.

Do not grumble when you stumble
If you tumble or you fumble
If your thoughts go all a-jumble
Or some task you somehow bumble
There is no reason you should crumble, 
No excuse to groan or mumble
Let it keep you wise and  humble
Mistakes, my child, are how we learn.


He looked up and smiled and Fred could see the innocent child who hid inside the twisted monster who sat across from him. "Thank you for seeing that she loved me. When you said it, for the first time in many years, I knew it was true...  You have given me a priceless gift. And restored my appetite. Do you hear my stomach rumbling again even after all we ate? I think I will take another slice of that cake."  Tears in his own eyes, now, the Paragon passed his guest a thick slice of cake and whispered, " I don't know why, but I think your mother is alive and trapped and that a purple teddy bear is somehow key to finding her." "You mean Candy?" the Count replied, his voice shaking with emotion? "My father took him and hid him somewhere just before my mother 'left." 




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Words for next week's 10-word challenge:  parasite, changeable, fertile, chance, gravity, artist, arrival, shaken, fake, music

And for the mini: wonder, wing, flowers, drunk, purpose

Daily Reminder # 532

I think I'm going to take a few days - maybe even the rest of the month - off for a little renewal. I'll make sure I do last week's Wordzzle, but let's put off this week's until December 2nd.  I wish everyone in my country a Happy Thanksgiving this week and those from other parts of the world much to be thankful for less formally.  I hope you enjoy this beautiful video. It's truly lovely.



See you in December. 
May You Be Blessed with All Good Things

Daily Reminder # 531


Just gratitude again.  Not such a good day. Still haven't done Wordzzles. (REALLY sorry about that... very irresponsible of me.) Slightly under the weather. I think I have not been sleeping enough and am trying to correct that. Would really like to shift my schedule but seem unable to do it. Every night I think I'll go to bed earlier and every night I don't. Sigh.  American's government continues not to function.  What's really pathetic is that the morons in Congress don't seem to recognize that they are betraying the people of the nation and making our nation pathetic in the eyes of the world.... all in the name of keeping billionaires from paying a pittance more in taxes. Really. Absurd in the extreme. Grrr.  Occupy Wall Street, on the other hand, is bringing out the best and the worst in us. They give me hope, though.




Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-grataitude, an effort to endear myself to the Creative Forces of the Universe and to inspire them to hear my hope and my gratitude and say to themselves...

Daily Reminder # 530

Something a little different today, I think. Some friends emailed this video to me and I enjoyed it very much. For some reason I think it should stand alone for today's reminder. I will do gratitude in my head and heart.





HALLELUJAH!

Daily Reminder # 528


Just gratitude tonight.... and a tiny tale of woe-ish-ness. I wrote to one of my nieces yesterday that one of my biggest fears about our resident mouse is that Angel would catch it and bring it to bed with me. She came very close. Around 5:30 am I heard loud wailing... Angel's "look what I found" cry on steroids. Into the bedroom she marched, clearly in possession of something very precious (to her) and very alive. Mercifully she didn't or couldn't manage to bring it actually onto the bed. It escaped her or she let it go. There was a lot of chasing around the room and scurrying while I cowered under the covers. At one point Angel came up onto the bed and I screamed at her (thinking she might not be alone) and then felt kind of bad about it.  On the up side. We are all still alive and I didn't have a complete nervous breakdown. I'm hoping two things (at least): that this is/was an only mouse and that it's adventures this morning have made it think better of taking up residence with us here. Time will tell, I guess. Please pray that it moves out and that Angel doesn't become a killer.

MAY YOUR DAY BE RICH IN WONDER

Weekly Wordzzle Challenge # 179


Still going with the story of Fred Johnson,  Paragon of Virtue. Here are links to the previous episodes.  If you need/want to catch up, click here for the 1st installment, 2nd installment3rd installment4th installment5th installment6th installment7th installment.8th installment9th installment10th installment11th installment12th installment13th installment14th installment15th installment16th installment17th installment, 18th installment...


Tuesday 11/22 Update.   I'm taking the rest of the month off, though I WILL do these exercises during that time. The next Wordzzles will be postponed, though, until December 2nd at which point I will hopefully approach them with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

Words for this week's 10 word challenge were:  rumble, grumble, tumble, mumble humble,stumble, fumble, bumble, crumble, jumble   And for the mini: mice, twice, splice,  price, slice, spice 



My mega:   

At the appointed hour Psycho arrived at the Paragon's door mumbling irritably about mice, the price of heating a fortress, and something Fred didn't quite understand about twice spliced fragments of something or other. Even Cane seemed to sense the pain that lay beneath the surface and quietly butted his head against the Count's hand. Unsure how to proceed, Fred finally decided to let the magic of one of Confetti's meals do it's work before he broached the delicate subject of the Count's missing mother. "Come sit," he said to his guest, "Confetti seems to have outdone himself tonight. Something he calls Humble Tumble Bumble Crumble Casserole and slices of his amazing spice cake for dessert. I don't know about you, but my stomach is grumbling and rumbling both, I'm so hungry." They didn't talk much as they ate, though the healing power of Confetti's cooking did seem to soothe Psycho's spirit in some way. Finally, fumbling for words, his thoughts jumbled by his fear of stumbling and saying the wrong thing, Fred finally said. "I'm sorry about your mother. Bubbles and McFlash told me the story and showed me her portrait. If you will forgive me for saying so, I don't believe she left you voluntarily. Something about her portrait spoke to my heart. I saw your pain when I spoke of my mother so I hope you forgive me for speaking about something sensitive."  He expected a caustic reply, perhaps or a snort. Instead, much to the Paragon's shocked surprise, he saw tears running down Psycho's cheeks."


My mini:

With the deep instinct most dogs have for healing, Cane rested his head on the Counts leg, a gesture which unleashed deep sobs.  Fred, not all that comfortable with deep emotion, could only think to offer the count another slice of spice cake. They sat in silence for a time. Twice the Count tried to speak only to break into another round of tears. Finally, he managed to splice together a few sentences, fraught with a palpable agony.  "My mother paid a heavy price for loving me. I know my father was evil. We were all - even me - mice or maybe ants in his eyes.


And the 10-word:  rumble,  

"She was a wonderful mother," he continued, "gentle and kind. And she loved to laugh.... she used to make up poems for me sometimes.... This was one of my favorites.

Do not grumble when you stumble
If you tumble or you fumble
If your thoughts go all a-jumble
Or some task you somehow bumble
There is no reason you should crumble, 
No excuse to groan or mumble
Let it keep you wise and  humble
Mistakes, my child, are how we learn.


He looked up and smiled and Fred could see the innocent child who hid inside the twisted monster who sat across from him. "Thank you for seeing that she loved me. When you said it, for the first time in many years, I knew it was true...  You have given me a priceless gift. And restored my appetite. Do you hear my stomach rumbling again even after all we ate? I think I will take another slice of that cake."  Tears in his own eyes, now, the Paragon passed his guest a thick slice of cake and whispered, " I don't know why, but I think your mother is alive and trapped and that a purple teddy bear is somehow key to finding her." "You mean Candy?" the Count replied, his voice shaking with emotion? "My father took him and hid him somewhere just before my mother 'left."

Words for next week's 10-word challenge:  parasite, changeable, fertile, chance, gravity, artist, arrival, shaken, fake, music

And for the mini: wonder, wing, flowers, drunk, purpose

Daily Reminder # 527


It was chilly and damp today and you can feel winter in the air.  Supposed to snow this evening too.  On the up side, I got Margaret to put out this totally disgusting pumpkin bread I got last week. There is almost nothing I won't eat, but this stuff was horrific. I tried butter on it, and even cheese. Nothing could make it edible to me.  Fortunately, the birds liked it.  Beyond that, I have no thoughts of my own this evening, but, I haven't shared any Neale Donald Walsch for a while and I thought this was a rough one (I myself am not likely to adhere to it), but a good one worth sharing. 



On this day of your life, dear friend, 
I believe God wants you to know...
...that it is time to move into uncharted lands.

If you want to do something you have never done before,
you have to do something you have never done before.
If you want to go somewhere you have never gone before,
you have to go somewhere you have never gone before.

You cannot do something new by doing old things. If
you want your life to change, you have to change your
life. So go ahead. It's safe. And it's also... about time.

Love, Your Friend....

Daily Reminder # 525

Just gratitude and some music tonight. Got better sleep last night than I have for a while, but I'm still struggling with tiredness, winter blues and - I think - loneliness. The curse of being a reluctant hermit.  I liked the words to this song, more than the song itself.  We could use some prayers for Tara Grace again.

Daily Reminder # 524


Just gratitude again today. Still feeling lazy, though I had a better day today than yesterday.  Mouse anxiety continues to plague me. It unfortunate that even when I try to reason with my brain, it doesn't always listen.  So it goes.  On a happier note, thanks to Argent, I downloaded the free Kindle app and a free book.  Will see how it goes with that.






Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to inspire affection and generosity on the part of the Creative Forces of the Universe in hopes that they will help me create/receive abundance and cool and wonderful blessings like truckloads of money and clothes dryers and other good stuff.)
