I’ve been having fun with Photobucket lately. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a great free online photo editing site.
You can upload your photos and change them completely. You can reverse images, colors, tones, hues, add borders and texts… in short, have fun!
The two I’ve been working on started as these originals:
and ended up with these great quote-photos I love!
The first quote is my favorite, from Louis L’Amour:
The second is something I posted on my personal facebook wall that was well received, so as a reminder to myself I made it into this photo. I took this photo at the Mission Inn in Riverside, CA over a year ago. It was early morning, the sun was just beginning to show its light, and I’ll never forget the quiet beauty of that moment.
In the near future, I hope to have many more creative expressions. How do you express yourself? Leave a comment or even link up your posts on this week’s “What’s the Word?” Wednesday Blog Hop. Oh, yeah. That’s the very first photo editing I did.
Pretty cool, huh?

So. Here’s the thing. The response to “What’s the Word?” Wednesday hasn’t been building as much as I’d like. But the permeating message I’ve come to understand and hold on to lately has been “patience” and “slow and steady”.
Just because I can’t see the fruits of my labor doesn’t mean there aren’t any. And so this week I invite you to leave your comments and links regarding anything you want to talk about. Have pets? Did someone make you smile? Need prayer? Write something deserving of attention? Prefer Pepsi over Coke?
I really look forward to reading what’s going on in your lives! I want to know what you want to read about, what’s going on in Mr. Rogers’ neighborhoods, who makes you happy…
My goal is to collect 20 comments/links before next week.
So c’mon. Spill your guts. Or not. Tell your secrets, or fluff. Whatever you want to share.
What’s the Word? Wednesdays is a linky that allows other bloggers to share whatever is on their minds that they want to talk about. Think of it as a virtual coffee date with some great friends.
What’s going on in your world? Tell us all about it!
A few things to remember:
- Each week’s linky is valid from Wednesday through the following Tuesday. So if you link a post today, you can still come back and link another post tomorrow!
- If you add a link, please put the badge on your post as well.
- Be sure to check out what others are posting, and even leave a few comments.
After all, a great coffee date is one where everyone gets to chat, dontcha think?

[*This post was originally intended for Tuesday, June 19, 2012. At the time, I opted not to publish it.]
So. There’s this fluxuating see-saw inside of me. Do I write for the sake of writing, exposing you to dribble and drab? Or do I take a break and not post anything at all?
Either way is not a happy option for me. But right now I have nothing worth saying. All my words are tied up inside of me, and what I need to say can’t be spoken. What I want to say is senseless.
I recently promised you no more mundane posts. No more nothingness from the recesses of my mind.
So I have nothing. I have everything inside, and nothing I can share right now.
I apologize for that. But I thank you for continuing to read.
In the meantime, I’ll wrack my brain to come up with important, substantial writings.
In the meantime, I hope you’ll stay tuned.
Cuz I may have nothin’ right now. But it ain’t gonna stay that way for long!
And that’s a promise!
