However, I also received some rather creative captions for my picture that I posted on Wordless Wednesday: Caption Wanted. I was rather surprised and somewhat disappointed that the Michael Jackson impersonator didn't garner more views and/or comments in Tantalizing Tuesday: Child MJ Impersonator. (By the way, if anyone finds the video from 'China's Got Talent' with Canadian subtitles, please DO let me know so I can post it!) One of my shortest posts this week, "100 Words: Write to Change the World" brought more comments than I expected.
What post(s) would you most favour of mine this past week (Monday to Friday)? And why?
************************************************************************************
In terms of other blog posts I read this past week which were many, these are a few that I really liked:
Usha (as in Usha Menon) whose name I love as well as her nickname 'eccentricgrandmum' posted Haiku and Humour which I found quite amusing! :) (http://eccentricgrandmum.blogspot.ca/2014/09/carpe-diem-ghot-writer-27-haiku-and.html
Penny McDaniel again wrote a lovely post, Bee Here Now. I appreciated the creativity and colourfulness of the words and images: (http://pennymcdaniel.com/bee-here-now/#comment-1471)
Has there ever been a Mrs. B in Your Life? by Judy Yaron as she shares story with wit and humour: a delightful read (http://www.cutthecrapsolutions.com/#!Has-there-ever-been-a-Mrs-B-in-your-life/clxq/450AA109-FAC8-46DB-BED7-1419661EAA9B).
I could say this one is in a league of its own: The Creep by Vinodini Iyer as her posts are, well, read them and you'll find out! ;) (http://vinodinii.blogspot.in/2014/09/the-creep.html)
Other posts of a serious and courageous kind were Francene Stanley's - can't seem to find it - and Amy Bovaird's Climbing Mountains: My Passion - Pursuing a “Can Do” Mindset (http://amybovaird.com/pursuing-a-can-do-mindset/), the latter about her dogged determination to climb a mountain no matter what, that is, with a lack of night vision!
As today is World Gratitude Day, what are you most grateful for? For me today: blogging community of friends around the world! :)
Nice of you to feature other blogs Elly!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week
Wow! Thanks Amaia! I didn't even 'feature' you and yet you are wowed: how delightful! ;) <3
DeleteThanks for the mention Elly! I'm grateful for having friends like you around me in the blogging world who keep boosting each other's morale and constantly encouraging each other. I loved the 'Fire' video posted in your Friday post - no words to describe it!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome sista! ;) I'm grateful to have you too to kick my butt occasionally or do I do a good enough job doing that to myself? Yes, I loved that video too though in person was of course, even better, albeit I LOVED the piece of music to the video! :) <3

ReplyDeleteRandom Thoughts Naba...A Theory and Some Gratitude......
Thanks Nabanita. Yeah, I was totally blown away - WOWED like a kid when watching them live in person. I swear I kept saying, "Wow! WoW! WOW!" the whole time while watching them! The video still wowed me though! ;) <3
DeleteElly, I don't know how to thank you,for your words of appreciation. I am humbled! God bless you.
ReplyDeleteThe fire video was so enticing that I showed it to my grandchildren. Thank you for every thing.
My pleasure Usha! :) <3 And I'm glad your grandchildren got to watch it! ;)
DeleteYou are always so kind and generous, dear Elly ,with your thoughts and comments. They are not just encouraging like Vinodini mentioned, they also bring people together - especially when they come from across the globe. That is special. HUGS <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy. :) <3 I love meeting people from different cultures, even if it is across the globe online and I just realized in typing that, that blog is globe backwards almost! ;)
DeleteWHat a lovely idea to feature other blogs once a week. Such a treasure, Elly :)
