Pondering with a Purpose - Leash

Welcome to Pondering with a Purpose -

 This is my weekly hop where I post a prompt and you get to write to it on your - come back here and add it to my linky and then we all get to go read what you wrote!

I started Pondering with a Purpose because -- simply put -- I am a writer - - that is what I do (I just can't help myself)! And although I love following all the hops, I wanted to see if I could bring out some creativity in not only myself, but some of my blogger friends as well.

The rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in my sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Come back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list below.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

Today's prompt is: Leash

I actually have a list of words queued up for this prompt...but today I was walking Trixy..

.and I realized that the leash I was using on her has many meanings...obviously the first one is the one I was utilizing.... a leash on a dog. However I have seen people use a leash on their children... how do you feel about that?

But the other meanings of leash is to 'reel in' as in to leash in one's opinions or children (metaphorically).

I would love to open the topic this week to your feelings on using leashes....

Please post a comment, or link up or better yet.... both!

A Summary of the Haps!

I thought I would bring you all up to date on what's taking all my time.... even though a lot of you have not found me yet :)

First and foremost this blog issue has taken a toll on me... do I switch over to a professional blog? Wordpress? I don't know... I think the charm of me is that this site is home grown and it still feels that way... I just hate that I've lost the history of the old one :(

OK... enough of the pity party...... time for visual aids:

 First: my grandson Ryan! I try to see him as often as I can and he is only getting cuter by the day!

 Then... there is my new granddaughter Annabelle who is also such a cutie!

Did I happen to mention that both live over 100 miles away from me?

And of course we can NEVER forget the cutie that lives with me.... Trixy!!!

then there are the projects that have occupied my time:

        Michelle's

Ryan's

Annabelle's

 At some point I anticipate getting back to writing and finish Cracked Cocoon....but for now.... there is just not enough time in the day!
