The letter for today my little lovelies is G. This is Day 7 of the
A to Z Challenge.
Using the letters of the alphabet as a starting point, bloggers are
challenged to write a post everyday except Sunday. It's a good way to
meet new authors and bloggers, learn about interesting books and topics
and gain readership. If you stalk me (follow) I will stalk you!
My posts are loosely based on emotions/mental drama and anguish while
introducing you to some books bearing the same or closely related
titles/themes.
G is for Giggle!
G. Such an interesting shaped letter. It is part circle, part vertical line and some strange little things at the beginning and the end. Well, I am at a loss for the dear letter G! I know! The shame! The ginormous horror! This is noticias grande'!
Then I thought of the word giggle.
I have a cousin, I have several actually, but she was my closest and dearest friend. The years have managed to come between our friendship and we have long periods of no communication. Even though we actually lived in different States, we were together every summer and 99% of all holidays and many just- because- we -live -close -enough- to- drive- up- for- the- weekend occasions!
We had so much fun together and got into quite a bit of mischief! Our antics would bring us into fits of laughter, but then she laughed at everything. The silliness would either start or being with a giggle. She would giggle incessantly.
Even today a few years older, a marriage and a couple of kids later, she still has that infectious giggle. It made me laugh as a child and the memories of our childhood and that giggle brings tears of joy to my eyes.
Here's to you my giggling cousin, as we grow older I pray we will always love each other, be best friends and never forget to giggle!

Do you have a friend who causes you to loose it completely in laughs and giggles?
As we embark on another day of chocolate, flowers and diamonds, I still do not like Valentines Day and I continue to be irritated by the forced expressions of "love" that will be portrayed. Hopefully, last year's post-Valentine's Day attack will be a thing of the past and the disappointed women across America will turn the frown upside down and say "thank you." The attitude exhibited by this young lady explains
why I call the 14th of February, Valoween. This day is clearly scarier
than Halloween. It frightens me how society
designates one day out of three hundred sixty-five to
"show" love. With the constant barrage of ads from
florists, chocolatiers and jewelry stores telling men across America to
make the day special with a diamond, because like your undying love for
her, it too, will last forever, the real meaning of love is lost among
the glossy, colorful ads and sentimental television commercials.
Several months ago, I created a Pinterest account and sat staring at the computer thinking, "now what?" Since I had no answers, I closed the page and ended my journey in Pin-land.
