Random Thoughts From A-Z


In case you haven't noticed I've been away from blogosphere, or at least my own site for at least 3 weeks now. I've been asked by a friend recently if I had any plans of posting anything in the not too distant future and the answer, my dear, is absofuckinglutely! Writing has always been my most pleasurable hobby, and blogging, my most gratifying.

Due to my long (and unexpected) absence, I've been severely backlogged in my blog duties among them the traditional memes. Among those whom I owe is a dear blogger friend Leena.

I've decided to respond to her 26 things meme. However, instead of writing 26 things you probably didn't know about me, I've chosen to write about words that almost always leave me perplexed, more like my own version of wordplay if you will. Here it goes.......

A - ATTITUDE - years in your life VS. life in your years

B - BATTLES - big enough to matter VS. small enough to win


C - CHARACTER - doing things right VS. doing the right thing


D - DOUBT - the beginning of wisdom VS. the end of wisdom


E - EDUCATION - length VS. breadth

F - FORGIVENESS - forgiving oneself VS. forgiving others

G - GRACE - getting what we deserve VS. not getting what we do deserve

H - HOPE - wings VS. landing gear

I - IDLING - leisure VS. laziness

J - JUDGEMENT - decision VS. hesitation

K - KEEP - retain VS. prevent

L - LOVE - savoring its pleasures VS. anticipating its tragedies

M - MORTALITY - benediction VS. hex

N - NORMALCY - monotonous VS. piqued

O - OPPORTUNITY - was it lost? VS. was it taken by the other person?

P - POLITICS - people who do things VS. people who do nothing but take all the credit

Q -QUIET - tranquil VS. lifeless

R - REASONS - good sound reasons VS. reasons that sound good

S - SUCCESS - taking the elevator VS. taking the stairs

T - TIME - ally VS. enemy

U - UTOPIA - illusion VS. delusion

V - VISIONS - dreaming VS. believing

W - WAR - fighting VS. resisting

X - XENOPHOBIA - fear VS. hatred

Y - YOUTH - state of mind VS. state of age

Z - ZENITH - beginning of the end VS. end of the beginning

Your thoughts???

In turn I tag those whom I owe links as well namely J.D., Pusa, and Ramon.

A million thanks to my dear commenters as well; J.D. (I owe you a lot LOL), Annita (I still owe you that letter dear :), Liudmila, Canuck Chick, Buraot, Elay, Julie, and Chesca. Thank you guys :)

My dear, you don't owe me anything :-)I'm thrilled to see you've posted. I've missed you.
Interesting post BTW. Well done. Love the letter "D" in your wordplay. Let's see, I'll have to add this MEME to the growing list of those I haven't done yet ... LOL. I'll get to it one day when you least expect it. I promise.
Another thing...please please please put the MW logo on your site so I can add you to the Midnight Wanderers Society roster. Of all people I would like to see you nestled in amongst us :-)

ivy, this was an awesome post. you are so creative and my brain hurt just thinkin about how you came up with all that! ;)

i'd have to say i identify mostly with grace, mortality, politics, utopia and youth. WOW, you completely hit the nail on the head with those for me. and if you read my post today, you might see why...LOL...well maybe not completely, but thinking about all those things has sooo consumed my time...and for what benefit yet, im not sure.

i'm learning where that healthy balance is for me. and what things ARE worth stewing over. thank you for sharing--i ALWAYS love your point of view. completely real and honest.

(im rambling. LOL.)

Weekend is coming. Hope you have a great and restful one, dear.

HUGSSSS for ya!!
