Big & Small & In-between

M has thoughts.
My oldest granddaughter's experimental writing provides some insight into her thoughts. 

On our road trip home with her Mom, she was missing her Dad (note the hearts), but I'm unsure why the Grinch was on her mind? Ha. 

She's five now, and like all kids extra-ready to begin Kindergarten, she repeatedly asks, "How do you spell...?" Those other letters represented? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ She's figuring it out. 

After our European summer vacation, I too am figuring out how and what to share. Like M, I have some thoughts, and writing will help me unscramble the new people, places, things and ideas I experienced. Whether near or far, traveling never fails to provide perspective on the world's bigness, smallness, and in-between-ness... more to come soon.

      Ha, I hope I don't disappoint. We bloggers all live vicariously, don't we?

    Been wondering where you were, you've been very quiet. :)

    I love the 'how do you spell' stage. My favorite story of that variety is here: https://amimental.blogspot.com/2016/01/um-what.html

    Looking forward to your soon-to-be published posts. I know that blogging about my travels helps me to sort out what happened when (and also provides a record for the future).

    Seems like you were there for the heat wave! My sister was in Paris and said it was HOT. She had a great time in spite of it. I’m looking forward to reading about your adventures.

      Thank you. Yes, the weather was atypical: hot without much rain, typical for us western Canadians.

    It seems like Dr. Seuss is never too far from most kids' minds.

    Writing does help us unscramble the jumble of our thoughts, it’s so true. I often don’t know what I’m thinking till I write it out of me.
