August and Vacation Begins

Happy Friday everyone. Today is the first day of August, and it’s like time is moving along quickly. We are beginning vacation today, and I am thrilled about that. Our plans to visit family, have a good time, and explore. Getting ready for vacation is the hard part, but being away can be the easy part. I will be posting stuff along the way through next week.

Let’s have a good August, good people. Much love. Much peace. Much fun.

Rest In Power, Wanda

Today a coworker of mine named Wanda will be laid to rest. She was a good person and a good coworker. I’m thinking of her family and friends who will miss her. May God be with those who she loved in the days ahead. Rest in power, Wanda.

A Note About Blogging

Blogging can be therapeutic and informational. It can be transformative and exciting. There is fun to be had when posting to your blog too. The cool kids are still blogging and some will resume soon.

Keep on blogging, good people.

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Credit

Being creative is fun, and it’s even more fun when you inspire others in your works. The use of someone’s work should come with acknowledgement and credit. I really strive to be original, but I do need inspiration now and then. My posts here include words, images, videos and other types of media from various sources.

I want to offer them thanks for allowing me to use this in a fair use way where I do not financially benefit. A little credit is a great way to be a good blogging neighbor. I want to thank Catherine for her inspiring me to write this post. Check out her article https://micqu.org/2025/07/28/credit-where-credit-is-due/ to gain more insight.
