In the past I hosted a meme called pondering with a purpose - it was really just a way to give a single word prompt and see what became of it.
I have been requested to start this up again.
So today we will do the word MUG in honor of a few of my favorite people.
Go ahead and link up a post if you'd like and I'll get this format down within the next couple of weeks.
When I think of the word mug the first thing that pops into my mind is a coffee cup (obviously Les!)
It used to be that a mug was just that... a mug
But in today's world a mug is more of a statement:

An expression of who we are
OR: a mug is a baking dish! :

But does mug mean anything else to you? Of course if you live in a rough neighborhood a mug is not something you drink out of but rather something you live through...
If you live in the British Isles, a mug is a fool
and then what about a mug shot???
Thanks for hosting this again, Brenda. I enjoy "word" writing prompts, as they make me think and write. Yours always make me "ponder". Thank you for that, too.
ReplyDeleteThis one is dedicated to you!
DeleteI am honoured. You are very kind.
DeleteAbsolutely - first thing I think of is "fill er up with leaded please!" LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd I do absolutely have my favourite mug too. Hubby is the opposite -- obviously he thinks "mug" as in face, or the "mug shot". despite the fact that I am sure he and his fellow officers drink way more coffee than I on shift.
So, I am just back from big grocery haul and have to start dinner - so I will probably miss this link up. but if you are going to continue on -- I'll see you next week! It might be a good idea to give some advance notice of the prompt (unless you want it to be more of stream of consciousness thing.) That's what I did with my weekly chat now: there's a stand alone page that gives the prompts a few weeks ahead of time.
that's a great idea....if I can remember how to do that....and create the artwork!!!
Deleteold age is not fun!
Indeed we shall most gladly ponder with you again! I was delighted to see your post up, and I hope you find my little entry worthy. :-)
ReplyDeleteI did... and I do!
DeleteThank you, Les, for sharing 'pondering' again on fb. I had checked the old blog a few times to see, but there was no pondering going on there. Glad you are back, Brenda. Les' idea is excellent about early prompt. That might give people like me a chance too. Maybe see you next week - too late for now :)
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia,
DeleteThanks for stopping by and I will get that page up this weekend with upcoming prompts
