Blank

As in an empty mind. That's what I have.

Seems that spring break brings with it a lazy BRAIN. Which leads to a blank mind. Which leads to a BLANK page.

How I would love to be the bearer of something deep...profound...enlightening...life changing.

But, no. I am BLANK.

Would that I could bring some new and exciting ideas to light...write about exciting, thrilling experiences...share stories that would amaze, stun and delight.

Still, I am BLANK.

Maybe an empty mind comes with an empty nest.

Then I thought, maybe it's all in how you look at the word, 'BLANK'. You know, like the half empty or half full glass.

When I first think of BLANK, I think empty. Nothingness. An absence of everything. No words, sounds, pictures, feelings...a vast nothing.

But then decide to put a more positive spin on BLANK.

I started looking at my BLANK mind as an opportunity to start. To BEGIN.

So, I turned off all noises (a definite perk of an empty nest), took myself to the BACK door, sat myself and my BUM knee in a chair and waited.

Suddenly, a BLUE JAY landed on the deck rail to partake of the tasty treat I had put out on Saturday---

And a BUMBLE BEE came by the screen. I could actually hear him as he came in close to the screen and circled out and back again. And again. BZZZzzzzzzzz, BZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.

I noticed that some of my flowers had begun to BLOOM like these---

I listened to the neighbor's dogs BARKING and noticed the difference BETWEEN their "There's a squirrel in that tree!!!" BARK and their "There's someone walking down our street!!!" BARK. 

Who knew that all I had to do was tune out so that I could tune in. And find something that begins with 'B'.


What do you do when you're BLANK?

Wow. I totally forgot to link to the challenge. I really AM blank! LOL

I'm linking this post to the second post of the April, A-Z Challenge!

Just click the badge below and see what everyone else came up with for the letter 'B'. 

Also, I'm doing the Relay For Life with our school in May. If anyone would like to donate (not because any of us are competing or anything...well, yes, because we are competing) just click HERE! FYI- the donations go straight to Relay for Life NOT to me! Thanks!
