"A" Is For "Attention Span"

Our friend Denise has a fun game called "ABC Wednesday". I don't usually participate in these sorts of things, because they are usually guided by the person who is running them, and I like to think for myself. However, Denise's is different in that we simply do a post using that particular letter of the alphabet, starting with "A", "B", "C" ... well, you get the idea. But the fun thing is, she has so many people participating, that it's a great way to learn of new blogs and meet new people. At the moment I have zero ideas on which to do blog posts, so ... that is my blog post.

We are having a spectacular summer here in Vancouver, and my mind is outdoors, playing in the sunshine. For the time being, my "Attention Span" is just slightly less than that of a fruit fly. I hope everyone out there is having a wonderful summer. I know I am ...! And check out Denise's "ABC Wednesday". It's fun.

It seems that the Attention span is over! This fitted very well, and is one of the essences of ABC - you can twist and turn whatever you have into something usable. I once did one on Inspiration - or rather the lack of it.

HI!
Great "A" post! Attention Span is a wonderful one to use, as we all have trouble with attention span not working well sometimes. Have a great day!

I wanted to tell you about my attention span problem because ....

I would love to help you with your, uh, short attention span!

I have a feeling SAS could be corrected given the right circumstances!

Now, for some reason, I am going to be suffering from SAS all day!! What was I saying? I guess my mind was some place else....!

Is this Tuesday?

You've got my Attention, Alrighty! Your blog image skips me to the letter "C," as in "Cheese!" Yep, I'm smiling for your in hand-camera!

My today's "A": Adage: a quotable from my daughter Puppet!

Glad to have you join us in this, Josie! I've been having a lot of fun with it and I just know your "attention span" will soon end and you'll be regaling us with tons of great words, photos, and lessons about ART, your home town of Vancouver, and sundry other ideas. Welcome!

Attention span??? I got that one nailed the last few days...can't seem to focus on anything! ha! :)

Fun post.

Yesterday my post title was "Aspen Weekend" - I know it doesn't count, but it's still a coincidence. And, because of Aspen, my Attention Span is nil because I'm still in those beautiful mountains!

Aμέσως -Greek for at once- off to check the blog you mentioned.
Wish you even today a wonderful weekend.

Oh wait a minute. Was my comment supposed to be about attention spans?

Sounds like a fun game, Josie. Some days I have absolutely no attention span. Flit, flit, flit. Other day, I don't have enough energy to attend to more than one thing. D

I decided to do this round too! It's going to be fun...Love the photo.

Marguerite said...

You've got to grab that summer fun while you can, Jo! Great photo!

In this case A is for "Awww, that's absolutely adorable, alright." You take a very sunny photo, Jo. You look lovely, but you also look so cheerful.

Winter down here, remember. Although we had super "summer" over the last week or two. Cold and wet today, but we are in great need for some rain, so I am rejoicing.

Hello Jo - welcome to ABC Wednesday! I know exactly what you mean about your attention span. Mine is hovering around fruit fly level too! LOL!
