Blig, Blag, Blog
Updated: Jun 17, 2020
The words “blig, blag, blog” sizzle a bit on my tongue as I contemplate
the pitter-patter of thoughts that won’t leave my brain. I keep putting
them off until the soft pitter-patter turns into a crashing intensity that
tells me I must act on them.
Not long ago, my oldest granddaughter taught me the noun
onomatopoeia: the formation of a word from a sound associated with
what is named. That is what the other words in italics above are called
(in case you were in the dark as well). She laughed as I kept trying to
pronounce the word and was surprised that, as a teacher, I didn’t know
what an onomatopoeia was. It was a delightful exchange that left my
heart happy and reminded me how much more there is to learn and
share. One way to accomplish learning and sharing is through writing a
blog.
All this buzz is to introduce my blog: A Grand Perspective. The title
refers to the perspective taken from the lens of a grandmother watching
her children, her grandchildren, and all children around her
interact with the world around them. I hope to provide insights that
you’ll want to chomp on and be able to apply in your own life and share
with the children who know you as a grandparent, parent, teacher, or
friend.
