Take Time for Small Reflections
Yez ... I know it's Thursday, but ...
I found this at Grandy's a while back ... decided to share today ... to give myself a 'break' and allow myself to catch up a bit. I've got TONS of emails, too many unread blog posts in my 'reader' ... and comments on my blogs crying out for 'responses' from me. Of course, I'm also watching the Olympic events this morning I couldn't stay awake for last night ... just because. I'll share more later on this too.
| What Storyteller Means |
 You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. |
Hmmm ... most of this seems 'right on' ... though it's 'off' in places, so perhaps I'll add 'comments' later.
For now I'm watching Misty May & Kerry Walsh play against the young Chinese team for Gold in the rain because I was just too tired last night to stay up for this beach volleyball match and didn't want to miss anything. They've taken the first game 21-18 and are TIED at 13-13 the second ... so it's all very exciting. I'm taking a quick break to post this and get a coffee refill ... then I'll savor the rest. Hope YOU'RE all having a delightful day!
10:15am Addendum - I can't resist celebrating!!!
This was Kerry's 100th win and Misty's 103rd ... and together they're the ONLY beach volleyball team to win consecutive Olympic Gold Medals. I went a little overboard with the collages, but there were just so many wonderful photos of this at Yahoo Sports that I couldn't decide which to skip.
Imagine That!!!
What do you think of my new pictorial 'header' here and at Sacred Ruminations? I realized I've got little 'glitches' in the HTML coding of my 'templates' ... but overall I'm happy to have figured out how to make these changes on my own. I've been wanting to do this (and experimenting periodically without much success until now) for months!

I really like the new header :) The image is gorgeous.
My name came out the same as yours. I must say, some of it is off, but the "find yourself restless"- yup, that's me!
PS. I Love your Header!
I did my name meaning too and I think it was way off the mark, but still fun to read.

Akelamalu, Kitten, Ivanhoe, Sandy and Tammy
Thanks to all of you for playing along and sharing your results. I intended to go back and add comments as I often do, but the day is getting away from me and catching up seemed like the greater priority. I hope you all had as much fun with this one as I did. Actually, these results have been in ‘drafts’ for a couple of weeks since I saw it at Grandy’s. This morning it seemed a great substitution for my usual T-13. I had great fun later creating and adding the three photo collages of the ‘beach volleyball’ event after Misty May and Kerry Walsh won Gold for the second Olympics in a row. You might want to check them out on your next visit if you dropped by early. Thanks to Sandy and Kitten for the feedback on my new header. I’ve been working on getting the dimensions right for a while now … and it’s very close currently. I hope you each had a delightful day!
Hugs and blessings,
Hi, Storyteller :)
Your collages are so nicely done. I enjoy seeing what you will come up with next!
I've been doing a little research and have discovered that the Spam Karma utility that is installed on my blog is no longer supported (I guess that means updated) by its creator (as of mid-July), yet of course I continue to install Word Press updates as they come along.
With my son's help, I hope to correct the problem some friends (such as you) are having when they attempt to leave comments over at my blog. :(
Joyce – Thanks so much. Looking at them again just now I’m quite pleased with them myself. I’ve had 4 weeks off from my PSE6 class and it’s been good to practice so I didn’t lose my newly gained skills since the advanced class begins next Tuesday morning. I’ll be back in the saddle (so to speak) on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the next 10 weeks and hopefully learning even more about using Photoshop Elements features. I hope your son can figure out what the issue is with comments w/o too much difficulty. Hope you have a pleasant evening.
Hugs and blessings,
Wow. You have been busy. I scrolled down the page and enjoyed all your Olympics collages. I like watching gymnastics and sometimes the swimming and diving.
Lots to catch up on here. I did the name thing. Not sure it worked for me. They kept saying I was a Type A - with each of the names I tried putting in... and a bunch of things that didn't seem very accurate.
I'm going to visit for a while but I may not comment. I'm kind of on strike at the moment from my already irregular visiting and commenting.
Love your collages.
I just LOVE these little Olympic pictoral collages you've made Virginia. They are really awesome. You are making some very cool things on your site now....kudos to you. ~Joy xo
And Misty May & Kerry.... I watched most of their matches....too cool.
Oh............and I love your new header....beautiful and serene. ~Joy
I will have to try that 'what does your name mean' quiz.
Hope your Friday will be a super one dear storyteller.
I've done this and will post it on my blog over the weekend
You make me feel in good company, knowing you are behind as well. :) I like your new headers on both blogs!
Raven, Joy, Hootin’ Anni, ChrisB, and Lisa,
I’m glad you enjoyed my Olympics Collages. I’ve managed to stay ‘on top of posting daily’ here at Small Reflections but have neglected my other blogs lately. I’ve tried to keep up with blog visits but am struggling too. I did finally manage to catch up on responses to comments on all 3 blogs yesterday and to get my email down to 75 from 650+ (checking the little box gets me in trouble often but I can’t seem to help myself). Of course, I was away from the computer most of today … so I’m behind again. Sigh! I do appreciate finding your comments and will try to visit your blogs tomorrow, but I’m about to call it a night and watch some Olympics coverage (and tennis too) before turning in for the night. Thanks so much for visiting and I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Hugs and blessings,
I love your Olympics collages.
Just posted my results on my blog.
Yertle – Thanks. I’ve enjoyed creating and sharing them … keeping my ‘skills’ current for the advanced PSE class beginning next Tuesday. I enjoyed seeing your results at Smile, Play, Dream and think it’s ‘kewl’ that you did it twice … once with your alias and once with your real name.
Hugs and blessings,
