This morning I found out that I had won the opportunity to make an entry in a travelling journal. Quinn McDonald over at QuinnCreative is celebrating 1,500 blog posts! I’m in awe of that tally. She posts daily, has great insight, provides on a variety of topics and creative endeavours, and what’s more, she responds to people who comment. It’s one of the blogs I check in on daily.
So there’s Quinn, a model of consistency when it comes to her blog . . . and here’s me with my sporadic posts. I bet she’s no less busy than me, in fact I bet the only difference is that she’s got different priorities and probably a tad better organised.
My priorities are fine, family and friends first and work after that – I guess I’m in there too somewhere but where? I think I need myself up the list and make myself more visible!
Spring is definitely here which is a good time for new beginnings mmm?
And what have I been noticing? This, I pass by this sign on a regular basis and had to stop and take a photo.
I can see nothing right with this sign. It is on the end wall of a small grocery shop, the wall itself has been painted as if it belonged on a pre-school or crèche although I can’t see one near by. There are big advertisements posted for grocery specials in the shop . . . and this!
The figures look happy and excited as they follow the arrows, but the sign points in the other direction! Why? A ‘Shop Open’ sign I can understand but ‘Baby Open’? And no, I haven’t been playing with the photo. What is it all about?
I guess it would be simple enough to go into the shop and ask if they know, but sometimes puzzlement is a delicious feeling to hold on to. It makes me smile.

this is too funny! Maybe the arrows point in the direction of escaping the confines of the classroom/nursery. Maybe around the corner is some joyous delight … like ice cream. I’d have to stop and ask the shop keeper the story behind it.
The question is definitely going to to be asked . . .and maybe I’ll get myself that ice cream.
I LOVE this sign, and it would never occur to me to stop in and ask. Why, when the delicious confusion it creates helps lift the day.
Hmm, but I do, kind of, want to know what it’s about. Then again, if it’s something really ordinary, I’ll be disappointed.
I’m excited that you are out on an adventure with life. I’m not more organized, I’m just determined. And that is what it takes to do much of anything. So, about the sign–in my practical, no-nonsense head, it says that there is a baby-nursing facility, or a baby-changing area open around the corner. But now I’m curious!
I’ve had a good look around, and without asking I’ll never find out – I must admit I’m torn as to whether I want to live with this mystery.
