X is for ….X and Snapshot Saturday~April 27

I’m very glad I made a list of the things I used for the Blogging A to Z Challenge  last year.  If not, I’m sure I would be repeating myself!  That almost happened today!  I was trying to find things to use for the letter X.  I even downloaded the  Dictionary.com app to my new smarter than me phone so that I could search while Ralph and I were on a short road trip.  It’s a great app and I’m sure I’ll use it but it didn’t help me.  No fault of the app.

Last year I did X marks the spot because I couldn’t think of anything else!  As I looked back at last year’s post, I realized that most of my photos disappeared.  Not happy about that, but this is a new year!  I won’t let that happen this time because I’m also part of Snapshot Saturday today, and photos disappearing just wouldn’t do! Snapshot Saturday is hosted by Alyce at At Home With Books so please be sure to check out some of the other great photos posted there.

This year I’m making a different use of the X. The X is used to cross things out, to remove something added my mistake, something not necessary.

That’s what I’m doing right now.  I’m making great use of the letter X in my life.  I’m crossing out the unnecessary things, objects I no longer need…literally cleaning house.  Trying to clear out some emotions I don’t need at the same time.  I think I’m getting there bit by bit.  Thursday was a good day and helped in that regard.  I’ll talk more about that when the Challenge is over.  So I want you all to think of me this weekend and in the coming weeks putting a great big old X across a lot of things.  So much needs to be accomplished and I’m starting to have confidence to believe that it will.

Now to my snapshot for the day.  I was just talking about clearing things out. Well, this is an odd segue but how about a beautiful clear blue sky and some trees.  This was taken at the Revolutionary War battlefield park that is in our town.  I love taking photos there.

I don’t know why I like this one so much.  I just do.

X some of those negative things out of your life and allow yourself to see the clear blue sky!

Happy Snapshot Saturday!
