Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “shake.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Well the first thing that sprang to mind with the prompt was to give myself a mental "shake" and get on with writing a post that didn't relate in any way to a letter of the alphabet.
Yes I've been trying to complete the A-Z challenge again this year and I've been hanging on by a thread. I didn't have any posts written at the start of the challenge, we've had family staying over Easter so busy at home yet somehow I've managed to keep on track - just!
Actually giving yourself a mental shake is not a great idea. The brain is not intended to shake inside your head - Hubby is testament to that as he suffered a brain injury when he was knocked off his bike many years ago now. Thankfully he recovered well. But so often that phrase is used in books.
Another phrase that has wound up a book group I'm a member of is "letting out the breath you didn't know you were holding" - there have been numerous Facebook posts quoting books with that line in and now we're working on books that "make your eyes roll".
Some things do need to be given a shake though - Martinis according to James Bond, as in "shaken not stirred".
Well I need to stir myself now and get on with the day - it's been a slow start here so I should "shake a leg" as the saying goes.
Thanks to Linda for the prompt. Find out all the details etc here.
This A to Z challenge has been hard for me, too, but we are hanging on . . .and we are almost to the finish line! I enjoyed your post today!
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of the word shake, I think about my body also think of milkshakes
