MenoAZering; F=Frilly

For April, I'm participating in #BlogchatterA2Z, and you will find original images created by me and some ramblings to go with them. I will capitalise words that begin with the featured letter (on first use only). Let me know what you think of the pics, words, or both in the comments! For more of this madness, you can visit Blogchatter.

Lawdy, do we need some FRILLY in life. A bit of FRIVOLITY and FUN. 

Am I being FLIPPANT? No! There is no question that we are again in dark times. It can sometimes FEEL a bit disjointed when we have so much going on with all our connectivity (refer to the letter C). Most of us are living like we always did...except that we might be starting to juggle our FINANCES as the bills take a sudden turn north. The better off we are, the less we will have to do that. Or at least it will be delayed. Those of us on a lower budget will have already FELT the impact. In the UK, we have not only the effects of global influences but the ridiculous gambit I like to refer to as 'Break-Sh**'. 

So yeah, a bit of levity here and there would be appreciated, as those in charge FINAGLE the FUNDS and attempt to have us believe it is for our own good, that it is FISCAL FAIRNESS at its FULLEST.

And let us not FORGET that a dominant part of many peoples' lives just now is FEAR. The levels to which any feel that angst will vary according to their location and individual circumstance. One thing that helps to alleviate fear is laughter. Distraction from the FRIGHT or FLIGHT of their existence. A FEW moments of escapism and uplift.

Doesn't have to be belly laughs. Or even comedy. It can come as a surprise at seeing dragons in the clouds or imps in the cast-iron gate. It can be the dispelling of negative thoughts by studying the patterns in a piece of cloth and letting the mind rebuild them as other images.

It can come by the doodling with a stick in the sand... or a FINGER on the touch screen...
