This was supposed to be a Sunday Scribblings post. It still is titled that but it just happened to tumble into this Tuesday this week 🙂 Do you have that happen to you too, when days just tumble into each other?
In my last Scribblings, I talked about the many predictions for the year from years past. Some are plain wacky, while others are still scifi and some others, well, I don’t know if anyone will need them.
And while we are not zipping and zooming anywhere like the Jetsons yet, we do have many cool inventions that are in the works or already there if you want it and definitely not scifi.
Note: none of these are affiliate links. I enjoyed these discoveries and so sharing them with you.

Things (Mostly) Literary
Literary celebrations coming this week
18 – Winnie the Pooh Day – (re)read your old copy of Winnie the Pooh or watch one of the many The Mini Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on Youtube. I cannot decide on one favorite character still, even years after I first was introduced to this bear. Some days it is Winnie, on others it is Eeyore, and still others …
Do you have a favorite Winnie the Pooh character?
18 – National Thesaurus Day (Peter Mark Roget’s birthday) – Pick up a thesaurus or go online, and discover new words to celebrate this.
And speaking of Winnie the Pooh and National Day celebrations, here is one quote that makes me smile and the celebration coming this week perfectly matching the quote
“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.”
—Winnie the Pooh
January 16th is celebrated as, you guessed it, National Nothing Day! (Oh well, I know I can do nothing; but that day, ‘nothing’ is out of the question)

So, there it was, a wrap up of this last week and a bit more. As I continue posting for this month, I hope to introduce you to more wonderful reads; and glimpses of my photography attempts(old and new, based on the prompts and rules) via my #photoaday posts!

Beautiful photographs and yes, there are definitely days that would go on and on forever with my scribblings if it weren’t for the fact that I fell asleep and the endless today became a tomorrow.
