WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY

This week we have two prompts.

Hold on to your hat.
and
A penny for your thoughts.




"If you give Pumpkin-man a penny for your thoughts,

you'd get change."

But what if he gives us a penny for our thoughts?
What would you tell him?

The saying, a penny for your thoughts, actually arrives from a time when the British penny was worth a significant sum. In 1522, Sir Thomas More wrote in (Four Last Things): "It often happeth, that the very face sheweth the mind walking a pilgrimage, in such wise that other folk sodainly say to them a peny for your thought. "

Hold on to your hat young lady.

"Live your life, do your work, then take your hat."
Henry David Thoreau


We hang our hats with style right? 

"Some hats can only be worn if you're willing to be jaunty,
to set them at an angle and to walk 

beneath them
with a spring in your stride as if you're only
a step away from dancing.
They demand a lot of you."
Neil Gaiman

If you think about it,
hats really do say a lot about our character.

Thanks for stopping by, I'm blessed by your visits.
