Blogging A to Z 2026 Theme Reveal

Posted bySusanne MatthewsPosted inUncategorized

Welcome to the April Blogging A to Z Challenge for 2026. This year, I will journal much as I did last year, but this year, there’s no hip surgery in the works and while I will need cataract surgery later in the year, for now, everything is on track.

This year, I’ll be using memes to focus my posts. Back in August, my granddaughter left home to go to college. I started sending her good morning memes every day to show her that I was thinking of her. She was only seventeen and going away to school in a city five hours away by car, knowing no one there, and enrolled in a program that turned out to be hell for her since it was heavily focused on Physics, made for a miserable experience. I sent the memes each day, chatted and offered support but in the end, after passing all of her first semester courses, she made the wise decision not to persue semester two and came home. She’s already been accepted at the local college in a social work program, something that will be much better for her.

Those morning memes made her smile and kept her going. Now, I share at least one good morning meme on my Facebook page each day. It’s more important than ever to start the day on a positive note. So, I hope you’ll follow me along and enjoy a smile each day–and there just might be some old rock and roll music, a few recipes, and a sneak peek at what I’m working on now, too.

See you in April!

Hi! I live in Eastern Ontario. I'm married with three adult children and five wonderful grandchildren. I prefer warm weather, and sunshine but winter gives me time to write. If I’m listening to music, it will be something from the 1960s or 1970s. I enjoy action movies, romantic comedies, but I draw the line at slasher flicks and horror. I love science fiction and fantasy as well. I love to read; I immerse myself in the text and, as my husband says, the house could fall down around me, and I’d never notice. My preferences are as varied as there are genres, but nothing really beats a good romance, especially one that is filled with suspense. I love historical romance too, and have read quite a few of those. If I’m watching television, you can count on it being a suspense — I’m not a fan of reality TV, sit-coms, or game shows. Writing gives me the most pleasure. I love creating characters that become real and undergo all kinds of adventures. It never ceases to amaze me how each character can take on its own unique personality; sometimes, they grow very different from the way I pictured them! Inspiration comes from all around me; imagination has no bounds. If I can think it, imagine it, I can write it!

  5. I love memes too and I used to take the time to create some when I had more time…. work just gets in the way of everything. I also loved the Willie ♫♪ tune …perfect for what we have coming up. Good luck …. looking forward to the memes and if we really like them can we borrow or share as long as we give credit to you? I really like the squirrel dude.

    Cheers
