**About Thursday’s Special: It is a ‘non-challenge’ challenge that appeals to bloggers eager to wake up their creativity and show their own ideas and interpretation of the world. I invite everybody interested to join in. There are no themes, titles and techniques set for your expression, there are no limits and restrictions (no red tape whatsoever). The only thing required is to post a photo post on Thursdays entitled “Thursday’s Special: (your theme/title)” (as explained in my Thursday’s Special introductory post), to provide a link to my Thursday’s Special post, and to leave a link to your post in the comments section of my post. If you like Thursday’s Special widget, feel free to grab it and post it on your blog.

How thoughtful of you to schedule this post. I shan’t be doing that when I’m in Poland at the end of the month. I shall award everyone a well earned rest from me. Hope the trip isn’t too arduous.

Thank you hun for thinking of me. I came back less than two hours ago, and have been busy checking out the entries ever since. How long will our break from you last? 😀 I might do the same thing when I go to London on the 1st of May :O

Hi Paula 🙂 I’m just back from a ‘girl’s night’ so not at my best. You will be in London while I am in Krakow so we can compare notes on our return! I’m back 8th May. Hope your weekend is full of promise.

Hi Sonel, I was selecting photos to make a retrospective of bloggers’ entries for Thursday’s Special, and I stopped by your place again, to leave a few likes and most of all to see if you have allowed commenting somewhere. Honey, I am thinking of you and sending best wishes and thoughts your way. (December 5, 2014)

I don’t like it either and I have hard time explaining it to people; my being active now and making plans for 2015 challenges makes it easier. Apart from that I am not bad if I dont go out much (cold is killing me) and if I spare my hand from too much computer. I asked people if they would be willing to host a post (challenge) some time in 2015. I would love so much to have you here, but I understand if you can’t. Sending hugs and love your way. ❤

Yes, it is difficult explaining these kinds of feelings to people, especially those who don’t want to understand. I don’t feel like doing anything, so kudos to you for going at it. I wish I could. 😀
I am glad to hear that hon. Yep, I know how bad cold can be and I do hope your hand gets real better soon hon. I have carpal tunnel in my left arm and wrist, so when I do use it too much, the pain also becomes unbearable, so yeah, I know how frustrating and painful that can be. You just take care hon and look after yourself.
I don’t know anything about hosting sweetness, but thanks very much for asking. If I could, I would but as you know I am not much of a talker or writer either. I suck at both. LOL! I am very sure though that you will find lots of great bloggers who will be able to do it for you.
Keep well sweetness and take care. ♥ Hugs ♥
