Pondering - Light

It's Thursday! One of my favorite days. Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.  

Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:  

Light or Lite 

 Light - what comes to mind?  First I think of sunlight and the warmth it brings - definitely different than daylight which doesn't necessarily bring any warmth with it.

Then, there's those lights you turn on with a switch to illuminate the darkness, a light bulb, a light fixture, a flashlight, a book light or headlights.

There's those lights on electronic devices, red power lights, flashing lights on our routers.....

Stop lights - I think the town I work in has maybe a dozen while the town I live in has none! But we do have those flashing railroad crossing lights!

Of course there's all those "lite" foods out there, you know - the ones that taste like cardboard or chalk.

My favorite light is the one that I've always called "my idiot light." You know how it is when you can't understand something you're trying to learn - some new concept from a textbook or some instruction manual? You just can't seem to grasp it and then all of a sudden that "light" goes on in you head and you're like, "Oh, I see, that's easy! Why didn't I see that before?" I did that just last week when I bought a new toothbrush and was trying to figure out how to change the attachments. I spent a good 5 minutes trying to push the attachment up, pressing in different places to find that release button.  Then my idiot light went off and I slid the catch DOWN and it came right off in my hand. Duh! Yes, I have an idiot light!
