N is for NOTES

Notes –

as in taking them, in a class, or while listening to your doctor’s spiel on your medical situation, or perhaps composing them as information for the babysitter, housesitter or cleaning crew, and, my favorite, notes made in preparation for your next best-selling novel.

So may ways to use notes, as reminders and triggers and maybe, as I do, in your internet presence. My twitter account is @notablywrite, my email and blog use judybnotes and the title of my blog, of course, Judy’s NW notes.

Music incorporates notes as guides, along with rests, key signatures, rhythm markers, and so much more, but without the notes, would there be ANY music?

However there are numerous other usages for the word ‘note.’ Here are just a few:

-       A promissory Note

-       A security Note

-       A banknote

-       As relates to the scent/fragrance from perfume or wine

Hope you were taking notes today!

Notes

I waited hours,

or so it seemed,

for a turn with him,

my very busy physician.

Pressed for time, he spoke

like a speeded up recording,

until I pulled out my notepad.

“Wait!” I cried. “Was that surgery

with an ‘e’ or a ‘u’?”

That got his attention, forced

a pause, confusion creasing his brows.

“I need notes,” my explanation resolved.

“Your wisdom speaks volumes to me.

Please, may we review what you said?”

Charmed, he rolled a stool

from its corner spot,

settled down,

looked into my eyes.

“Where shall I begin?” he crooned.

I took very good notes that day.
