I’ve been a bit slack of late when it comes to blogging. This bear has been a little lazy, and there really is no excuse. I suppose the coming of spring has a little to do with it. I’ve spent so much time singing, enjoying the warmer weather and looking out of the toy room window at Sally’s beautiful spring garden, that I’ve just not been paying enough attention to my blog and my writing skills. So, being a Sunday, and with a gentle calm throughout the toy room, I’ve decided to spend just a few moments blogging.
But what to write about? I suppose that’s every writer’s dilemma at times like these, and being a bear makes no difference from any other writer – though perhaps a little furrier. Perhaps I should write about how lucky I am to be able to write. To be able to take up my pen (or at least my keyboard) and write away, expressing whatever it is I fancy, is a gift I’ve been given. Not every bear has my way with words, or my adeptness at typing with paws – and as I’ve been given this gift, I really should use it more often.
So what are you good at? Writing? Singing? Sport? Glory in that gift this sunny Sunday, and make the most of it. There are probably many around you who wish they could do what it is you can do.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go! (And enjoy.)

Next week is Children's Book Week here in Australia. My friend Sally is going to celebrate by rapping my story at Corrigin District High School (among other things). I've asked her to take me along so I can watch. Maybe I'll even join in, if the boys and girls aren't looking at me.
Book Week is a big deal for the children's book community. As well as watching Sally do her rap, I'm going to celebrate by reading as many lovely children's books as I can. Perhaps I'll do some readings here in the toy room. Some of the smaller toys can't read so well because it is too hard for them to held the books and turn the pages - and then the font is too big for their tiny eyes. So, yes, I think it would be lovely if I set up a reading corner and read to them every day. I'll let you know how I go.
What are you doing for book week?
