SoCS – Misty

Maggie

Stream of Consciousness Saturday is brought to you every week by Linda Hill. Check out her blog for the rules and the contribution of other bloggers.

This week’s prompt:

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “-sty.” Find a word that ends in “-sty” or use the word “sty.” Enjoy!

Since Linda said we should enjoy our writing today, I am going with the -sty I like the most – misty.

What a perfect day to use that word because it was definitely misty outside when I woke up this morning. The rain had ceased overnight and a light fog settled in making the morning misty. Our mountain area often has misty mornings. The type of weather where it is not raining, yet a mist will form on any surface from the moisture in the air.

The next thing that popped in my mind was the song “Misty” sung by Johnny Mathis. What a silky and gorgeous voice he has. I have listened to him all my life. Misty was released around 1959 so I was a young child, but my parents played his albums often. I would like to remind you that Linda’s instructions asked us to enjoy, so please enjoy this clip.

I am a sentimentalist, did you know that? I have a big heart and consider myself an empath. It is not unusual for me to get all misty-eyed at a tender moment in a movie, or reading a touching passage in a book. I have also been known to shed a few tears at just the right puppy or baby YouTube video.

And that confession made me think of an old country song I thought I’d leave right here for all the sentimental people like me. Enjoy!

  1. I was drawn to the word, misty, too and thought of the silky song. So glad you included it! My parents were very sentimental, and I tried to fight it when I was younger, but embrace the truth I inherited while reading my father’s letters from Vietnam. He was more sentimental than I ever ever knew – proof we can be sentimental and strong.

    1. It’s interesting what we can glean from getting a glimpse of our younger parents. I like a good sentimental person. We are a hearty bunch I think. Misty is such a great song and I am happy to hear you like it , too.

  11. We’ve had some misty evenings here, as the snow disappears. I’ve always loved that song, and Johnny Mathis’s version is among the best.
