Five Minute Friday: I love the community of bloggers that come together each week to do what we love the most—just write. We all have the same one word prompt. We each have five minutes. No extensive editing or backtracking.
This week the word is crowd.
My husband found me in the closet on the floor—crying. It is not uncommon…really…if I am honest. I can be dramatic. This night I was spent. One too many things had went wrong with the day.
He walked in. And then he walked out. Then he walked in and sat beside me in silence.(So thankful he loves me.)
Finally I said, “Everything is broken.”
I have really been intrigued by the debate stirred up by Candace Cameron Bure’s (yes…D.J. Tanner from Full House) comments about submission in her new book Balancing It All. I have not read the book, but I agree with her views on marriage that has stirred all the buzz in the media about women’s rights.
Last year I was introduced to the concept of One Word. The idea is instead of making a new year’s resolution you are likely to break, you chose one word that will be your theme or your focus for the year. I my case the words choose me.
Oh Friend,
I need to exhale…decompress…slow down. I don’t know what it is about this holiday season, but I have felt out of control. Is it because I am juggling work for the first time in years? Is it because I am not used to the school routine of a kindergartener? Is it because we had a shortened timeframe between Thanksgiving and Christmas which was compounded by the snowstorm? For heaven sake, we have yet to bake and Christmas is days away!!!
Coffee in my mug and in yours…If you were really sitting across the table from me right now, I would reach out to you, grab your hand, hold it gently, and tell you who you are.
I hear you tell me that you are busy…
I hear you tell me that you are stressed…
