sols: some days

Slice of Life Stories hosted


some days are
easy, fast-paced,
check-it-off-your-to-do-list
kind of days.

some days are
action-packed and challenging
so nothing-gets-accomplished
kind of days.

some days i
take time to laugh
and live in the
moment.

some days i
struggle to see
the joy in the littlest
moments.

some days i
can't wait to write
and share my
story.

some days i
don't want to write.
end. of.
story.

but today,
another some day,
i decided to write
anyways.

  3. Thank goodness each day is different or else what a boring life we would lead. I'm sure we include a little of the above in each day. And what would we do if we didn't write? Thanks for sharing your struggles and joys! Love ya M

  4. And then somedays turns into a poem that is so spot on. We all have those days where we have to dig deep to find that hidden gem. You are a master poem creator!

  5. That's the way to go - don't want to write, but write anyways. The words may surprise us.

  7. Like the repetition & the meaning behind each verse. It's just busy 'some' days, you're so right, Michelle.

  11. The old, fingers on the keyboard, method of getting started. I know exactly what you mean! Glad you took the time to share this. I think we all can relate.

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
