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.

    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

    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!

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

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

    Just think, you would have missed all these comments if you'd chosen not to write today!

    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.

    (love the "some days" repetition)

    Right moment, right read!
    Some days are just meant to be
    That way...
    That's the SOL!

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
