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...
But such a great way to spend a day off and inside - lots of accomplishments and fun besides. Love ya, Mom
ReplyDeleteI always love your poetic way of sharing your day. You make watching the snow fall sound fun...although I am soooooo done with winter:)
ReplyDeleteI love how you wrote snow in your poem! I love that you took the girls swimming on the snowy day. That probably was so-much-fun. xo
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very busy day off ;-) and maybe I need two little girls to enjoy watching the s*n*o*w*
ReplyDeleteLove the poem - a tumble of words, just like your day was a tumble of doing. My 'days off' are the same.
ReplyDeleteSuch a busy day off. I like the time between the lunch and the dinner, and ofcourse shhhh sleeping time. :)
ReplyDeleteI always love, love, love your poems. In this one, I especially appreciated the first and last lines, as well as the snow intermixed. You captured it well, and it was easy to connect to.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun, watching your poem move through the day, Michelle. And I love that the girls are learning to skate. We lived on a lake when the kids were young, and my son was skating well by the time we moved. Just have to get them moving!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the snow, Michelle - I'll have to remember that!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your writing. It sounds like an exhausting, but fun day.
ReplyDeleteLove snow days like this! I so wish I had children to share snow days with!
ReplyDeleteI also love this poem! It's so, very creative!
What a fun day! But I am really ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteLove this snapshot of your day, especially the snuggling and napping, and the poetic way you showed us the snowfall! Swimming lessons do lead to sound sleep and shhh at the end of a busy day.
ReplyDeleteLove how you showed the full busy-ness of a "day off", Michelle! The "snow fall" was my favorite! Sounds like you had a wonderful day, even though it was busy. Sometimes, those snow days are the gifts we need to live the rest of our lives outside of school!
