a writing workout

I only wish writing burned calories.

I've been writing every day for over a month -- 33 days.
Some days for twenty minutes, and other days closer to an hour.
A habit has been formed and it's hard to just give it up.

Writing about moments.  Sharing an idea.  Telling a story.
Capturing a feeling.  Reflecting on today.  Crafting a poem.
Writing about writing about writing about writing.

Writing and thinking and tapping my fingers.
Adding and changing and fixing it just right.
Copying and playing and pasting again.

If only writing burned calories.

    We would all be skinny (at least our fingers). Great poem. Glad you're still writing. I'm writing in my head - it hasn't hit the computer yet. Love ya, Mom

    I am glad too that you are blogging daily. It's like reading a small greeting from you every day. Theoretically, the more time you spend writing, the less time yo have to eat. That's healthy.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

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-i...

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...
