today:  i anticipate the long weekend ahead

today:  i could feel the excitement before a much-needed break
want to be:  snuggled up in bed reading a book without interruption
blessings:  my God, my family, my home, and my profession
thinking: i'm too tired to write with that feeling of no words to share
planning:  each of the next five days with family and friends and too much food
writing:  a little slice of life today
loving:  the peace and quiet right now
grateful:  for a loving family, a toasty-warm home ...

and today {again}: i anticipate the long weekend ahead

This go-to easy-format quick-thinking in-the-moment writing idea is compliments to:

"It's a single print out of the busy cycle of life, a pause, a way to plan, 
and to remember to breathe in the midst of the everyday."

    Your quick-writing in-the-moment writing prompts looks good enough to try. Thank you for sharing it. (that's really not a subject-verb disagreement; i'm thinking of "prompts" as a singular thing, since altogether they work as a unit. And maybe you can tell I'm a copy editor?)

    Thank you for sharing your heart-felt list about your today. xo

    You've also inspired me to try it as I, too, could not think of words to share. I seem to collect drafts and finish them way past the Tuesday link-up. :0)

    I think many of us are feeling the same way right now: tired, yet excited for the few days off that lie ahead. I hope they are good ones for you!

solsc: comments matter 18/31

March Slice of Life Story Challenge  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! After two days of writing struggles, I was slowing moving out of the writer's block quicksand that was sucking me into that stuck world of "I don't wanna write." I wrote a different post for today.  I was ready to press on with this challenge.  I did not fear the orange publish button.  I was going to just write. Then throughout the evening, I read the comments from my slice from yesterday: struggle .
