Five MInute Friday: Look

Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking

Five Minute Friday: Look

Go.

look beyond the piles of stuff, the dishes waiting to be washed and the crumbs on the floor.  look past the piles of paperwork, emails to be answered and voicemails to be returned.  peer into the small spaces that are so easily missed and you might find...

...a smudged hand print from not that long ago that is so much smaller than that same hand today...

...a love note written from a friend and received on a tough day...

...pictures, drawn quickly by three year old hands that illustrate everyone she loves...

...chocolate chips dropped to the floor when the stirring got a little crazy...

...marks from the wet lips of the one year old that likes to kiss everything...

this is life and more importantly this is MY life.  i will miss it if i don't just step back and look.  im so thankful for the days when the perspective is set and, regardless of what the day holds, the day is filled with family and life and love.

Stop.
