Five Minute Friday # 1

Trying on some new things...I joined a 40-day group here. Julie invited us to join her with Five Minute Friday. It is impromptu writing without editing from a prompt by Lisa Jo Baker tales from Gypsy Mama. I edit constantly when I write. So this is my first try:

Welcome... it is my Mama waiting with open arms for her daughters to come home from all over the country. It is the tears in my daughter's eyes the first time she sees little baby Isaiah. It is walking into my best friend's house. Heaven. It is a son waiting on the far side banks of Jordan. Jesus when time shall be no more. The bright blue October sky receives my lifted arms. A hot car on a summer day as the heat wraps itself around me.

 Yup. Less than one hundred words. Hm...will do this again next Friday.

I did this. So can you.


1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community..


I love you bunches and words - Pat

  1. Hi Pat! Just posted and popped over from Five Minute Friday. Enjoyed your post. Your writing took me on a little journey of my own through all the things that have made me feel welcomed. Very sweet and very much needed tonight. Found it to be a little like adding to my list of 1000 things for which I am thankful. Thank you for these thoughts as some of the last with which I'll close my day. Blessings on you!! --pamela t.
