Today is Slice of Life Tuesday – the weekly writing challenge hosted at “Two Writing Teachers”.
I was looking for inspiration today and found an old post by Aggie Kesler and the pattern she used really appealed to me.
Hello ~
I am many things – a wife, mother, retired teacher, a friend, a writer, an artist.
I keep my children’s artwork, reports, notebooks (and the youngest is 28), as well as cards, ticket stubs and other mementoes.
I love to read, flowers, playing cards and games, visiting new places, creating.
I like to bake, wander through thrift shops, take part in art and writing challenges, watch horse racing..
I wish I lived by water – to see sunrises, sunsets and storms over the water.
I need quiet in the morning and time with tea and a book after dinner.
I enjoy dancing, laughing, movies, time with family and friends
I think about all the work that has to be done on our house.
I try to seek positive solutions to problems and to learn something each day.
I always pray for my husband and children and for those who need it or ask for it.
I love this reflection. I might have to use that pattern someday too. It is very inviting.
Thanks Tracy. I keep a file and this one appealed to me today, especially when I had nothing!
This is a great structure for a post. I wish I were organized enough to keep a file of potential slices. I just think “Oh, I’ll remember that one…” ha ha…
I know what you mean. I have to save special ones I love or I wouldn’t remember them at all.
Just a few lines as a prompt and you create the picture of you in words. You are caring and creative with fun thrown in the mix. Just the kind of person I’d like to meet someday. 🙂
Thanks Elsie. I know from reaing your posts, you are someone I would most definitely want to meet.
Bev, from these few lines, I can tell that we would be good friends. 🙂
Thanks Shari! I’d like to think we would be as well.
I think we might like to be neighbors, Bev. Shopping at thrift shops is a fun thing to do, among other things. How great that you kept Aggie’s form, & used it so beautifully!
I feel the same about you Linda. Thanks so much for your kind words.
