Five Minute Friday: Full




1. Write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing.

2. Link back here and invite others to join in {you can grab the button code in the right side bar}.

3. Go and tell the person who linked up before you what their words meant to you. Every writer longs to feel heard.

Full...

Full. Full of what? Well, that's where choice comes in, right?

I can choose to be hate-full. I can choose to be joy-full.

I can choose to be full of myself and ignore others. I can choose to be grate-full for the bounty we have and share what we have so that others may survive.

I can choose to fill up my time with meaningless activities. I can choose to fill up my time with activities that will make a lasting mark.

I can choose to fill up my life with things or people that/who are toxic. I can choose to fill up my life with things or people that/who help me to be the person I need to be.

Mostly I choose day by day. Somedays, yes, I freely admit that I wake up with a black cloud over me and end up having a "horrible, terrible, no-good day". Those are the days that I need to take a step back and look at what I'm choosing to do at that moment.

It's those moments that help me realize how to be grace-full. And in the end, those are the moments that help me realize what this life is all about.

STOP.
