6 Word Stories
Thursday, March 10, 2022
Today, we had a meeting where we had to make a 6 word story in a group of 3, describing our year. I'm usually a writer, so I was surprised how hard it was to write a story collectively. In the end, I let my partners take the lead a bit and just contributed, but have been reflecting ever since about why that was so hard. We ended up starting with words that described struggles, then joy, and I realized that it's been more of a rollercoaster of a year than a linear plot line. What story do I want to tell? What year am I describing? Honestly, I had to look through some pictures to tell my story.
A few are optimistic for the future.
Socks
Wednesday, March 9, 2022
Is it weird that instead of matching the immense basket of mismatched socks, I instead went to Target and bought my kids new socks? That way, I could go another week without having to match those mismatched ones. Is that strange?
And, is it even more weird that the day after I bought those socks, I asked my daughter why I didn't buy myself some new socks, too? Because this week I wore Christmas socks in March because that's where I'm at. A nice new pack of mom socks would have been a super smart purchase.
But then today, when I checked Twitter first thing and thought the world was just too much, and I realized that we also didn't have coffee to brew, and the kids didn't want to get up, and I was running around, I had to go to that sock basket. I went into my room with a scowl on my face, and looked down. There, on top, were two black socks. A match, unmatched, but right next to each other.
The sock fairy turned my day around. That pair of socks went on my feet, and I put one foot in front of the other, and it was a good day after all.
Do you think the sock fairy will return on Thursday? Fingers crossed...
