After 31 Days: Live Intentional, I’ve started reading several blogs on a regular basis. One is Annie’s Musings. Today she had a linky link to the Gypsy Mama’s blog post about a “Five Minute Friday” challenge.
A what? A challenge? I’m usually a sucker for a challenge (especially one like the Joy Dare) so I thought I better see what all the hoopla was about. And, after a little looksey I think I wanna try. So Gypsy Mama’s “rules” are as follows:
1. Write for 5 minutes flat – don’t edit; don’t second-guess.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. Must: leave a comment for the person who linked up before you – encouraging them in their writing!
Okay…so…here goes nothin’. Starting the timer now.
Word: ROAR
“What’s for dinner?” he asks. How can such a low growl come from such a small boy? I ignore him. He persists. “Mom, did you hear me? What’s for dinner I asked?”
“Uh…I’m busy. Give me five minutes.”
In comes the middle girl and in a loud voice she sort of roars, “Mom, I’m hungry. When are you going to feed us?”
“I’m busy!” I roar back.
Too much roaring going on in our house. Gotta turn it from roaring to loving. How?
- Pray.
- Breathe.
- Be aware.
- Act intentionally.
— Dang! The timer is up. Five minutes goes by fast—too fast. I’ll have to finish these thoughts/ideas/patterns of thinking another day.
Now it’s your turn. What do you have to say in five minutes about ROAR?
