I'm joining a fellow blogger, Kimberly, in what's called 'Five Minute Friday'. I'm to write for 5 minutes flat - no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking. This may be a challenge as I probably spend almost as much time editing my blog posts before publishing as I do writing them.Today's Five Minute Friday topic:
In Real Life
Real life is having a lot of alone time. I'm surrounded by noises of a new city - traffic, construction, people walking by (usually with at least one dog in tow), and of course the noises inside a house that I've known for almost a month now. I'm getting used to the noises inside but it has taken some time to get used to the noise outside our fortress of solitude.
A friend of mine pointed out to me before we left our hometown in August that, like her, I have the tendency to turn in on myself and keep the outside at arm's length...do my best to shut it out when the input becomes too much. I've been so busy since we moved here that I haven't had time to think about this much. Now my oldest is in school and my youngest is about to start preschool. I'll have a lot of alone time in the mornings at least. How will I spend it?
Stop.
The five-minute rule puts an interesting twist on the result of the post. If you want to see what others are writing about, check out The Gypsy Mama.
