Five Minute Friday: View

Every Friday Lisa-Jo Baker posts a word prompt.  The idea is to set a timer and write for five minutes. You would be amazed at how fast 5 minutes really is. Once the five minutes is up you jump on over to her page here and post your link. Once you link up visit the person before you and offer some words of encouragement for their writing. 


My view from the front porch looking in... 

I am bursting from the seems. I was to shout of the mountain tops.

I want to be a voice heard. 

I am ready to run my world. I am ready to make a difference.

The thoughts stew. The thoughts boil. The thoughts want to burst out. The thoughts want to become word. 

The words want to spew. They want to turn into wisdom of my life. Guidance of my path.

Yet, the thoughts make it no further than my mouth. The words stay as quite as books resting on a table. 

Right on the tip of my tongue waiting for their day to make an entrance.

...Your view looking in sees me as a shy, quite girl.

Life is a song. 

It has it slow times and its fast times. 

Here lately there have been more fast times that slow times. I always heard the older you get the fast time goes and boy is that the truth. My husband and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary yesterday. I don't know where the time has gone. It seems just like yesterday that I was walking down the aisle with my arms linked in with my dad and my brother. I miss the times when the family was all together. It is amazing the twists and turns life takes. 

Life is a song. 

I want more slow times in life to be able to enjoy the ones around me. Life seems to be going a million miles a minute. I want time to enjoy life. Enjoy time with those in my life right now. I want to be able to take a minute and smell the roses. 

Life is a song. 

Riding around the dirt country roads with music blaring with a drink in one hand and my love's hand in the other.  Not realizing that countless hours has passed. 

Where has the time gone?

Five Minute Friday: Comfort

I was reading a friends blog JShu on the Journey and came across a five minute writing activity from Lisa-Jo Baker.  I used to do a lot of writing in my free time for fun and here lately I haven't had the time. I am going to challenge myself to keep up with her Five Minute Friday activity. Here is too week 1!

I take comfort in knowing that I have the best family and friends a girl could ask for. This weekend I will be celebrating being with the best man I know. Six years ago I walked down the isle to say "I do." To this day that is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I am with someone that loves me whole heartily. I can be myself and not have to try and hide my flaws. I know my husband loves me for being me. For that I don't have words that can describe the love I have for my husband.

I have the best parents! They have supported me in everything that I have ever wanted to do. When I told my parents that I was engaged at 18, they were nervous at first. They quickly came around to the fact that I wasn't changing my mind. My parents have been my biggest supporters throughout my life.

Besides my parents, my brother Joshie has been my biggest cheerleader. We have always been there for each other and we always will be.

It is amazing how fast five minutes goes by....
