Five Minute Friday: Story

I'm joining up with Lisa-Jo and Five Minute Friday. This weeks topic is "Story." If you haven't tried it: writing for five minutes, without interruptions, edits, or breaks-I say grab the Nike adage and just do it. Well, here goes...

On your mark.

Get set.

Write.

Life unfolds before us.

A seemingly unending ribbon of highway going on

as far as our eye can see.

The story unwritten.

The pages of the story of our life sit blank and unstained.

Unmarred by life's mistakes and tragedies.

Unblotted with tears and slash marks of anger.

Precious.

White.

Pure.

Full of promise.

Potential.

Hope-filled leaves fluttering in the winds of future promise.

The story of life.

Stop.

Writing the pages of my story one day at a time as I live, love, and luagh,
