Category: Five Minute Friday

I have had the hardest time making the time (and effort) to get on the computer and to do some blog reading.  I apologize that I have answered comments either but I’m working to get back on track.  Of course, as soon as I do, I will be “mia” while…

In the past, I enjoyed a link-up called Five Minute Friday.  A new prompt was given each week and the idea was to free-write for five minutes.  Just five minutes.  No editing, pre-planning and no overthinking.  For a few reasons I slowly stopped participating with this link-up and, of course,…

Summer is still here – don’t get me wrong – but the oppressive heat has broken and the delightful summer days have returned.  Even outdoor chores have been enjoyable…as well as the front porch lounging:)  This was my view yesterday afternoon.  Maybe not the best picture but you get the…

Ah, vacation photos.  Or, these days, vacation videos:)  Earlier this week, my brother sent me a video of my nephew cliff jumping (read that – jumping off the side of a cliff) somewhere along the coast in Nice, France.  The video was a bit grainy and it was a tad…

Happy Friday, friends.  I am woefully behind….not only in visiting my friends, in joining and enjoying the link-ups but also in responding to comments.  I have been a bit (quite a bit) under the weather this week.  I thought I might have some food poisoning as the pain and symptoms…

Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.  Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by…

Welcome to Friday….and time for another Five Minute Friday.  It has been several weeks since I participated in this free writing exercise and joined the other talented bloggers who create the FMF community.  I always enjoy it…and I am ready to jump in this week.  The prompt is VISION –…

Coffee.  Today’s Five Minute Friday prompt and the topic of today’s post.   My “take” on coffee before I begin the weekly writing challenge.  Yes, I drink coffee.  Do I particularly like coffee?  No.  I went many decades without any coffee but I drink it today for the same reason I…

Happy Friday and time for another Five Minute Friday.  Writing for five minutes – without overthinking – about a given prompt.  And today’s prompt is: easy.  (Oh, that should be easy!  Not really.  I just couldn’t resist). GO – Truthfully, though, don’t we enjoy easy?  We are bombarded with messages…

Carry.  That is the prompt for today’s Five Minute Friday.  If you are not familiar with it, Five Minute Friday is a weekly link-up as well as an exercise of writing for five minutes without overthinking and/or editing.  Not. overthinking is often more of a challenging exercise for me than…

Happy Friday friends!  It has been a good week.  I say that simply to praise the Lord.  I need to mindfully praise Him so much more.  Truthfully, my week started off much the same as the previous two/three/six weeks.  Despite my best efforts, winter has lately been getting the best…
