I am linking up for the
Five Minute Friday. The FMF is hosted by Kate Motaung on her blog Heading Home.
Today's five minute writing prompt is "FIRST."
Start.
When I think of the word
first it makes me reminisce over all the firsts that I have encountered in my
life. Sometimes it’s exciting to have a
first experience and sometimes it’s scary to have a first experience. The most memorable first was 21 years ago
when I gave birth to my first child. It
was a girl. It was the year of a lot of
first. My first apartment, my first year
at college and my first time realizing that in this world you have to be able
to stand alone and that your parent’s protection and prayers can only go so
far. You have to be willing to take those
first steps into your destiny.
Twenty-one years later I’m still experiencing new
first experiences and I have learned to embrace them as opportunities to learn
and grow as an individual. In November
almost 21 years to be exact I experienced watching my first born give birth to
her first born. It was a boy! It was also one of my greatest first moments.
I have always loved the beginning of the New Year because
it has always represented a chance to start again to enter a year that has yet
to begun. This year my one word is productivity. I choose this word because I am in the
producing mode. I want to give birth to
something great and share it with the world.
I’m currently working on my first book and it is a great first experience
to be able to share with the world my creativity and insight.
First can be scary and exciting but always worth the
try!
Stop.

bloggers write on a prompt for five solid minutes. Check out Kate’s website for more details andthe link-up.
Richetta,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post about your first daughter and grandson! I love that God spaced them beautifully apart at 21 years! What a cool God-incidence. I am looking forward to see what God has in store for our sons too. I'm hoping it will bring some sweet daughter in laws and grandchildren in the further future. Our boys are only 9 and 6 years. Love that you found the place to stand on your own two feet to give wings to your daughter! I love butterflies too by the way so your signature is darling! Love, Jenn FMF #20 today
How wonderful. Congratulations on the new grandson! That is so exciting. I have 1 child so far, and I remember that first so vividly. What an incredible change children bring to life!
ReplyDeleteI love the new year as much as I love Monday's (which I do!) because it means new opportunities, new chances, and new HOPE. Visiting from slot #31 at Kate's.
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing and linking up, Richetta! All of the best as you plug away at your book! Keep up the great work!
