I am participating in the March Slice of Life Challenge: A slice a day for all of March. You should do it too! Thank you, Two Writing Teachers! Readers, check out their site, and start slicing!
Tonight’s post is a form from an inspiration 2 years ago.
Right Now I am. . .
Trying to remember how to slice every day
Thinking about all the now-too-fuzzy snapshots I could have written down
Paying attention more than I’d like to the debates my husband has playing on his phone
Taking too long to write
Drinking tea as it gets cold – but no snacks after dinner…
Deleting almost finished “slices” that were more like information than moments
Looking around at the mess of the week
Deciding not to clean (there’s always tomorrow)
Listening to my wheezing, snoring 6 year old on the old baby monitor
Wondering if I should nebulize him now or right before I go to sleep
Making new tea
Wishing so many wishes for safety and health and peace
This format captured a lot of different things for you in a short amount of time. A slice of daily thinking. Thanks for being reflective.
I love this. I could see each of these sentence being the beginning of a slice on their own!
I love the Right Now structure of your writing. Your reflections are typical and sweet at the same time. I hope your 6 year old feels better!
