March 19 What Do You Do Instead?

I’m writing every day of March for the Slice of Life Challenge at Two Writing Teachers

Yesterday I admitted that I’m not really so good at puzzles.

“You mean you don’t DO puzzles,” they said.

And that’s true. (And sounded just like what my mom says…)

“What do you do instead?” They asked me.

“Instead of puzzles?” I confirmed. Because “What do you do instead?” Is an amazing question.

What do I do instead?

I write.
I try to embroider.
Sometimes I play the piano.
I watch movies.
I read.

What do you do instead?

  1. I do lots of things instead of puzzles! I will work on a puzzle for a little bit but my husband and son could do it for hours. I get frustrated looking for a particular piece that one of them will pluck from the pile of pieces and pop it into the puzzle in seconds.

  2. I do puzzles only with my seven-year-old granddaughter – and she’s a whiz at them anyway. Love how you say “try” to embroider – I get it! I read, yes, and watch TV movie series with my husband in the evenings – one of my favorite parts of the day.

  3. I do a few word puzzles, but not jigsaw puzzles. I write. I crochet. I read. I watch movies and news shows. I play and create. Nice post!

  4. I love this question and this dose of perspective. No, you may not be good at X, but you DO do Y really well!
