Five Minute Friday

It's Friday again, while still waking up I wonder what's the word for today?  I have to give myself time to think about the promp, I wonder how many of the participants see the word, sit down & write.  For me it doesn't come that easily & I still have to translate my thoughts, because I'm also from South Africa and English is not my first language.

So if you want to join in Five Minute Fridays, go to Lisa Jo Baker's Blog and get the details, or stay a wile and enjoy what everybody writes.

Today's word is:  Broken

Start
With a lively two year old princess in the house I always hear girly sounds, a babble of words, signing along to the music & her little feet running (mostly) from here to there. 
So the term "Silence is Golden" doesn't apply to our day any more, for when it's silent it's more disturbing to me as a mother than anything else.
Not so long ago, I find myself wondering what's going on because of the long silence, so I venture out to my bedroom & lo and behold find her on the chair in front of my computer ruining my new lipstick. Just the day before I cleared out my handbag and left some of my goodies on the desk. & Yes, I do know this is not what I's suppose to do, but being in a hurry I did made a mistake by leaving out my stuff.
The precious face that was looking up at me, was full of smiles and happiness. I just burst out laughing and call for my husband to bring the camera.
You cannot imagine how hard it was to get 'long stay' lipstick off a precious little princess' face!
Note to myself: when the sound of your day is 'broken', go look & not packing way personal goodies before your 2 year old finds it, you may find it broken...!

Five Minute Fridays

"Writing is like wrapping yourself in words and giving yourself away." Lisa Jo Baker

This is where a brave and beautiful bunch gather every week to find out what comes out when we all spend five minutes writing on the same topic and then sharing 'em over there.

How to join: All the details are here: Five Minute Fridays with Lisa Jo Baker

Today's Topic: Present

Start:

Am I the only person dreaming of a fit body, an organized home, getting up early enough to start my day with quiet time, and having the perfect most productive day? I don’t think so, but in a way feel alone in all of this. Most of the time I tell myself, “you can do it!”, & I do believe I can achieve the goals I set out for myself. But why is it so hard to change........?

The fact is, Life Happens! 

Just as I set out to do something of plan my day, things change.  So this is how it is and I have to except that the present moment is reality.  Deal with it, make every moment count and don’t be so hard on yourself!

So here I am, writing for 5 minutes & I’m glad I did. Because I should have left already for ‘the day I’ve planned”, I should have gotten up earlier, I should have..........

These five minutes have made me think about my day and the lovely moment I have, sitting in the sun writing with my lovely 2 year old on my lap!  This moments is precious!

Thanks for a 5 Minute Friday!

Stop!
