...a Writer's Workshop! I'm excited to start participating in this. What a good excuse for me to get my brain going!
So ... over at Mama's Losin It she holds a Writer's Workshop. She gives you prompts and you choose which one (or more than one) that inspires you most. My choice for this weeks Writer's Workshop is:
5.) What happened in the last year? Write about something you can do now that you couldn't do a year ago.
Ummmm, welllll, let me think about this one. Tough call. Since I still can't fly. I still only have two hands. And I still am not pregnant. Let's see, what CAN I do differently now that I couldn't do a year ago?
I know! I know! Pick me! Patience!! Waiting for our adopted child to get here from Africa has definitely taught me patience.
But ... hmmm ... nevermind. That's no good. I'm still not a patient enough person. And, in my mind things still aren't moving quickly enough for us to bring Charlie into our family. So, yeah, patience is still probably not something that I can write about yet. (And, sigh, who knows if I'll ever be able to conquer that one.)
So, moving on. What else? Let me tap my brain. Tap, tap, tap. I give up. I can't think of anything meaningful or life changing that I've started doing in the past year. BUT ... I have started a couple of new blogs to let my creative juices run wild.

And one to use as an outlet for the ramblings of a young woman with chronic pain.

I guess that's sorta(semi) monumental. I can now use actions in Photoshop that I didn't know how to use a year ago. And I can make blog backgrounds that I didn't know how to do even four months ago. And I can hopefully help others feel not alone in times of chronic pain or other trials.
So ... I guess, truth be told, I'm doing okay. I'm still not a super woman. I don't have magical powers. But I am me. And I am a better me than I was 12 months ago.
Thank you, Kat, for the challenge. And may you continue to bring it on with the writers workshops! My brain needs this!
