Be a Light

Be a Light

At the end of my life, I wanted it not said upon my epitaph: “Lo, she successfully laundered thousands of loads of laundry.”

Friends: there’s more to life.

Change the checkboxes.

  • Showed compassion for struggle
  • Experimented with a new approach to learning
  • Discovered what doesn’t work for that one child
  • Gave out hugs like it’s my job
  • Enjoyed poetry
  • Expanded my worldview
  • Paid attention to this single amazing day
  • Folded undies like a Kon Mari folding expert (okay, I slipped one laundry item into the list, but at least try elevating the task just for today!)

You’re a blaze of energy and light in someone’s life. Live like it. Assign credit. Grow.

Friday Freewrite: Static Electricity

A curious alien from outer space is visiting your family and asks what static electricity (those electric charges that sometimes make your hair stand on end and create zaps when touching a door knob or a blanket out of the dryer) is like on your planet. Describe some experiences you’ve had with it and how it feels to you.
