The things I carry in my school bag:

- Daily diary with planning
- Walking shoes and clothes
- Asthma pumps
- Lipstick and mirror
- Camera
- MP3 player
- Cellphone
- Tissues
- Gum
- Lollies
- Lunch box - salad
- Chippies
- Coffee mug x 2
- Pencil case
- 3x up-and-go
- Fly spray (as soon as we open our door the bugs fly in)
I changed my original post I think I needed to vent and then I got worried that I'd open up my heart a bit too much. My family are precious to me and I sometimes what you intend to write doesn't come over how you intended. I admired other slices who share with such honesty and openness. I had a turtle moment stuck my head out with this post then quickly retracted.
I keep a "wish" box....on the shelf...high up in my space....I've wished for the peace of my children many times....I'm pretty sure the one above in charge always hears our hopes, wishes, and prayers - we just don't always get the answer we want when we think we should get it. I will keep your whole family in my "wish" box.
ReplyDeleteHello and thanks...I have a prayer box where I write prayers requests and I just put one in today. I have a few in there and God always answers. True not the way we think but His way is always best.
ReplyDelete"I had a turtle moment stuck my head out with this post then quickly retracted."
ReplyDeleteI loved this line. I never thought about retreating as being a "turtle moment" but I will now. Thanks.
I prefer being a dolphin swimming free without a care. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteIt's okay to write and not post it until you are ready. Sometimes rereading your writing and thinking later helps you to get a new perspective.
ReplyDeleteAs to your list, that's a lot of stuff to haul, and you walked home with it? What is an up-and-go?
I know but a lovely slicer said that hauling those bags would give me muscles and I'm working on that this week. UpAndGo is a carton of breakfast supplement (milk smoothie with weetbix). I don't have time to have breakfast at home and when hubby drops me off I have breakfast at school.
DeleteI know what you mean. Not all our ideas/slices are made for publication, so we must reconsider and hold back on some things. I think slices should be thoughtful and encouraging. As a community of writers we should try to uplift, and some topics are meant for a select few eyes even though they are heartfelt. I loved your contents idea. Makes me want to see what is really in my purse--what will it tell about me? You are a very busy lady!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Normally I write in my personal journal and it's private. I was trying save my time and writing once for my journal and once for my slice. But yes some things need to written for a select few eyes.
