Courage Doesn't Always Roar:
​The Quest to Be Better Each Day 

#SOL21 Day 5 of 31: Ten Minutes

3/5/2021

I have ten minutes to write this post.
As I write this post, my daughter is insisting I take our puppy out even though I just took him out and I have ten minutes to write this post.
I just took a minute to tie shoes because we have to leave in less than ten minutes to get to tumbling classes, our new Friday commitment (what was I thinking?!)
I've scarfed down an early dinner because I won't want to cook after 7 and I'll be starving or I would have been if I didn't eat so much Irish soda bread we baked after school to redeem the horrible loaf we made on Wednesday (never rose- must have left out the baking soda). 
And now it's 7 minutes to write this post.
"Help!" from the basement. Oh no- this will definitely cut into the 6 remaining minutes I have to say something interesting, relevant, wise or profound. 
Now the puppy won't leave the basement and there are 5 minutes to go. 
Four minutes to go and now I'm feeling the pressure that this post has gone nowhere.
I had ten minutes to write this post. 
My daughter wants to leave early so there goes my remaining 3 minutes. 
​Happy Friday.

Perfect Slice for a Friday!! I can feel the time ticking and the urgency to write. I'm grateful for this reminder that what's important to is just write.

I found myself reading faster and faster as you counted down. Ah, the power of words!

My Friday was equally frantic. Thank goodness we can sleep it off tomorrow. And thanks for putting Irish Soda Bread into my brain! I'll be making some tomorrow.

Wow, I wouldn't have been able to get anything written in 10 minutes! I loved how you showed the frazzled hurry so many of us live in right now, pulled in so many different directions as so many parts of our lives collide!

I felt your sense of urgency...it was like I could see an imaginary sand timer quickly draining the last of its contents. Glad you wrote even though you only had (less than) 10 minutes!
