~Story~

I've decided to join the '31 days of Five Minute Freewrites' . With a given topic, I hope to write every single day during the month of October.  No overthinking, just set the timer and write for 5 minutes. We'll see how this goes, and if I actually am able to complete this challenge. I haven't done a writing challenge in a long time! But, the way I look at it, some writing is better than no writing. So, here goes! 

This is also my landing page. Please scroll to the end of this post  for all of my submissions for this challenge, as they go live. 

Day 1: Story

Your life tells a story. My life tells a story. Have you ever thought of what sort of story your life is telling? The other day I was browsing through our local free paper. Sometimes I enjoy scanning the obituaries. I don’t live in a huge city, so occasionally  I read about people I know who have passed away. Such was this past week. What I didn’t expect to see was someone younger than myself, a woman I had met years ago when we attended the same church. She was one of those people that made your life richer for having known her. This woman exuded joy wherever she went. She had a vibrant personality and her faith shone through in everything she did. She also suffered from a disease for many years, but this didn’t stop her at all. In fact, she was the friend who had invited me to her home to watch a video documentary over 30 years ago, the one I had mentioned in my previous post.  Her life certainly told a story. And it changed mine.
