~Complete~ (Five Minute Friday)

It's time for the Five Minute Friday where I set my timer and write what comes to mind from a given prompt. I'm doing this to get my creative writing juices flowing. Sometimes it ain't pretty! Here goes! 

I am completely unsure of what to write about for the word Complete. Complete is a difficult theme. There are so many different angles to take. Complete can be used both positively and negatively.  

That is a complete mess!

I’m completely befuddled!

Completed work is the only acceptable work if you want to get an A.

I am complete in Him.

You have completed the exam.

Don’t start something if you can’t complete it.

I’m completely in love.

He who began a good work in you is faithful to complete it. (Thankfully!)


I’m a great starter but sometimes I find it hard to complete things. Can you relate? I enjoy knitting and I usually have several projects on the go. Sometimes they sit in my knitting basket for a long time, because I’ve lost interest in completing them. Yes, sometimes the Second Sock Syndrome hits and  a half completed sock languishes on-the-needles. Such a sad sight. Sometimes I even forget what pattern I was using, so I have to look it up again..it’s been that long! 

I often get excited about new activities to pursue, but after a time, I lose interest. I may not have really completed learning about it, but the passion wanes for a time, sometimes longer.
I guess that’s just part of my personality. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

There, 5 minutes of writing completed!

  1. I can totally relate to the half-finished projects, languishing in my craft basket! I crochet, and I have several projects that have been waiting patiently for me to get back to them. Thanks for writing and sharing this week. I really enjoyed reading your post!

  2. I seem to be better at completing some things than others, but I do find craft projects hard to finish. I have quite a few cross stitch projects I've started and not got round to finishing because they always take longer than I expect! Visiting from FMF #24.

    1. Oh, I used to do cross stitch as well and yes, they do take a lot of time, but the finished product is worth it! Thanks for visiting :)

  3. I think we all have projects we start but then have to find the motivation to complete them. I am glad I am complete in Jesus :)

  4. Dealing with the prospect of terminal illness, I have found that I'm OK with things left uncompleted; the effort I can still apply is enough to win the day.

    The road is the reward, and the journey is the destination.

    1. Incomplete projects aren't so important in the scheme of things, you are right. Effort is enough. Your perspective is appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!

  5. I am definitely more of a starter than a completer because it's so much FUN to start new things =) But there is certainly satisfaction in completing projects and that is the flip side for me -- sometimes I don't start a project because I know I won't get it done in a day and then it will/might sit there....

    1. True! I like unfinished projects if I know I can get to them when I want. Thanks for visiting, friend!
