Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance

If ‘the voyage of the best ship is a zigzag line of a hundred tacks,’ then it is more genuine to be present today than to recount yesterdays. How would you describe today using only one sentence? Tell today’s sentence to one other person. Repeat each day.

RESPONSE:

My day started out anxiously and ended happy with the smell of the beach still lingering on my skin!

You just discovered you have fifteen minutes to live.

1. Set a timer for fifteen minutes.
2. Write the story that has to be written.

RESPONSE:

I would grab Kevin, run to the beach and watch the sunset. We'd sit on a blanket, holding hands, and affirming our love for each other. I'd have my last taste of chocolate. There would be tears, a lot of tears. A longing of not wanting to let go, to pinch myself that it wasn't true. 15 minutes is not enough time to say goodbye to my husband let alone my family and friends...*sniffles*

--------

I don't want this to happen, I don't want to know. And I cannot think about this without getting upset. I'm an emotional girl...this is something I don't want to think about more than a rational, realistic person.
