I am thirty-none-of-your-business years old.
If someone gave me the writing prompt, “With my hands I can…”, I’d probably write one or all of the following:
Feed myself.
Button a shirt.
Stir stuff.
Spray glitter.
Text my BFF.
Update my Facebook status.
Sprinkle sprinkles on cupcakes.
Write in the sand.
Write a blog post…
But I when one is 5 and the kindergarten teacher gives this prompt,
With my hands, I can...
My daughter… My dreamer… My driven little spawn of goodness, hope and all things dreamy comes up with this:
hold a chocolate bar and two balls
Inspiration can be found in anything and everything. Lately, as I hunger and thirst for inspiration… in writing or just coping with the daily grind… I am finding a fountain of inspiration in my little girl. Her eyes are open. Everything is exciting. A simple pink bow in her hair, I swear, makes her eyes sparkle.
How does she do that?
Even her disappointment inspires me. A child’s unaffected view of how things should be… viewing all things in full color. Without concern. Yellow is yellow even if it’s purple.
Ooooooooor… one can hold a chocolate bar and two balls at the same time even if short one pinky.
So. I have to ask — what inspires you lately?
