Five Minute Friday: Here

It’s a FiveMinuteFriday free write flash mob!  Ok, so you ask...what is that?  It is where a beautiful crowd spends five minutes all writing on the same topic and then sharing them. Want to know how Five Minute Friday got started and how to participate? All the details are here at Lisa-Jo's blog. And every week Lisa-Jo picks a post that catches her eye and shares it down there in her side bar – look for the spot that   says “Featured Five Minute Friday."  I started a few weeks ago when I found I was having some mild writers block and have loved it.  Ok, it is time to get busy with today's topic:  Here.

GO

Here I am sitting on my couch writing about whatever comes to my mind dealing with the word here.  I am thankful to God this morning that I am here, because it certainly beats the alternative.  Here is where I want to be, sitting in my living room, in my house, in the coolness of the morning, enjoying a cup of coffee, and the sound of my husband sitting at his desk tapping away at the keys.  Here for me is just one weekend away from going back to the classroom.  I begin working again on Wednesday and then on Friday I won't be here because I will be in West Palm Beach, Florida attending my 40 year class reunion.  I never dreamed I would make it to here.  I always felt I would die young but here I am at 58 and still going strong with a few medical issues.  I am glad I made it here.  Here is my favorite place to be right now.  I love living in the rural south and in Rock Mills, AL.  It is a wonderful place here and I am so glad I get to be part of it.  Here is where I am and here is where I want to stay....at least for now.

STOP
Today was a tough topic....but I managed to write for five minutes without blanking.  Have a great weekend.
