At least temporarily. I need to write my own slice, and I’ve had an idea in mind since I read Ramona’s Will I Be Able to Stop at Three?
My answer to Ramona’s question has always been no. I can’t stop at just three comments! Not when there are nearly 200 slices to read each day.
But today, I stop at three. I need to write my own slice and figure out my day.
I’m still thinking about Alice’s non road trip and wondering where I would go. A bookstore and a hike sounds perfect to me as well. It’s my spring break. My road trip of the imagination could easily become reality today.
With a visit to a bookstore on my mind, I can’t help clicking on Leslie’s Bookstore slice to read about her bookstore trip with her son. I’m trying to guess what that 1200-page book might be–and what 500-page title he selected instead. I’m also curious about a classroom where a teacher includes a 1200-page book on a list of possibilities for a class project!
I end with Amy’s 5-4-3-2-1 post, a format I always enjoy. Amy finds surprising beauty and depth in this format. I say one line of her gratitudes out loud just to enjoy her poetic phrasing: “Long mornings of still silence while the house sleeps peacefully.” Her gratitude for sunshine reminds me of the weather forecast for the next two weeks: cloudy forever with barely a glimmer of sun. And I’m grateful again for yesterday’s sunshine and blue skies and glad I got outside for a walk.
I glance at the time. I still haven’t decided what to do with my day. I’ll just comment on a few more slices as I figure it out.
