Friday’s Writing Warm Up: Memoir Of Gratitude
As we approach the week in which we traditionally focus on gratitude and giving thanks, I thought it only appropriate to give a writing prompt on the topic. But I want to put a little twist on it. It is easy to make a list of things we take for granted;the air we breathe, the roof over our heads, our families, all those simple and obvious things in our life. Just for today, write a gratitude list for the difficult or hard times in your life, then pick one and write about it. Have you ever had a situation come up in your life in which you thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel then, somehow, things turned around and you made it through to the other side. How did that experience change your life for the better? What were the lessons learned during that time in your life; about yourself, the people in your life, and the world around you?
I write with gratitude for you, dear readers!
Until next time,
Walk in beauty, write life with passion
