When I was a Child...
The One-Minute Writer: Today's Writing Prompt: Reading
At first I was stumped, maybe because I can't think of a time when I haven't loved reading, from the Mills and Boon my Mum used to read - my father soon stopped that! :-) to the Famous Five.
But then I remembered my Malory Towers books by Enid Blyton, I SOOOOOO wanted to be at a boarding school, it sounded like such fun. - I had an amazing flash back of this when in Indonesia last Septempber, I saw some Enid Blyton books. I was immediatley transported to that girl of 10 or something like it, who was snuggled up reading in bed with a cup of tea and probably digestive biscuits, to the light of my bedside lamp.
- This totally took more than a minute, but I just enjoyed writing about it so much, wanted it all in. Thanks for this prompt!

Could I be a History Maker?
The One-Minute Writer: Today's Writing Prompt: History
-
The time of the civil rights movement, I have always wondered if I could face what people faced then, would I stand tall? would I be willing to sit on that bus?... I think I might crumble, yet hope I wouldn't fall. So I'd like to see and be a part of that history, as it is my history, even though I wasn't born in the states,

Senses
The One-Minute Writer: Today's Writing Prompt: Senses#links
I reckon it would have to be smell,I've never been into perfume, it would help avoid those nasty whiffs we sometimes encounter, and I can always use my imagination as I gobble down glorious food! I never wanna lose me taste buds!

Today is...
Great idea taken from Inkpot Files/Erica Hanson
Today is going on too long. I made a pact with a friend that in the new year we would hold each other accountable for going to bed at a decent hour and here I am still up at 30mins past midnight!
As for the earlier part of the day it was cold, oh so cold, but I tried not to complain as there are many worse off. I did however feel justified in breaking my no complain rule as WHY should I have to sit in an office with my coat on!
It was bright today and full of the smells of food, pastries, chocolate, savoury smelling stuff. All unhelpful as I had decided to fast today! It was then home to unpacking shopping, with more delights,'ummmmmm, I can just taste those scones' I think, as they are packed away, 'and there's jam in the fridge'. My unconscious taste buds of my imagination run riot, and the smell of a toasted bagel being eaten by someone else is almost too much!
I limp off to my room, tired and hungry, and it's cold inside. I have work to do, but feel almost unable as I am just thinking about food, ooh and my head aches, maybe I'll just snuggle up on the sofa and sleep...
Today was walking to and from work and enjoying the crisp air and the sight of frost on the ground, the trees look so good in their naked stark beauty, I wish I had a camera.
Today is a dangerous thought as I look longingly at the frozen lake, I know it will probably crack at first step, and I also know I will probably be too scared to try, but the delusion continues, and may well have succeeded, but I see the sign warning no-on to go on the ice. Today is a day of escape

Last night when my friend confessed to me,that on the day we had committed to fasting in prep for some worship we will be leading, that she, while I resisted eating pizza at a meeting where whole pizza's were being eating by 3 others, AND I had to have a pizza in front of me so THEY didn't look greedy, was eating a BIG lunch with a friend and completely forgotten the WHOLE thing EVEN though I had sent her a nice text the day BEFORE wishing her the best! LOL (took a little longer than a minute!)
