In December over at Bigger Picture Blogs we were given our second challenge in our Writing Me series.
Our first challenge was to write where we are from and you can read mine here {under the ABOUT section of my blog}. And I’ll admit it was tough. I had to dig deep, because I kept dwelling on the negative and not on the positive. One of my many faults. But I think I found a happy medium between sickening sweet, and doom and gloom.
This second challenge was even harder {I guess that’s why they call it a challenge right?} I had to finish this sentence “In this family we…”
We what?
I was stumped and yet again all the ugly came out first. We fight, we annoy one another..etc. It was my own fault for trying to write about my family when we were on our way to Chicago for Thanksgiving, running late and just stressed out.
So, I let the ugly have its voice … then threw it all away and started over again, and again…
Finally finding the right mix of what our little family is all about.
And here’s what I came up with, and my semi-creative way of showing our intentions everyday…
Everyone does their part.
There are no free rides.
Mads,
Sads
and Angrys can get in the way.
And we work together and tell them to “take a hike”.
of joy
and
of sadness.
but we are perfect in each other’s eyes.
>Brilliant!!! I love it! Times infinity. 🙂
>Oh wow!! I love that you turned it into such a beautiful calendar! What a special gift to give your family – one to keep long after the year is through.
>Brook this is amazing I love it. You have such a wonderful family.
Infact I love this idea so much I am going to start planning my calander for 2013 😉
