Ketchup : Advice in 57 words
I began to cry.
Then I went home and for a few moments I did it!
Nothing came crashing down upon me. Instead, being still helped me feel relieved and refreshed. Brilliant!
The promt from Ketchup with Us:
"Tell us in 57 words or less the best advice you have ever received from someone older than you or that you admire."
(Laura is someone I sincerely admire very much. I have had the priveledge of teaching both of her children, and while she may be older than me, if she is, I'm pretty sure it can't be by more than a couple of years.)
Thanks, Michele and Mel, for allowing me the opportunity to finally put this into words.

ReplyDeleteI was so busy trying to, "Just be still," last night after the day I had that I fell asleep before I could like it up to them! D'oh!
And I'm very glad you did. Tick, tick, Ding!
ReplyDeleteSo am I, Daddy! And glad you got to write about Pop Pop's advice. It was yours to share.
DeleteLovely. I think "be still" is something I try to tell myself often. And when I listen, it works. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly great advice, JD. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I have to remind myself to just stop a minute to regain a little clarity. Go, Amy. Great response to the prompt. As always, a big thank you to linking up. The Ragg family is royalty around here. :)
ReplyDeleteMichele, you are too kind.

Amy, I can relate to this moment. What sage advice and what a good friend to notice you needed to hear it. I'm glad you followed through! Much love. Thanks so much for writing this out and linking up. We love that you did!

So true, Tabitha. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, I truly appreciate it. Hope you are taking time to be still, and that all is well.

Yay! This reminded me of the many afternoons when my mother had to braid my hair. :-) Thanks for the memory.
ReplyDeleteGreat advice! I tend to get worked up over things, so I could relate to the need to just relax. Laura sounds like a good friend :)
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to thank you for the very nice comment you left on my blog recently. I'm sorry it's taken me a few days, but I did want to let you know that I appreciate it!
