ONE WORD

ONE WORD CHALLENGE for this week is Puppy

The word of the week this week is Puppy

Whether you have had many puppies or never had a puppy of your own,  you probably have a sweet warm memory of a PUPPY.   What’s your puppy memory?  

ONE WORD challange for this week is "Copy"

The word this week is COPY!

I'm reminded of our children as they were growing and how quick they were to  COPY anything you would do. 

One day when our oldest was about 3, I had just finished using the desktop computer and he asked if he could turn it off.  Amused that he cared or understood, I said yes.  I was so surprised when instead of reaching over with his little hand at his level, he leaned back and lifted his foot to a very uncomfortable height and pushed the power button with his toe.  Until that moment, I didn’t realize for my convenience and to avoid reaching down, I had been turning off the computer with my toe.

Copy is powerful!  Be aware of what you do and consider the example you set – you never know who is watching and “copying” you.

ONE WORD challange for this week is "Listen"

“Listen here young man! Just where do you think you’re going?” growled Coach Jackson, to a very small-scared 7th grader. This is what first came to my mind as I thought about the word Listen.

My next thought, reminds me of a friend (we will call him J).  Whenever I sit down with “J” it’s like I’m the only one in the whole world. It doesn’t matter if it was a day or a decade between visits.  I always feel heard and somehow understood.  Having a friend really listen is like water to the soul. 

To listen is a gift that keeps giving.

FIRST Word for your personal history challenge

The ONE WORD for this week is "First"

To help you get a start with this weeks word, I'll share a few of my first thoughts about First.

• Track - I ran track in High School and always wanted to be First but not always was.  I'm quickly reminded of the very pungent smell of a Bengay like ointment the trainers often had on my fellow track members.  I recall some other vivid smells related to locker rooms...
• First born - I'm number 1 of 6 boys and some days I may take my being First maybe a little too seriously. 
• Adam
• First GrandBaby
• You may want to start a list of Firsts in your My Story book of lists, like first date, first car, first kiss....

Well that should help spark you to remember your own past and get your ONE WORD started    ---  FIRST!     

Good luck this week!
