What I Won’t Miss
Cleaning
Traffic
Worries
Noise
Disappointment
Library fines
Mosquito bites
Following directions
Rules
The unknown.
What I Will Miss
Long kisses
Raindrops
Running
Holding hands
Belly laughs
Early mornings
Long naps
First cups of coffee
Finding strength
Writing.
Reading Nora Ephron‘s lists of what she won’t miss and what she will, and the others written inspired by her, made me nostalgic, weepy even.
Life is good, isn’t it friends?
Meant to be, just the way it is.
Today, I’m at my friend Jamie’s place, Chosen Chaos, giving my 18 year old self one piece of advice.
Just one.
I’m also sharing an excerpt from one of the essays that I’m ridiculously proud to have as part of Write for the Fight.
Write for the Fight is a collection of seasonal essays written by thirteen authors and published by Booktrope Publishing.
All writer royalties are donated to charities benefiting the fight against breast cancer.
Please visit me at Jamie‘s today, she is thoughtful and kind, and please help me get the word out about Write for the Fight.
You can:
Memories Captured is still open today! Join us, won’t you?
Now I must know, what will you miss? What won’t you? Come tell me at Jamie’s. I can’t wait to see you there! xo
