Five Minute Friday was started by Lisa-Jo Baker. She posts a writing prompt every Friday & hundreds of people write for five minutes straight on that prompt. They then link their posts to her blog. Voila! You have a community of writers sharing their ideas! This is such a great idea! Today is my first Five Minute Friday & I'm still getting used to the idea of just free-writing for five minutes. I didn't get much, but here it is:Prompt: Broken
There are many things that can be broken... homes, hearts, spirits. I am lucky to have come from an unbroken home, though that couldn’t protect me from broken hearts or broken spirits. But I believe that things which are broken can always be repaired, you just have to have faith. A broken heart is repaired by your next love. A broken spirit is repaired by a comforting word or touch. I am blessed to have so many people in my life to help me repair broken hearts & spirits. Enough cannot be said for having a group of people who will love & support you even when it seems that all is lost. A few years ago I believed that I was broken, everything seemed to be going downhill. It’s amazing how quickly things can turn around.
Note: There is a ton of traffic at the Five Minute Friday blog, so linking to it may be difficult today.
