Still (Five Minute Friday)

Sharing is caring!

Still is a word that brings forth so many thoughts. It is almost Thursday again and I still haven’t written my Five Minute Friday prompt for last week. Okay, then, let’s do this.

“Be still and know that I am God.” “Be patient with me, I’m still a work in progress.” “Hold still!” “I’m still not touching you!” There are the stills of the foothills that make moonshine possible. I lay in bed some nights and think about how I need to get some sleep or I will be worthless at work in the morning, yet I am still awake and my brain just will not be still so I can rest. “Still waters run deep.”

Cancer is still a thing. It still tries to claim family members. If you detect it early, there is still hope. There is always hope.

When will I hear that still small voice that I long for?

Life is crazy busy and I still take time, make time, find time somehow to write. I write because I still feel like I am meant to write and publish a book. I still don’t know what that book is supposed to be, but I still feel compelled to write one. I still don’t feel like I have a clue how to plot a fiction novel, so maybe I still need to try other things when it comes to my writing. I have written hundreds of thousands of words over the past five years and I still have no idea what sort of book I am meant to write. It might be one that I have already started writing and I still don’t know how to finish. It might be one I have written and still can’t bring myself to even read it.

I read constantly, and there are still more books to be read. There is still work to be done no matter how much I get done. Each morning I wake up and think, yep, still alive, let’s face the day and see what it has to offer. Nope, still not tired. My brain is still not willing to be still.

If you are still here and reading this, I will relieve you of your misery and say enough is still enough. Thanks for hanging in there! There will be a couple of weeks that there will not be a Five Minute Friday post on here because there won’t be prompts due to the holidays (Dec 28th & Jan 4th).

The video below is a message to my hubby who doesn’t believe in blogs and never reads mine. Maybe someday he will change his mind and stumble across this one…

This post is part of the weekly Five Minute Friday link-up!
The prompt this week is: Still
The assignment: Write for five minutes on the word of the week. This is meant to be a free write, which means: no editing, no over-thinking, no worrying about perfect grammar or punctuation. Just write.
