5 Minutes: If I Knew I Could, I Would

Ok...here goes something I have been meaning to do since I came across GitzenGirl's blog.  She participated in The Gypsy Mama's 5 Minute Friday challenges and I am finally joining in!

Here are the guidelines from Gypsy Mama:

Write on the topic for 5 minutes flat with no editing, reviewing, judging, changing, etc. what you wrote. Just a "free write" for you educator types out there!

The topic for the day:

If I Knew I Could, I Would...

Go...

Keep up with posting in this blog.  I would write about all of the wonderful little tidbits that happen each day in our lives.  I would sit down without feeling guilty about other things I need to be doing instead of sitting and writing.  I would remember that this blog is a place to jot down my memories that I can look back on in the future and savor.  I would remember how much I enjoy writing, and remember how I have often thought how I would love to write a children's book one day...

I would feel courageous and start writing down ideas for this future children's book, start thinking of characters, places in my life, experiences I could draw from, etc.  I would keep at it until the book was complete.

I would know that I won't unless I try...

Stop...
