This is the prompt and my response for last week's session. I blogged about the first one here. The workshop usually involves a quick check-in, then we dive into the prompt before we're given a few minutes to write our responses. After that, we all come back to the zoom meeting to share our response to the rest of the group who'll then give us supportive feedback.
Andrea Gibson talked about how they wanted to leave this world, shattered into a million pieces, having left bits of them in each person they touched. I want to live my life the way Andrea did. I want to be able to say, “I effing love my life.” Yes, I get annoyed, and yell, and get frustrated. My husband spills his cup of coffee on our bed and I fume. “Who’s going to wash the sheets?” Then, I remember how sweet it is that I get to have coffee with him every morning. A moment for us to chat, to plan our day, our week. To coordinate who’s going to pick up our nephew from his summer school? Who’s going to drive my dad to his doctor’s appointment? In the end, I want to live my life in gratitude, dazzled by its messiness.
