Notice small things.
Make a list of 7 things you have noticed. Review your list and challenge yourself to notice even smaller things. Perhaps you noticed the dishes that need hand washed. Look again and learn to notice the way the soap bubbles crackle with tiny rainbows.
The world is full of ordinary moments and when noticed, they become special. Small things are magical. Writers notice the small things that the whole wide world bustles past. Train yourself to pay attention.
write
Open your blog and write a post. It doesn’t have to be a list of things you noticed…it just needs to be written…and shared.

The word little stuck in my mind, and I wanted to notice a small, beautiful thing… but another little thing was on my mind in this time of home learning and the marathon of calls to our families..

Ruth, thank you so much for the invite to write again with my daughter, Michelle and all the others that I’ve missed since not writing for the last year and a half. My post is about my OLW and the small things that we often take for granted.

Judy I’m having trouble leaving a comment on your blog, maybe because I’m WordPress… anyway. Happy Anniversary and thank you so much for your sharing of Spring with us… we need as much as we can to keep the natural world with us in this unnatural time..

Hi Everyone, it is wonderful to see some writing friends here! You’ll see what I’m posting during April poetry month on my blog, an explanation intro each time. Most are reflections of this crazy time we’re living in, some more political than others, but all the day-to-day. Here is today’s post: https://www.teacherdance.org/2020/04/april-poetry-month-day-sixteen.html

I tried learning you a comment my friend but I don’t have a google blog… so there’s an issue, still but it’s great to be writing with you and reading your spring words in this era of Corona Spring.. 🙂

My blog post about noticing. Funny, I’ve had this in my mind to blog since February — when it happened in my learning space. This prompt of noticing was what put it all together for me! Thanks.
