This is a great prompt. Going to use it in my morning writing-- I think what I would do is read a book all day like I did when I had covid and then a week later when I was bored most of the day as I had still been recovering and re-arranged plans as to not have much to do-- anyway... I love spending a day reading a book and then finishing it in the same day. So fun. If it was a feasible idea and actually something that could take place I'd ask my lord or whoever I'm praying to out in the atmosphere of galaxies galore to please allow me a day with my mother. I miss her so much. I'd read on the couch with her while she sat in her father's chair (reading of course)... that's what I truly wish I could do.

Thanks for the prompt. Xoxo. ♥️

As I wait to be called back for the latest bone scan (osteoporosis), I am grateful for time to pay attention to nothing but the here and now…and to ponder these prompts for a writing day tomorrow. A gift awaits—thank you, Julie.

I love this prompt especially your questions about why would we not spend the day in a special way… I am going to use it with my memoir class. I think we should think like that more often and I am trying to remember time is a gift not a foe I have to battle. I wrote about time a few weeks ago and the book recs and conversation were really good. Here’s the link if anyone else wants the book recs. I gave a few but there were some really good ones in the comments too. I hope you have a beautiful day tomorrow. https://pocketfulofprose.substack.com/p/trespassing-in-the-garden
