The Six Word Memoir
SIX words to summarize a whole life? Not an easy task for a wordy person like myself.
My children's suggestions:
1) Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee. I obviously love coffee, but even I can see the limitations of that as a memoir.
2) J, M, Z, R, C, B (the names of my husband and children.) I hate to break it to them, but that is not right either.
After some trial and error, this is what I came up with:
*I never imagined so much joy.*
Here are the other contestants:
Grace, step-by-step, each day.
Faith hope love; coffee laughter books.
Notice, listen, rest; God is here.
If only I hadn't, or had.
Forgiveness, healing; my life is miraculous.
The laundry can wait until tomorrow.
Come - the adventure calls. Don't wait.
Daily grind becomes a quotidian liturgy.
Lost: fear, dread. Found: hope, joy.
