Day 30 - 2015 - BACON {FMF}



This is Day 30 of "31 Days of Free Writes", linking up with Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday group.  Check out all of my "Free Write" posts in this series here.


Today's word is #1 of the Top Five from the Reader's Choice words; and, what a FUN word {I think!} ...


BACON

That's right!!  Bacon...

When I saw this word on Kate's post...I laughed!  Literally laughed!  I do think it is a FUN word to "almost" end our month.

So, whatever do I write about BACON?!

Well, I do love to eat bacon; a good BLT or grilled cheese with bacon, or even a bacon cheeseburger or...just crispy fried bacon with breakfast any time of the day!

We've been writing so hard these past 29 days; it's great to have such a fun word to easily write about - or is it easy to write about?

I felt so silly when I read the word Bacon, I have decided to use the words from the FMF "free writes" and share this bit of "whatever"...maybe a bit of whimsy or comical relief ?!

So, here goes!  Hope you enjoy:

Perhaps it isn't that easy to write about this word Bacon?  I thought I'd have a hard time with Green.  I tried to Capture my Calling while writing this series.  I made sure to Embrace my Family and the Home we share; and to remember the Possible Love of Purple!

I Trust(ed) I was Ready to Rest before the Storm came along and Crashed the Wave(s) into the Sea.  I so wanted this series to be fun; and tried to have more Patience before I tried to Fly away...

I had to Laugh at myself many times, wondering if it was really Worth all the Silence and Hope I had Whisper(ed), thinking about the Temporary Honor it would bring to me.

But, tonight as I finish writing today's post, I realize the Value of what I can Offer to you, my readers...

With great Joy, I now present to you, on this Almost last day of our 31 day journey...


BACON!!!

And I pray you will always...

What a wonderful way to end (or almost end) a challenge!!

Can't wait for the next challenge!!!  What about you?

    1. Well, I wasn't sure how I was going to handle it, Tara! But, when I started that paragraph with "Perhaps" which was also one of the words...that is where my thoughts continued.

      I have a few "random story lines" that I've written in a journal that shows 6 words across two open pages...so, I started writing the "story" using those words, and continued it in the journal. I need to go back and see where I left off! And, perhaps, share it all in my blog!

    1. I thought I'd find something "bacon-y" today; but decided to pass on it! I've had a sinus infection and just no appetite; and didn't think fried...bacon...would be very good for the tummy!

      Appreciate your reading and commenting!

    1. Well, I know I should NOT eat the stuff, Alexa! Yet, sometimes I do...I usually wait for the once-a-month breakfast my husband and I attend for his High School reunion meet-up...so, I don't eat it often!

      Glad I raised a smile for you...I hoped it would be light and...even silly!! Thanks for reading and commenting!

    1. Thank, my friend! It just came to me as I wrote that first "Perhaps" and thought...hmmm! How would it be to "wrap up" a month of words! And someone posted on facebook what we would re-name our series, now that we are at the end; and I said..."Words, words, words...and BACON!

      Thanks for reading and commenting!
