Reverb Writing Prompt #15: 5 Minutes

To be honest, even I, navel-gazer supreme, am getting a wee bit tired of all the navel gazing. I’m all about introspection, but this is getting too much. There need to be more fun questions (like that awesome party one). I would love to see more “describe some wacky thing” prompts. I’m starting to feel like they’re all asking the exact same thing. BUT – I am not a quitter (much to your dismay, I suspect). SO – ONWARDS & UPWARDS!

********************

Prompt: 5 minutes. Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010.

Fortunately, I have such a great husband & such a great group of friends, that I will be able to continue making some fantastic memories & I know 2011 will be even better!
