PROMPTuesday #100: WOW

Etcetera, PROMPTuesdays

I admit it. I’ve given brief pause to retiring PROMPTuesday from my blog. What once used to be a joy and a challenge, has now turned into something “I must do” and that concerns me. But after careful reflection, I decided to be a tough old broad who hangs on until the last breath. You know why? Writing prompts are MEANT to be a challenge and sometimes, just sometimes, they are something “you must do” in order to break through creative barriers.

 

So we’re here to stay.

 

Plus, how could I send something packing that’s made it to 100?

 

For shame, San Diego Momma, for shame.

 

Here’s today’s prompt:

Leave some words of wisdom (WOW) in five words or less. Could be your life motto, your favorite song title you’ve adopted as a mantra, your fondest cautionary tale (e.g. Look both ways!). If you care to expand on your WOW, please post in your blog and leave a link in comments.

 

My WOW?

 

Stay open.

 

Once more — Please post your submission in the comments OR post in your blog and leave a link to your blog in the comments.

    “Never be afraid of saying no”

    (versus saying yes… I hate missing out on opportunities, but lately am enjoying the freedom of no. And my mom, as fantastic as she is always told me to say no on dates if I didn’t want to go. Timesaver)
